Mango Rasmalai

Mango Rasmalai

Rasmalai is a popular Indian sweet made out of cottage cheese balls which are dipped into sweetened thick milk. Usually served chilled with nuts and saffron added to it.

It is easily found in sweet shops. But, when you do try to make it from scratch at your home, there are quite a few advantages. Besides being budget friendly, you are sure that the ingredients are the BEST. Because nowadays paneer, khoya and other milk products are a little unsafe in this sweltering heat. They might not be as fresh. Also, this is a make-ahead dessert. So you can prepare it and leave it in the refrigerator a day before.

Make your family go wow with these few easy steps.

These days you can also add mango puree to the milk, which is in-season and end up with an amazing twist in the Rasmalai flavour.
