Quick Rasgulla

Rasgulla is an Indian syrupy dessert made from milk.

Ingredients

1. 1-litre milk

2. 2 teaspoon lemon juice

3. 1 cup sugar

4. 3 cup water

5. 2-3 green cardamom

Method

Boil milk in a large pan. When the milk starts to boil, switch off the flame and add lemon juice.  Mix thoroughly.  Milk starts solidifying and lumps of curd cheese can be seen.  Separate these solid lumps from the liquid by using filter or muslin cloth.  Hold the muslin cloth containing curd cheese under running water so as to remove remnants of lemon juice.  Squeeze so as to remove water.  Spread this curd cheese on a plate and knead for 4-5 minutes so as to make it soft.  Make 10-12 small balls of this curd cheese.

In a boiling pan, add water, cardamom powder, and sugar.  When water starts boiling, release curd cheese balls in it and close the pan.  Let the balls boil for 45 minutes on low flame.  Then let it cool.  Store curd cheese balls (rasgullas) along with sugar syrup in a refrigerator.  Serve chilled rasgullas.
