🇮🇳 Indian

Rasgulla are soft, spongy Indian cheese dumplings soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup — light, mildly sweet, and utterly melt-in-your-mouth. Made from fresh homemade chenna (paneer) and simmered until pillowy, these syrupy treats are perfect warm or chilled and make a delightful finish to any meal.

Method

1

Pour the Full-Fat Cow's Milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

2

Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, remove from heat, and slowly add the Lemon Juice a little at a time while gently stirring; the milk should curdle and the whey will separate.

3

Line a sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth and carefully pour the curdled milk through it to strain off the whey; rinse the curds briefly under cold running water to remove any lemony tang.

4

Gather the edges of the cloth and hang or press the curds for about 20–30 minutes to drain off excess liquid — you want the chenna to be moist but not dripping.

5

Transfer the drained chenna to a clean plate and knead it briskly for 5–7 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable; divide into equal portions and roll into smooth, crack-free balls.

6

In a wide saucepan combine the White Sugar and Water and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves to make a light, rolling syrup.

7

Reduce the syrup to a gentle boil and carefully drop the chenna balls into the simmering syrup, making sure they have room to expand; cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, occasionally turning gently so they cook evenly and puff up.

8

When the rasgullas have doubled in size and feel springy, turn off the heat and let them cool in the syrup to absorb flavor; chill before serving for best texture and taste.
