Ras Malai - A delicacy my wife married me for!




My the then would be, when came to know that I can prepare Rasmalai(offcourse I bragged about it to impress), she didn't think anything else and all she knew was - she had to get married to me! At least for the sake of Rasmalai. And then within first 6 months of our marriage every week there used to come a taunt, "aaj sweetshop se rasmalai le aana, khane ka bada mann kar raha hai. Mujhe toh aata nahi banana. Kaun banayega mere liye.". And then one fine day I pulled up my socks and thought to put a stop to this torture. This is the outcome of it. For all those men who can take pain to impress their wives, would be's, girlfriends....here you go. :)


Ingredients:
  • Milk                         – 1 ½ Liters
  • Condensed milk        – ½ can(Optional) 
  • Sugar                       – ½ cup
  • Cardamom powder   – 1 tea spoon
  • Pistachios                - 10 Pieces
  • Almond                    - 10 Pieces 
Preparation:
1. Take around 10 rosgullas. Please refer to my earlier post to prepare Roshogolla.
2. Squeeze them gently to get rid of the extra syrup.
3. Cut them into halves and keep aside.
(This is optional)

4. In a heavy bottomed vessel heat the milk by stirring it continuously until it becomes half.
5. Add sugar, condensed milk and cook for another few minutes.
6. Add the pieces of rosgulla and cook for another 2 minutes.
7. Add the cardamom powder and mix properly.
8. Take it out in a serving dish and garnish with chopped almonds and pistachios and refrigerate for few hours until chilled,
9. And the rasmalai is ready to be served.

To all the readers - word of caution. This might increase the frequency of taunts. :) :P
