Mango Rasmalai Recipe
Ingredients:
• 2 fresh mangoes
• 1/2 cup paneer cubes
• 1/2 cup suji
• 1 litre milk
• 2–3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp milk powder
• Little kesar
• 1/2 tsp elaichi powder
• Dry fruits for garnish
Method:
- Peel and chop your fresh mangoes. Remove all the pulp and then blend the mango pieces with the paneer cubes until you get a smooth puree.
- Transfer this puree into a pan and add the sugar to it along with a few strands of the kesar and 1/2 cup of suji.
- Add a little milk to the pan as well, and cook this mixture properly until it becomes solid like a kneadable dough. Ensure all the ingredients are incorporated well and the sugar has melted.
- Transfer to a plate and let it cool slightly. Now make small Rasgulla balls from the mixture.
- Steam the balls for 10–15 mins until soft and spongy.
- In another pan add 1 litre milk. Add milk powder, elaichi powder and little kesar.
- Boil and cook until milk becomes thick and creamy.
- Add little mango puree and mix well.
- Now add steamed mango balls into the milk. Mix gently and chill before serving.
- Garnish with dry fruits and serve chilled.
