Instructions
 

Prepare the Rasgulla

  • Boil 1 liter of full-fat milk. Turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature for about 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of white vinegar to curdle the milk (it will separate into curds and whey).
  • Drain the excess whey and rinse the paneer (curds) under cold water. Wrap the paneer in a clean cheesecloth and hang it for 30 minutes to drain excess water.
  • Mix 1 tablespoon of semolina into the paneer and mash it well to create a smooth dough. Divide the dough into two portions and add red food coloring to one and green to the other.
  • Roll small balls from the red dough. Then take a portion of the green dough, put a red ball inside, and seal it tightly, ensuring no cracks.
  • Make a sugar syrup by boiling 1 cup of sugar in 5 cups of water. Once it starts bubbling, add the rasgullas and simmer for 15 minutes over medium-high heat.

Prepare the Vermicelli Kheer

  • Boil 1 liter of full-fat milk for the kheer. Add the crushed cardamom pods, cashews, and fried vermicelli. Cook for a few minutes.
  • Stir in the jaggery (or sugar) and ghee. Continue cooking until the kheer thickens slightly.
  • Let the kheer cool completely. Cut the rasgullas in half.

Assemble and Serve

  • In a serving bowl, arrange the rasgulla halves. Pour the cooled kheer over the rasgullas. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Rasgulla in Vermicelli Kheer

  • For extra flavor, toast the vermicelli lightly in ghee before adding it to the kheer.
  • Ensure the rasgullas are completely cooked and spongy before adding them to the kheer. Overcooked rasgullas might become hard.
  • Adjust the amount of jaggery or sugar in the kheer according to your preference. You can also use a combination of both for a more complex flavor profile.
  • For a richer kheer, use full-fat milk and add a pinch of saffron strands during the cooking process.
