Instructions to make Rasmalai soft and sweet recipe:
- Boil milk in a heavy bottom pan. TIP - Always use full cream milk to make paneer. The fat content in full milk makes the best paneer.
- When the milk becomes frothy and bubbles start to form on top that's the time to add vinegar/lemon juice. TIP - Wait for milk to get bubbly before adding the acid. This will result in perfect chenna/paneer.
- Pour in vinegar/lemon juice.
- Slowly mix vinegar/lemon juice in the milk and milk will curdle.
- When the whey/liquid in curdle milk turns to pale green in colour, take the pan off the flame.
- Meanwhile line a strainer with muslin cloth.
- Quickly strain paneer. TIP - Letting it sit will result in hard and chewy rasmalai.
- Wash paneer under cold water to get rid of vinegar/lemon juice taste. TIP - This will wash away all the taste of acid from paneer.
- Squeeze paneer and allow the water to drain
- You can also hang paneer/chenna for 20- 30 minutes until the water stops dripping. TIP - This step is important. If water is not drained well from paneer, rasmalai pieces will start to disintegrate in sugar syrup.
- Remove paneer from cloth. Paneer should feel crumbly but moist.
- Start kneading the paneer like a dough.
- Use your whole palm and fingers to knead paneer. It will take somewhere between 9-10 minutes to knead it into a smooth dough. TIP - Knead paneer with your hands. Have tried kneading it in a food processor but the result was not satisfactory.
- Take paneer dough in your hand.
- Squeeze it tight. It should not feel sticky at all. In fact it should feel creamy and roll smoothly in between your palms. TIP - Squeeze and press in between your palms couple of times before rolling it like a ball. This will prevent cracks.
- Gently press in between your palms and flatten the balls. Set it aside and repeat the process with rest of the paneer.
- Combine water and sugar in a pan. Add essence of your choice. Bring it a boil.
- Slowly add flattened paneer pieces to the syrup. Do not overcrowd the pan.TIP - Make sure there is enough room for the paneer balls to expand during boiling. Leave some space for the pieces to float. Reduce the flame to MEDIUM LOW.
- Slowly the pieces will start to float up.
- When all the pieces float to the surface..
- Cover the pan with the lid and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes on a medium low flame.
- Flatten paneer pieces will swell in size. Take it off the flame and allow it to cool
- When comfortable to touch, take a flattened paneer piece and squeeze out all the syrup. Press gently.
- When all the syrup is pressed out, paneer pieces will come back to it's original shape. Set it aside.
- PREPARING THE SYRUP - Onto the final step. Assemble ingredients.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add milk and bring it to a boil. Add in sugar, saffron strands and milk powder.
- Whisk until well blended.
- Continue boiling at a medium flame stirring continuously. Stir in thinly sliced nuts and mix. Keep stirring and boil the milk for 20-25 minutes. Milk will thicken to a desired consistency - neither to thick nor too liquid-y.
- Carefully drop in flattened paneer balls.
- Allow the flatten paneer balls to simmer in hot syrup for 1-2 minutes.
- Take it off the flame, cover and let the paneer pieces soak in the syrup.
