Hi all, Today i tried out Bengali Rasagulla which is my favourite sweet but bought out in a very simple
method, making it using pressure cooker.
So wanted to share the simple ways of making it with every one today. It was really yummy and i wish
every one tries this and your creation !!!

 Simple Rasagulla

Spice Root - Simple Rasagullas
Ingredients
  • Milk - 2 cups
  • Sugar - 1 1/2 cup
  • Lemon juice - 1/4cup
  • Water - 4 cups

Method

Paneer:
  • Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed pan and make sure it does not burn by stirring occasionally.
  • Mix lemon juice in half cup water
  • Add this lemon juice gradually when the milk boils. You can notice the curd separating now switch off the heat.
  • Drain the curd completely using a muslin cloth or cheese cloth. Wrap the curd in the muslin cloth, rince the curd well in cold water to remove the sourness of lemon juice and squeeze well.
  • Taking the right amount of water from the paneer is the important part of the recipe. To take the excess water after squeezing put the wrap paneer under a heavy bottom pan and leave it for an hour.
  • Once the paneer is drained, place the paneer on dry flat surface and knead the paneer for 4-5mins well until it forms a smooth soft dough

Rasagulla:
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal parts and make into a smooth balls.
  • Apply some pressure to make balls and then release when forming the ball.
  • Take a pressure cook and add water along with sugar, keep it on a medium high heat and bring them to boil.
  • Make sure the pressure cooker you are going to use is large enough to fit in the cooked rasagullas as they will double in volume while cooking in sugar syrup.
  • Now add the panner balls into the pressure cooker and close the cooker, after u see the steam coming out, turn the heat to medium and cook for 7-8mins.
  • Off the heat and wait until the entire pressure goes out before you open the cooker.
  • Rasagullas are ready and will be spongy, after it is refrigrated rasagullas become soft.
  • Serve it chill.
