Rasgullas made from Cow’s Milk

Rasgullas are a popular Indian sweet made from cow’s milk. They are soft, spongy, and light-as-air balls dipped in a sweet sugar syrup. The key ingredient in Rasgulla is chenna, a type of fresh cottage cheese made from cow’s milk.

Here’s a simple recipe for making Rasgullas from cow’s milk:

1. Prepare chenna: Boil cow’s milk, and curdle it using lemon juice or vinegar. Strain the mixture using a muslin cloth to obtain the chenna.
2. Knead chenna: Mix chenna with a little semolina or all-purpose flour. Knead the mixture until it becomes smooth.
3. Make balls: Divide the dough into small portions, and roll them between your palms to make smooth, round balls.
4. Prepare sugar syrup: Boil a mixture of sugar and water in a large pot. Optionally, add cardamom pods for flavor.
5. Cook the chenna balls: Gently add the chenna balls to the boiling sugar syrup. Cook them until they double in size and become spongy.
6. Cool and serve: Remove rasgullas from the syrup, let them cool, and then serve or refrigerate before serving.

Using cow’s milk in this recipe ensures that the resulting chenna has a delicate texture, making the rasgullas soft and spongy. Enjoy this traditional Indian dessert made from cow’s milk!
