Ingredients

▢ Full Fat Cow milk â€“ 1 litre
▢ Lemon juice â€“ 2 to 3 tbsp
▢ Sugar â€“ 1 & 1/2 cup
▢ Corn starch â€“ 1 tsp
▢ Rose water â€“ 1 tbsp
▢ Water â€“ 3 cups to make sugar syrup

Instructions

▢
Get the ingredients ready. Take 1 litre of milk in a thick bottomed pan. Stir at regular intervals and get the milk to boil. Add lemon juice 1 tbsp at a time, stir well. Add more lemon juice until the milk curdles completely.
▢
Drain the curdled milk in cheese cloth / Hand Kerchief. Pour water and clean the paneer, as it has lemon juice in it. Clean at least twice, to get rid of lemon flavor. Squeeze and remove the extra water from paneer.
▢
Hang for 30 mins to drain the water completely from paneer. After 30 mins, take out the paneer. Transfer the paneer to a mixing bowl. Knead the paneer and add corn starch to it.
▢
Knead at least for 10 mins and make a smooth dough out of it. Make a small lemon ball and keep it aside.
▢
Take sugar and water in a pan, boil the syrup for about 10 mins in medium flame. Drop the paneer balls into boiling sugar syrup. Now cover the pan, allow it to cook for about 15 mins. After 15 mins balls would have become double the size.
▢
Keep aside and allow to cool down at room temperature. Store it in a container and refrigerate as well. Serve yummy Rasagulla dessert with some saffron strands on top.
