Instructions

  • First mix curd and lemon juice together in a bowl. Bring the milk to a roaring boil; when it starts to foam and rise, reduce the flame to medium and add curd-lemon juice mix and give it a stir. The milk will begin to curdle and get separated from the whey. When all the milk is curdled and only a clear whey remains, turn off the heat. The curdled milk is the cottage cheese, allow the milk to rest in the whey water for a few minutes. Spread a muslin cloth and drain the curdled milk. Now bring the edges of the cloth together and immerse it in a bowl filled with ice cubes and cold water. Slightly rub the bag Squeeze water well and tie the bag. Now on a flat plate, first place the sack, then a tawa and finally some heavy weight. Let it sit for 1 hour. Remove the paneer from the muslin cloth and place it on a flat surface. Scramble and knead using your palm for 10 minutes. Make them to equal-sized balls by rolling in your hand, making sure there are no cracks on the ball surface. In a pressure cooker boil sugar and water. When bubbles starts to form, add Cardamom powder, clove and paneer balls slowly. Cover the cooker and pressure cook for 1 whistle. After a whistle, reduce the flame to low and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure come down. Once the pressure is completely released, open the cooker. Replace the rasgullas carefully to another bowl, cool down completely. Refrigerate for 2 hours minimum before serving.
