Welcome to the world of deliciousness! Today, I'll teach you how to make the perfect traditional rasgulla. Get ready to impress your loved ones with this sweet treat.
2.
First, gather all the ingredients: milk, sugar, lemon juice, and cardamom powder. Make sure to use full-fat milk for a rich and creamy texture.
3.
In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil. Once it starts boiling, add lemon juice and stir until the milk curdles. This is the key step in making rasgulla.
4.
Next, strain the curdled milk through a muslin cloth. Rinse it with cold water to remove any traces of lemon juice. Squeeze out excess water and hang the cloth for 30 minutes.
5.
After 30 minutes, take the chenna (curdled milk) out of the cloth and knead it for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and soft. This will ensure that your rasgulla turns out soft and spongy.
6.
Now, divide the chenna into small equal-sized balls. Make sure there are no cracks on the surface. This will help the rasgulla to hold its shape while cooking.
7.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add sugar and cardamom powder. Once the sugar dissolves, gently add the chenna balls to the syrup.
8.
Cover the pot and let it cook for 15 minutes on medium heat. Do not stir or open the lid during this time. This will help the rasgulla to cook evenly and absorb the syrup.
9.
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rasgulla cool down in the syrup. Once cooled, transfer them to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
10.
Your traditional rasgulla is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it chilled and watch your loved ones relish every bite. Don't forget to share this recipe with others and spread the joy of making delicious rasgullas at home.
