Namaskar Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Bengali rasgullas are of two types. One made with ararot which tend to be less spongy
but are very delicious in eating and second those which are made without using ararot.
These are very spongy and today we will make the second type of rasgullas .i.e. without using ararot.
For this we have taken
Full cream milk - 1 liter
Lemon - 2
Sugar - 300 grams (1.5 cup)
Firstly boil the milk.
Once the milk starts boiling take it off the flame.
Make milk cool down to at least 80%.
Meanwhile take out lemon juice.
We have got round 2 tbsp lemon juice. Now add 2 tbsp water in it.
Now add ½ tbsp lemon juice in milk at a time.
Mix well.
Milk has started to coagulate.
Milk has coagulated. Water has separated from the milk.
Don’t keep the coagulated milk like this for long.
Strain the milk as soon it gets coagulated.
Take any sieve and cover it with a muslin cloth. Now pour the coagulated milk on the cloth.
All the water will get drained out and only chena will be left.
Pour cold water on top of the chena. This will make the chena cool and washed. Also the savory flavor of lemon juice will get removed as well.
Hold the cloth from all sides and squeeze the chena until all water gets drained out.
Take out chena in a plate.
Now knead the chena until it becomes soft and smooth.
Knead the chena like this for about 3-4 minutes.
Now we will make balls from it.
Meanwhile boil water and sugar.
Add sugar in pressure cooker.
We have taken 1.5 cup sugar so add 4 cup water.
Turn on the gas and let water boil.
Divide chena in equal parts.
Now roll them with your hands giving a round shape.
Like wise prepare all balls.
We are making these rasgullas in pressure cooker because it requires large amount of heat for making rasgullas.
In markets the shop keepers add ritha water in the sugar syrup which results in
sudden forming of form on the surface of syrup and rasgullas gets equal heat.
We will make rasgullas in cooker because there is equal exposure of the heat and rasgullas get cooked well.
Once water starts boiling, add these balls in the water.
Cover with lid and cook on high flame until it simmers (whistle) once.
The moment it simmers reduce the flame to medium so that the pressure remains in the cooker but it doesn’t simmers again.
Cook for 7-8 minutes more.
After 8 minutes turn off the gas, rasgullas are ready now.
We have taken cold water in a utensil. Place the pressure cooker in water to remove all the pressure quickly.
Open the lid.
Rasgullas have become puffy and doubled in size. Now take them out in a bowl.
Now take them out in a bowl.
