Ingredients

  • 6 Cup Cow’s Milk Full Fat

  • 2 – 3 Tbsp. Vinegar

  • 1 cup Sugar

  • 5 cup Water

  • 1 Tsp All purpose Flour(Maida)

  • 1 Tsp Kewda water

  • For Flower

  • ½ cup Mawa/khoya

  • ¼ cup Icing sugar or ground sugar

Directions

  • In a thick bottom vessel, bring the milk to a boil stirring in between to avoid it sticking to the pan.
  • Lower the heat, add vinegar 1 tbsp. at a time and mix until you see all the milk has curdled (you see a clean greenish liquid, whey remaining). I used 2 tbsp. vinegar.
  •  line a muslin cloth to a strainer. Filter the whey out collecting the curdled milk in the muslin cloth.
  •  Gather the ends together and rinse the chenna under running water to remove the lemon flavors. Squeeze out as much of the excess water as you can and put some heavy weight to reduce the excess water.
  • Just before starting to knead the chenna mix sugar and water in a wide mouthed pan and bring to boil over medium heat. 
  • Remove the chenna from the cloth and place on a flat plate. 
  • Add the flour while kneading.
  • Using the heel of your hand spread flatten and spread out the chenna. Once it is spread out gather to the center and repeat the process until it becomes smooth. About 10 minutes of light kneading is  is required.
  • Divide the dough into equal portions (6-7 ) and form each into a smooth ball. 
  • Slowly slide the rasgullas into the boiling sugar solution. Cover  the pan with a lid and cook over high heat  for 5 minutes and after that medium  high on 5 min than reduce to medium heat for another 5-7  min.
  • Usually 20 minutes is all that it needs.Turn off the heat and let rasgulla cool a little.
  • How to make Flower:
  • Mix khoya and sugar very well.
  • Divide that into two equal parts add red food color into one and yellow food color into other one.
  • Roll that dough onto plastic sheet cut with cookie cutter and garnish with crushed Pistachio.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Don’t overwork the dough to avoid a tough texture.
  • Be gentle when shaping the flowers to preserve their delicate form.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the syrup to your preference.
