Rasmalai recipe | How to make soft rasmalai with detailed photo and video recioeBasically a indian dessert recipe prepared from paneer balls or chenna and sugar and rabri / rabdi. The sweet is originated from bengal but hugely popular all over india.

Rasmalai literally means juicy milk cream. It is topped with choice of dry fruits including pista, kaju and badam before serving. More importantly, the biggest advantage of this recipe is it lasts long for weeks if stored in fridge. Also, the paneer balls can either be served as rasgulla if served with sugar syrup. And as rasmalai if served with milk cream.

furthermore, i would like to share few tips and tricks for a perfect rasmali recipe. Firstly, always and always use fresh full cream milk. Secondly, while forming paneer balls, make sure you do not have any cracks in it. Otherwise, the paneer balls would dissolve in sugar syrup while boiling. Lastly, knead the paneer or chenna properly till it forms dough and no granules are seen. Do not over knead as chenna will start releasing oil, resulting hard rasmalai.
