Rasmalai

submitted by food.chat

1 quart whole milk (for chenna)
lemon juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons sugar
3 cups drinking water
1 tablespoon cardamom powder
5 almonds, diced very thinly
6 saffron strands

Sour the whole milk with lemon juice. Discard all the water (whey) and put
solids (curds) in cheese cloth and press it with heavy weight. After 1/2
hour take out the weight and knead the chenna very properly. Make small
balls of the size of dime. TO MAKE SUGAR SYRUP. In a sauce pan boil 3 cups
of water and sugar together. Then it starts to boil, drop in the chenna
balls. On medium heat cover the pan and let it simmer for 1/2 an hour. If
you have Indian style pressure cooker keep the lid closed with whistle on
for 15 minutes on a VERY LOW HEAT(extremely important). switch off the
heat.Frequently stir it so that the chenna balls don't stick to each
other. In another pan boil heavy cream, 2 cups of whole milk and saffron
strands. Add 5 tablespoon of sugar. Keep simmering for 20 minutes until
the milk becomes thickened, taking care not to scorch. Now take out the
chenna balls from the sugar syrup. While the whipping cream and whole
milk is still simmering, drop in the chenna balls in it and simmer for
another 15 minutes on low heat. Afterward, turn off the heat. Place the
milk rasamalai in a bowl, sprinkle cardamom powder and almond flakes and
refrigerate. Serve cold.
