Rasagulla
Ingredients:
Milk 1 gallon
Lemon Juice 1 cup
Sugar 1 cup
Method
· Bring one gallon of milk to a boil. When boiling add one cup of either whiter vinegar or lemon juice. Turn the
stove off. Milk should separate into whey and curd.
· Pour into collander, leaving only the panir/curd. Leave curd in strainer until cold and dry. This will take at least an
hour (you can leave it overnight).
· Place curd in food processor and process for one minute. It should be soft but not sticky.
· Form small balls from the curd. Using vinegar usually re- sults in about 80 to 100 rasagollas.
· Bring one cup sugar and 3 cups water to a boil in a pressure cooker. Place 20-25 rasgoolas in syrup. Turn off the
heat to place the cover on the pressure cooker. Turn heat on high. When cooker begins to whistle wait for a
couple of minutes, then turn it off.
· When pressure cooker depressurizes, remove cover and re- peat previous step with the rest of the rasgoolas. Do
not use the same sugar syrup more than once.
