Recipe Rasmalai
Rasmalai is a popular dessert originating from India. Recipe Rasmalai consists of soft, spongy chenna (cottage cheese) dumplings that are soaked in sweet, thickened milk flavored with cardamom and saffron. The dish is often garnished with chopped nuts and served chilled.
Rasmalai ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar (for syrup)

Instructions:
- In a large pan, heat the milk and cream together over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Add the sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands to the pan and stir well to combine.
- In a separate pan, roast the semolina over low heat until it turns golden brown.
