RASMALAI
Rasmalai is a pillowy dessert consisting of freshly made balls of cottage cheese, called rasgullas, immersed in sweet saffron- and cardamom-flavored milk. It originated in the Eastern region of the Indian sub-continent. Garnished with nuts and sometimes fresh rose petals, it is one of the most delicate and regal desserts of India.

Steps:
- For the sauce (ras): Heat the milk over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, stirring every minute or so in the beginning and more often as it comes closer to a boil to ensure that the milk doesn't burn at the bottom, until it comes to a boil, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to keep it at a medium boil and cook, stirring frequently, until the milk is reduced by half, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the saffron strands with 1 tablespoon of the hot milk in a small bowl. Mash with the back of the spoon to get the saffron to release its color and turn the milk a deep orange.
- Once the milk has reduced, add the sugar, crushed cardamom and saffron-milk mixture and mix well. Cook, stirring as needed so the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan, until the milk is well flavored, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of the nuts, saving the balance for garnish, and let the milk mixture cool.
- For the paneer balls (rasgullas): Heat the milk over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, stirring every minute or so in the beginning and more often as it comes closer to a boil to ensure that the milk doesn't burn at the bottom, until it comes to a boil, about 10 minutes.
- As soon as it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and add 1/2 cup of ice to reduce the temperature of the milk. Add the lemon or lime juice 1 tablespoon at a time until the milk is curdled and the solids separate from the whey. The whey will turn greenish-yellow. Add another 1/2 cup of ice. This stops the cooking and keeps the paneer soft.
- Line a strainer with folded-over cheesecloth or muslin and set over a large bowl. Pour the mixture into the strainer and let the water drain out. Pour a cup of cold water over the paneer and drain. Take the ends of the cloth and squeeze out the excess water very well. Hang the cloth to further drain out water from the paneer for about 30 minutes. The paneer should be crumbly yet a little moist.
- Add the paneer to a food processer and process until the crumbles become a ball, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, you can knead it with the heel of your palm, but this will take 10 to 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 12 equal balls, making sure there are no cracks. (A kitchen scale isn't necessary but is helpful.) You can keep them round or gently flatten them out to disks about 1 inch high. If you see any cracks, smooth them over with wet fingers. Cover with a damp cloth.
- For the sugar syrup: Combine the sugar and 7 cups water in a wide Dutch oven and bring to a rolling boil. Add the prepared paneer balls one by one so the temperature doesn't drop suddenly. Gently shake the pot, lower the heat slightly to keep the mixture at a low boil, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Do not open the lid in between. Gently stir the balls, cover and cook for another 5 minutes. The balls should almost double in size. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool naturally, 20 to 30 minutes. The balls will sink in the water.
- Once cooled, drain the balls. Very gently squeeze out the syrup from the balls and transfer them to the prepared ras (saffron milk). Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours, to let the balls absorb the milk and become divine! Garnish with the reserved nuts and serve cold.
RAS MALAI
Ras Malai is cheese dumplings in cream sauce. This is a popular Indian dessert and takes a long time to prepare the traditional way. I came up with some shortcuts and ended up with this recipe which tastes exactly the same as traditional Ras Malai.

- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Stir 1 cup sugar, the cardamom, rose water, and saffron into the half and half and simmer another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Drizzle the cooled mixture over the cheese balls. Sprinkle the almonds and pistachios over the cheese balls to serve.

RAAS MALAI -- IT'S WHAT TO DO WITH FRESHLY SPOILED MILK!
A Pakistani/Indian dessert that uses primarily only milk and sugar! It's a great way to use milk that has *just* spoiled (slightly sour-- not nasty moldy!). Works perfectly fine with fresh milk too. Cooking time includes the refrigeration time.

Steps:
- Pour milk into pot and squeeze 1/2 lemon into the milk. Stir, and let it come to a boil.
- Let it cook for about 1/2 hour on medium-low heat to allow the curds and whey to separate.
- Pour the contents of the pot through a very fine sieve, or a linen cloth.
- After squeezing out excess liquid, the curds should have the consistency of slightly curmbly play-doh. If they are softer than that, it may help to refrigerate the "curd-dough" for a few hours.
- Mix in the flour with the curds, and make then into ball that are 1 in.- 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Pour 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup milk, cracked cardomoms and mix in 4 tablespoons sugar in the pot and keep it on low heat.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, carefully place your curd balls in the the sugar liquid, and let them absorb the mixture for about 15 minutes. The pot's lid should be slightly ajar.
- Pour in more 1/2-3/4 cup of milk into the pot, and stir. Take a taste, and add more sugar if needed.
- Add rose essence and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Serve cool!

Steps:
- Heat 8 cups of the milk in a large kettle until it just boils. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside for 5 minutes. Line a large colander with a triple layer of cheesecloth and pour the curdled milk through. Drain for 30 minutes. Lift up the cloth's edges and gently twist, wringing out as much liquid as you can.
- Turn curds out onto a smooth surface and knead for 5 minutes. Add the semolina and continue to knead until the curds are smooth and your hands feel greasy, 3 to 4 more minutes. Form the mixture into 12 balls of equal size. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of the sugar with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 5 minutes. Put the cheese balls and cardamom into the pan. Simmer uncovered until the balls swell and become spongy, about 1 hour. Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and discard the syrup and cardamom. Place the balls in another saucepan with the remaining milk and allow them to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the balls from the milk and set them aside. Place the saucepan with the milk over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally so it does not boil over. Simmer until the milk is reduced to 2 cups, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining sugar and the rose water and return the cheese balls to the milk. Cover and refrigerate. To serve, divide the balls between 4 bowls, spoon some of the milk syrup around them and sprinkle with the pistachios.

- To make rasmalai you will need 12 to 15 rasgullas. Either you can buy them from stores or make them at home.
- Take each rasgulla and with a spatula apply pressure, so the excess sugar syrup is removed from it. You can also press the rasgulla in your palms. Be gentle and don't apply too much of pressure. As then the rasgullas will break. Do this with all the rasgullas.
