Raas Malai Its What To Do With Freshly Spoiled Milk Recipes

RAAS MALAI -- IT'S WHAT TO DO WITH FRESHLY SPOILED MILK!

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:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Blend the ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl with a hand mixer; divide the mixture between 12 muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Arrange the cheese balls onto a dessert platter.
• While the cheese bakes, pour the half and half into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat; simmer 10 minutes. 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.
