RASAMALAI

Rasamalai is one of my favourite dessert. This is the first time i tried to make rasamalais and they turned out very soft and delicious.

Procedure:-

• Add 4 cups of milk in a vessel and turn heat to medium high.
• When milk starts boiling add lime juice.
• Keep stirring until milk completely curdles and separates from water.
• Strain it in a muslin cloth and collect paneer, run cold water to remove taste of lime.
• Tie a knot and squeeze the paneer to remove water content.
• Keep the paneer in a dry cloth for about 15 minutes so that dry cloth absorbs the water content from paneer fully.
