cook rasmalai for 15-20 minutes on high flame (so that chashni keeps boiling). until then let us cut the dry fruits. cut cashew nuts into 7-8 pieces. cut almonds into thin strips. until then let us cut the dry fruits. it has been 5 minutes since rasmalai has been cooking and they have doubled in size. but we need to cook them for another 10-12 minutes. in this way we can check rasmalai from time to time. keep the flame at a high level. milk has also starting to thicken so lets thicken it some more. leave 40 percent of milk,evaparate 60 percent of it. milk has turned thick with only 40% of it left. add 1/4 cup sugar,cashewnuts,almonds and chironji. turn off the gas. milk required for rasmalai is prepared. it has been 18 minutes an dthe rasmalai is cooked. so turn off the gas. the rasmalai has turend out to be very spongy. as rasmalai cools off we will put it in thick milk.
put some cardamom powder in milk. saffron can also be added to milk which brings color to it and gives a good aroma. elaichi also leaves an awesome aroma. rasmalai has cooled so put in milk. take out rasmalai from chasni (squeeze out chasni) then put it in milk. rasmalai has bee prepared delicious rasmalai is ready. this rasmalai has been prepared from 1 litre milk turned into chena. we can make 12 rasmalai with the given amount of chena. rasmalai can be kept in the fridge and eaten for 2 days. normally it is eatable only upto a day. if you want your rasmalai to last for many days then don’t put them in milk. put them in chasni and keep in the fridge.
