Store-bought Soft Rasmalai Recipe at Home

homemade milk sweet rasmalai recipe with chena
recipe of Store bought rasmalai made at home

 'Chena' are curds or cheese curds, originating from the Indian subcontinent, made from buffalo or regular cow milk by adding food acids such as lemon juice and straining. It is very similar or analogous to cottage cheese. Rasmalai is a very popular Bengali delicacy is prepared from cottage cheese patties cooked in sugar syrup and soaked in rich and creamy thickened milk, flavoured with saffron and cardamom powder. 

Usually I get 8-9 balls from 500ml of milk but of course they are smaller in size. You can make large balls of rasmalai of 4-5 balls of your choice.

Preparation of Chena Balls:

1. Boil milk in a heavy bottom pan. Once it comes to a boil, add 1/4th cup of water to lower the temperature of the milk a bit. Start adding lemon juice and stir at regular intervals, till milk curdles.
* The rasmalai balls are nothing but milk fat so you need to use full fat milk for making this sweet. So, low fat or fat free milk will not give you soft rasmalai.

2. Using a strainer drain the water and collect the chena. Rinse it under water so that there is no trace of lemon juice in it.

* How to rinse chena?

Take a bowl, cover it with thin cotton cloth/muslin cloth. Put the chena on top of the cloth. Drain the chena with water gradually. Don't overflow. Rinse excess lemon juice.

Leave it in the strainer for 10-15 minutes. Then squeeze out remaining water by slowly pressing with hands.
*Leave a moist chena but not a very wet one. The chena dough must be soft and moist.

Add 1 tbsp of cornflour powder and start mashing the chena with your palm, till it’s smooth. Mash it constantly for 10 minutes using your palm. Don't cut the time. 
Once it’s smooth, make small round balls out of it. 
* Add more cornflour if the round shape is not smooth and perfect, or it gets cracked.

 I prefer flattening the round shape by pressing it gently with palm.

 3. How to make sugar syrup?
Heat 1 cup sugar and 3 cups water in a wide pan and wait till it comes to a full boil.
*The syrup is not of a very thick consistency.  If you feel the sugar syrup is getting thicker and balls are sticking to the bottom of the pan, then keep adding little water constantly, unless you attain a thin syrup consistency.

Drop the balls in boiling sugar syrup and cook for 15 mins. The balls will double in size.
* The sugar syrup should be boiling and hot or the chena balls will turn out of shape.

Once the balls are cooked, let them cool down to room temperature.

Ingredients of Rasmalai Milk :


1. Full Fat Milk - 4 cups/500ml
2. Sugar - 1/2 cup or as per taste
3. Chopped Dry Fruits
4. Saffron Strands
5. Cardamom - 3 pcs
6. Rose Water - 1 tsp (optional)
Preparation of Rasmalai Saffron Milk:

 1. Follow in details my Prepare Rasmalai Saffron Milk.

2. Squeeze the excess sugar syrup after cooling the chena balls, dip it in warm milk and flip on both sides.
Refrigerate it overnight and consume, so that the rasmalai balls soak all the flavoured milk.

Spongy Choco-Vanil Marble Cake Recipe

Spongy Marble Floral Cake at Home The first print references to marble cake begin appearing in the last quarter of the 19th century. One popular variation of this recipe during Victorian times was “Harlequin cake”. A marble cake is a cake with a streaked or mottled appearance (like marble) achieved by very lightly blending light and dark batter. It can be a mixture of vanilla and chocolate cake, in which case it is mainly vanilla, with streaks of chocolate. Other possibilities are strawberry or other fruit flavors, or (particularly in marbled coffee cakes) cinnamon or other spices. Ingredients : 1. Eggs - 4 and 2 yolks 2. Sugar - 2 cups 3. Refined oil - 1 cup 4. Milk - 1 cup 5. All purpose flour (Maida) - 3 cups 6. Baking powder - 1 tbsp 7. Vanilla essence - 1 tsp 8. Coco Powder - 3 tbsp Preparation : 1.
