Homemade Rasgulla Recipe: Bite-Sized Balls of Bliss
- Heat milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium flame until it comes to a rolling boil.
- Turn off the heat and stir in 4 tbsp of lemon juice to curdle the milk. The milk will separate into curds and whey.
- Use a muslin cloth to pour the curdled milk through and collect the curd, known as 'chenna' or 'paneer'.
- Gather the edges of the muslin cloth and gently squeeze out the excess water from the chenna. Be careful to retain some moisture for soft rasgullas.
- Transfer the chenna to a clean plate, sprinkle it with cornflour, and knead with your hands for about 10 minutes until it achieves a soft, smooth consistency.
- Divide and roll the kneaded chenna into small, smooth balls, ensuring there are no cracks.
- In another pan, mix sugar and water and bring it to a boil at a high temperature to prepare the syrup.
- Gently drop the rasgulla balls into the boiling sugar syrup and cook them for 20–25 minutes on a high flame.
- Allow the rasgullas to cool slightly after cooking, then refrigerate them in the syrup until chilled.
- Serve the chilled rasgullas soaked in syrup as a delightful dessert.
Special Tip
Make sure to knead the chenna gently for softer rasgullas.
