Rasmalai:

Rasmalai is a Bengali dessert consisting of soft ‘paneer’ or ‘chhena’ balls (Rasgullaa) immersed in chilled creamy milk.

Ingredients:

8 rasgullas

2 ltre milk

10-12 pistachio (finely chopped)

1 cup sugar free Natura Diet Sugar

½ teaspoon of green cardamom powder

Few saffron threads

Step 3: Put the rasgullas in the milk and keep it in refrigerator. Your rasmalai is ready.
