Rasgulla

Rasgulla is a very famous bengali sweet. However the fans of rasgullas are not restricted to Bengal itself.. its liked by many people accross the country.
As a child I loved this sweet and always wondered how it was made.
Surprisingly , I found that it is very simple to make at home.
It is made of home made paneer.
I shared its recipe with a few friends of mine and dang.. I got a positive responce from all who tried.
It is very easy, and a must try. so, here you go ...

Ingredients :



For Rasgullas:

  • Milk - 4 cups
  • Lemon Juice( or vinegar ) - 1 tbsp

For Syrup:

  • water - 41/2 cups
  • Sugar - 1 1/2 cups ( or 2 cups if you like more sweet )
  • Essence - 2-3 drops ( Optional )

Directions:

  • Boil Milk and add lemon juice or vinegar to it , so that the milk fat is separated from water
  • wait for a minute and drain the water through a muslin cloth.
  • Keep that paneer covered for aboout 5-7 minutes
  • Then, kned the paneer with hands for a minute, this will bring it together.
  • Now make small balls out of it and keep aside.
  • Now in a pressure cooker , take water and mix sugar to it and bring it to boil.
  • Add any essence you like ( this is optional )
  • Add paneer balls to this syrup and pressure cook for around 6-7 minutes or just 1 whistle.
  • Let the cooker cool before you open it.
