Ras Malai by Shireen Anwer

OMG! This recipe makes the best EVER Rasmalai, EVER! And please note I am NOT exaggerating a bit. The Rasmalai doubles in size, so make smaller balls.

What you need

Powdered Milk————– 2 cups
Baking powder————– 2 tsp slightly heaped
Flour———————– 1 tbsp leveled
Eggs———————— 2
Desi ghee——————- 2 tbsp Melted or any oil

For milk syrup

Fresh Milk——————- 2 liters
Sugar———————— 2 cups
Green cardamom————- 8 – 10

How it’s made

  1. Take fresh milk, sugar and cardamom in a pot and boil it once and then leave it on low flame for 10 minutes, no need to reduce the milk.
  2. In a separate bowl Mix together powdered milk, flour and baking powder.
  3. Now add ghee and mix with hands again.
  4. Add eggs and blend well again.
  5. Kneed till it forms a ball shape. Everything gets together.
  6. Donot ever add even a drop of water, if the dough is dry add 1 tbsp of milk but No Water.
  7. Kneed for further 5 – 6 minutes.
  8. Make small balls and gently put them into the milk syrup.
  9. Once you add the balls, set the stove on high flame and cover. Once milk boils, keep the flame on slow flame till they are fully cooked around 10 -1 5 minutes.
  10. After that leave them on slightest flame (Dum) for 2 – 3 minutes further more to remove any chances of uncooked center.
  11. Keep ‘em in the fridge till chilled and ready to serve.

Decorate with finely sliced almonds on top.

    • |eemz says:

      hmmmm did you reduce the flame to low for sometime in the end? or Maybe you are kneading the dough for too long. You using fresh milk? Are you following step 9 and 10 properly?

      Do not leave the dough balls out in the open for too long, make the balls and place them in syrup within 5 minutes, it goes like this, make the balls and quickly place them in the milk syrup. Need to make two batches for some party, you will have to knead dough, make balls and place, need 2nd dough, make balls and place.

      Do not roll the balls for too long also, it will make the centre hard, just keep a light hand.

    will try

  11. Asma says:

    Good taste but could’nt get well formed ball. Don’t know why. it ended in kheer plz help. can it be because of egg size. here in australia eggs are jumbbooo sized.

    • |eemz says:

      Try adding egg, a little at a time and when you have incorporated just enough to shape rassmalai, “STOP”. Otherwise I don’t see why balls won’t shape up.

      Please do try again and let me know.

    i tried this recipe today and it was a disaster i don`t know what happened….my dough was very sticky……i don`t know why??……. i checked the recipe again n again and my measurements were accurate…may b it was the egg…egg was very large. wht u think?wht would be the reason?…and it was slightly uncooked from very inner core…if i try this recipe again i will give 20 min for cooking time

    • Sana says:
