Instructions
 

Prepare the Cabbage Filling

  • Heat clarified butter in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add grated cabbage and sauté until most of the moisture evaporates and the cabbage is slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently.
  • Add mawa (khoya) and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and well combined.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Shape the mixture into small dumplings.

Prepare the Rasmalai

  • In a separate saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the milk reduces slightly and thickens.
  • Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and saffron strands. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Combine and Finish

  • Gently add the cabbage dumplings to the simmering milk mixture.
  • Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings are heated through and slightly softened. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and let the rasmalai cool completely.
  • Garnish with crushed almonds before serving chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Cabbage Rasmalai

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and high-quality mawa (khoya).
  • Don't overcook the cabbage; it should be tender but still retain a slight bite.
  • If the rasmalai becomes too thick, add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.
  • Chilling the rasmalai for at least 2 hours before serving enhances its flavor and texture.
