Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook time: 30 mins | Makes: 12 – 14 rasgullas
Ingredients:
Milk: 2 cups
Water: 1 and ¾ cup
Sugar : 1 cup
Lemon Juice: 1 and half tbsp
A pinch of cardamom powder or A few drops of rose essence
Method:
1. In

remaining lemon juice. Keep stirring until the whey completely
separates.
3. Switch off the heat and strain
the paneer in a cheese cloth.
4. Wash the paneer with fresh water to
wash away the sourness of the lemon.

tie it together. Squeeze the excess water and hang the cloth above the
sink for 30 minutes.
6. Knead the paneer to make a smooth pliable. Kneading
the paneer is very important. Knead it for 10 minutes.
7. Divide the
paneer dough into equal size small portions and shape each portion into a
smooth round ball.

wide vessel, add the sugar and water and allow the sugar to melt.
9. Now
reduce the heat to medium flame and add the rasgullas carefully.

lid and cook for 10 -15 minutes. Open the lid occasionally.

off the flame and let them cool completely.

Yes, take a cloth and pour the curdled milk in it. Wash it well in the running cold water under the tap to remove the sourness.

gunjan says
Why do the rasgullas flatten once they cool down, although during cooking time they are round n fluffy.
bhumi says

Vani says
I used 500ml whole milk. After draining off whey it only looks sufficient for 2-3 rasgullas. What went wrong?
Hari Chandana P says
Hi Vani, you have to divide the dough into small balls.. they will expand after cooking. Hope this helps. Happy Cooking. Thank you!
Vani says
Thanks for your response! I was making these for the first time so didn't realize they would expand during cooking. I will definitely make these again! I'm surprised by how easy it was to make them, and the end result was just so fresh and delicious! I'm curious, is there anything we can use the whey for? Please share any ideas if you use it. Thanks!
