Shortcut rasmalai recipe that’s super quick and easy. The rasmalai recipe in this post has egg and milk powder in it so if you prefer a different version, check out my 10-min rasmalai recipe using rasgulla. Here is a recipe I have been dying to post. It’s from my mother-in-law and its the most easy and quick rasmalai recipe ever. Promise!
But wait, what is rasmalai? Traditionally, it’s sweetened, flattened or round balls of chennaย (fresh Indian cottage cheese) soaked in milk cream. Sounds yummy? That’s because it is! Now this recipe below throws tradition to the wind and uses a very interesting shortcut method to make rasmalai. Read on to learn more.
So in case you want to celebrate the holidays with some Indian dessert, whose sweetness level you can control, then this one is for you. Did I mention its super easy?
As I mentioned, the recipe does use eggs, which would probably make the inventors of rasmalai turn in their graves, but the taste is not compromised one bit and there is no ‘eggy’ smell at all.
