Making rabri. Add 3 cups milk to a heavy bottom pot ( ¾ liter milk). Bring it to a boil on a medium flame. Add saffron/ kesar and keep stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.
Add sugar, I used organic sugar. You can use white sugar as well.
Adjust the flame as desired to suit your convenience. Do not use high flame milk may overflow the pot. Keep stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, moving aside the malai/cream that comes on top. Switch off when the milk gets condensed to half the quantity.
Make chenna. While the rabri is getting done, bring 5 cups milk to a boil in another pot for making chenna/paneer. When the milk is boiling, then add lemon juice or vinegar.
Ingredients
12 rasgullas
1 tin milk maid condensed milk (392 grams)
2 cups milk
⅛ Tsp. Green cardamom powder / elaichi
Few saffron strands
Chopped Pistachios and almonds for garnish

- You can use any ready made rasgulla. Squeeze the syrup out of the balls. Do not press them too hard, they will break. Make sure that the syrup is extracted from the balls else they will not absorb the milk. Set these aside.

Rasmalai can be made in 2 ways. I am sharing both the methods.
- Original way making it from scratch – involves making chenna/paneer, shaping to discs – boiling them in sugar syrup, condensing the milk to a creamy texture called rabri. Towards the end dunking them in the rabri.
- Quick easy rasmalai – use the store bought rasgulla like the Halidram’s tin, a condensed milk tin and then just squeeze out the syrup from rasgulla and dunk them in the simmered diluted condensed milk.

Ingredients
1 ¼ liter full fat milk (5 cups) for chenna
¾ liter milk (3 cups) for rabri
2 to 3 tsp lemon juice or vinegar (mix with 5 tsp water)
1 cup sugar for syrup
2 to 3 generous pinches of cardamom/ elaichi
½ cup sugar for rabri
handful of pista almonds
pinch of saffron/kesar
Instructions
Condense the milk for rabri – Add 3 cups milk to a heavy bottom pot and boil. Add saffron and sugar when the milk comes to a boil. Stir every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent boiling. When a layer of cream forms, just move it aside. Boil until the milk thickens and reduces to half the quantity. Set this aside.
Make chenna - boil 5 cups milk in a pot. Add diluted lemon juice to the milk and stir until the milk curdles completely. Add more lemon or vinegar if needed.
Add ice cubes to the pot and drain in a muslin cloth. Squeeze off excess whey and make a knot. Hang it for about 45 minutes to 1 hour for the excess whey to drain off.
Add the chenna to a plate and knead well for about 3 minutes until smooth.
Make 12 equal balls and flatten them. Set these aside.
Making sugar syrup - Bring 3 cups of water to a boil with 1 cup sugar. Stir and add cardamom powder.
Add the discs to boiling syrup and cook covered for about 7 to 8 minutes on a moderately high flame.
Assembling Rasmalai - Take off the discs to a plate and cool them. Squeeze them gently in between your palms to remove sugar syrup.
Add these to the rabri. If you wish you can also simmer for 1 to 2 minutes in the rabri. Garnish with nuts. Chill and serve it
