Rasmalai

Rasmalai is one of the most famous (and delicious) Indian sweets, made from milk and sugar. It’s a very rich dish, served chilled.

I love this dish; it’s often served at weddings and other special occasions. It’s similar to rasgulla, which I’ve posted before, but here thick milk is also used. They’re quite easy to make, and paying attention to detail – like remembering to knead but not over-knead – will make them even better. Try this mouthwatering recipe!

Spongy Rasgulla

Rasgulla is one of the famous and delicious Indian sweets made from milk and sugar. Best variety of rasgullas come from West Bengal and they are very light, soft and spongy. Rasgulla is fairly easy to make but one needs to be aware of small tricks to make it spongy and turn it into a perfect dessert. One of the tricks is to make sure you smooth chenna (Indian cottage cheese) by kneading it  but don’t over-knead it.
