Rasmalai

Ingredients:

Egg - 1
Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
Milk powder - 1 cup
Maida - 1 teaspoon
Fresh milk - 4 cups or 1 litter
Sugar - according to your taste, I add usually 3 hipped tablespoon
Crashed Cardamom pods - 1
Vanilla essence - half teaspoon
Pistachios & Almonds (chopped) - To garnish

Preparation:

1. In a deep bottomed vessel add sugar with milk and crashed cardamom , keep the milk on law flame and let it be boiled.

2. In a mixing bowl mix all dry ingredients together...maida,milk powder,and baking powder.

3. Now, add in the egg(which is beaten lightly), vanilla essence and knead into a smooth dough. Don't knead too much, 1st it will be sticking to your hand but if you keep it for 3/4 minutes , the dough won't stick to your hand then.

4. Ball the dough to small shapes(as it will rise when cooked in milk). Now add immediately these balls into the boiled milk & let them be cooked. The balls will tend to swell up , Lower the heat to simmer.Cook the milk with the balls for another 8- 10 minutes. Shake the vessel lightly in between so you won't burn the dish.

5. After 10 minutes check a ball, If its cooked from inside, turn off the heat. If not, cook for another few minutes. Now, turn off the heat & let it cool.

6. Serve chilled & garnish with some pistachios and almonds before serving.

Enjoy :)
