SWEETS RECIPES : RASGULLA & GULAB JAMUN



 RASGULLA


Ingredients
  • Milk - 1 litre
  • Lemon Juice - 3 tbsp
  • All Purpose Flour - 1 Tsp
  • Water - 2.5 cups
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Rose water - 1 tsp

Method

  •  Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy bottomed pan.
  • When the milk is just boiling add the lemon juice little by little till the milk curdles. ( paneer separates from the pale coloured whey.) 
  •  Switch off the gas and drain this using a clean kitchen cloth. Squeeze out excess water with your hands. 
  • Dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour and knead the paneer.  Apply pressure and knead for about 5 minutes till it forms a cohesive mass.  
  •  Mix the sugar and water in a wide pan or a pressure cooker. Let this come to a boil while you make the balls.  
  • Make small marble sized balls with the paneer dough.A smooth ball is very important for good rasgullas. Roll each ball applying some pressure with your palms so that there aren't any cracks.
  • Add the balls to the boiling sugar syrup and cook for about 20 minutes. If you are using a pressure cooker, cook for 2 whistles. 
  •  Switch off and add the rose water. The balls would have doubled in volume and become spongy. 
  •  Refrigerate for few hours and serve chilled.
