Ekadashi Ras Malai

Cook along · 10 steps

Method

1. 1

   Boil ½ liter cow's milk in a pan. Add 5 tbsp sugar and saffron strands soaked in milk.

2. 2

   Simmer on low flame until milk reduces to half (rabri consistency). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Grind 2 tbsp raisins into a fine powder.

   

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup grated fresh paneer, raisin powder, water chestnut flour, and ¼ tsp cardamom powder.

5. 5

   Knead the mixture with light hands for 2-3 minutes until smooth, like making rasgulla.

   

6. 6

   Make small balls from the mixture and press them slightly to form flat dumplings. Make 7-8 dumplings.

7. 7

   Add 1 tsp cardamom powder to the rabri, mix, and turn off the flame.

8. 8

   Heat oil in a pan. Fry dumplings on low flame until light golden from both sides. Do not color them too much as they will cook further.

   

9. 9

   Reheat the rabri. Add the fried dumplings and cook for 2-3 minutes so they absorb the rabri well.

    Garnish with finely chopped almonds and pistachios. Offer to Lord Jagannath with tulsi leaves and serve.
