Rasmalai is a classic Indian dessert which has discs made of milk powder, eggs and few other ingredients and is cooked in a sweet, saffron and cardamom flavored milk. The discs soak up the creamy milk and turns soft, juicy and delicious. It is served chilled and garnished with nuts.
Hello everyone! So here I am going to post my first recipe of “the most famous RASMALAI”. I am so nervous, about this that my hands are shaking when I am preparing this post. Hope this new chapter in my life brings me lots of success and lots of amazing readers. Hope I can keep posting quality content for you guys and really hope that I will have your support throughout.
So let’s get to the Rasmalai recipe now. I know, this is a very basic and a very easy one. But I have to admit that this was one dessert which never came out perfect for me until my besty Sonia handed over her “never fail” recipe. All this time either the malai balls became rubbery or hard or too soft. My big brother is a big time fan of this king of sweets and for the same reason he was the one who used to judge the quality of it.
He had tasted all of my flop versions and finally when he tasted the one with the new recipe he gave me triple thumps up. He said it came out perfect!!! I was the happiest person in the world, finally I got it right!😊. So as a token of appreciation to Sonia, I am going to inaugurate my blog with her version of everyones favorite Rasmalai. Enjoy! 🙂

No dear, egg is necessary.
🙁
Lovely! Can i make the same version for my rasgullas too?
I have been trying the rasgullas and rasmalais since ages, but working with chenna is just disappointing as i fail to get its texture right. Kindly help me with the rasgullas too.
No Wardah, this recipe won’t work for rasgulla. To make rasgulla it is best to use chenna. I will try to post a recipe soon. 🙂
Oh, but i find it very hard to make it with chenna. Pleaaaaase post the rasgulla recipe soon! I will be waiting in shaa Allah. And make it easy and convenient if can, in shaa Allah.
Will do in shaa Allah.
Normal milk & milk powder which we get in kerala will do for this recipe other than full cream milk & powder?
It is best to use Nido milk powder. No other milk powder works better than that.
Hii thank you for the recipe, it’s beautiful. Is it a tbsp of APF or tsp aa in the YouTube I feel it’s a tbsp
You’re welcome!:) It is a tsp of all purpose flour.
