HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE INSTANT RASMALAI RECIPE
Squeeze the excess sugar syrup from the rasgullas by pressing it gently by hand. Do not oversqueeze or else it will crumble. You can also squeeze it with the help of 2 flat spoons or spatulas. Keep the squeezed rasgullas ready.
Heat milk in a pan on medium flame. Once the milk comes to a nice boil, add condensed milk, saffron strands, cardamom powder and mix well. Keep stirring and cook for a minute on a low to medium flame.
Add chopped nuts and give a quick mix. The thickened sweet milk or rabri is now ready.
Add the drained rasgullas to the thickened milk and simmer for 5 minutes on a low flame. Switch off the flame. Instant rasmalai is ready.
Once cooled down, refrigerate the rasmalais atleast for an hour and serve chilled.
NOTES/TIPS
Condensed milk gives a rich and creamy taste to the rasmalai. If you want little more sweet in taste, add sugar as desired.
Always serve rasmalai chilled.
