Are you ready to tantalize your taste buds with the delectable sweetness of Rasgulla? This traditional Indian sweet is a crowd-pleaser at any gathering and is surprisingly easy to make at home. In this article, I will share with you an authentic Rasgulla recipe in Hindi along with some tips and tricks to ensure that your sweet treats turn out perfect every time.
Ingredients:
1 liter full-fat milk
2-3 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
1 cup sugar
4 cups water
1-2 tsp rose water (optional)
A pinch of cardamom powder
A few saffron strands (optional)
Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a large pan, bring the milk to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
Add lemon juice or vinegar to the milk, stirring constantly until the milk curdles. This may take a few minutes.
Once the curds and whey have separated, strain the mixture through a muslin cloth or a fine sieve. Rinse the curds under cold water to remove any trace of lemon or vinegar.
Tie the muslin cloth containing the curds into a tight bundle and hang it for about 30 minutes to drain excess water.
After 30 minutes, open the muslin cloth and knead the chenna (cheese) until it is smooth and free of lumps.
Divide the chenna into small equal-sized balls and set aside.
In a separate pan, mix the sugar and water and bring it to a boil, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Gently drop the chenna balls into the boiling sugar syrup, cover the pan, and cook for about 15 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to cook the Rasgullas for another 5-7 minutes, allowing them to absorb the syrup and expand in size.
Once the Rasgullas have doubled in size and are spongy to the touch, remove them from the syrup and allow them to cool.
Garnish the Rasgullas with chopped nuts, rose water, saffron, or cardamom powder if desired.
Serve the Rasgullas chilled and enjoy the heavenly sweetness!
By following these simple steps and tips, you can create the perfect Rasgullas that will have your friends and family coming back for more. So, roll up your sleeves and get ready to impress everyone with your culinary skills!
