Rasmalai

dutch_paki · Aug 3rd, 2006, 06:08 PM

Hey guys.

I want to make rasmalai, but from scratch.
I know its possible to buy a sachet from any pakistani store and make them ( all you have to do is add milk

) But thats not really a challenge plus its not completely something I want.

So all help would be sweet.

1 cup powdered milk
1 egg
1 tsp. oil
1 tsp. baking powder

Syrup:
1 liter milk
6 tbs. sugar
1 green cardamom (Chhoti Ilaichi)
1 tbs. chopped pistachio (Pistay)
1/2 tsp. Kewra essence
Mix together the ingredients into a dough and form into small oval, slightly flattened balls. Meanwhile boil the milk with sugar and ilaichi seeds. When the milk starts to boil add the malai balls. When they start to swell up lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes. Just before removing from heat add kewra essence. Garnish with pista.
Chill and serve.

Serving: 24 pcs. for 8 to 10 persons

umm is it very silly to ask for step by step directions including teh temperature and time? I have a history of burning things in the oven if I dunno the exact time it's going to take!

redroses · Aug 7th, 2006, 06:26 AM

Khumar · Aug 7th, 2006, 05:13 PM

i think u hv to bake the ricotta cheese one

The ricotta cheese ras malai is really yummy and simple. Just get a large container of ricotta cheese (whole milk pollyo is good). Put entire can into a bowl and add sugar to taste. THen spread the ricotta cheese in a baking pan and bake at about 350 degrees until it is light brown and the water has dried out. Once it cooks let it cool, and then cut into squares. Now for the milk you can use either a few cans of evaporated milk but I like cooking it myself. Just pour a gallon of whole milk into a pot and add a little bit of sugar and a few alaichi/cardamom. Bring it to a boil, and then lower heat and let it cook down to about 3/4 gallon or even thicker as you like it. Remember to stir often! Add Baked Ricotta to the milk and keep in refrigerator few hours and serve. Wallah!

Oh I want some ras malai right now.

Brit Chick · Aug 11th, 2006, 04:23 PM
