Strawberry Rasgulla
Servings: 6 Serving
Ingredients
- – 1 liter milk
- – 1/4 cup lemon juice or vinegar
- – 1 cup sugar
- – 3 cups water
- – 1/2 cup fresh strawberries pureed (strained to remove seeds)
- – 1/2 teaspoon BOS Natural Red Color for vibrant red color adjust amount based on desired color intensity
- – 1/2 teaspoon rose water optional, for extra aroma
- – 4-5 strands of saffron optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chenna:
- – In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil.
- – Once boiling, reduce the heat and add lemon juice or vinegar gradually while stirring gently.
- – The milk will curdle, separating into curds (chenna) and whey (greenish water).
- – Turn off the heat once all the milk has curdled.
- – Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth or muslin cloth and strain the curdled milk.
- – Rinse the chenna under cold water to remove any trace of lemon juice or vinegar taste.
- – Tie the cloth with chenna and hang it for 30 minutes to drain excess water.
- Prepare the Sugar Syrup:
- – In a wide pan, combine sugar, water, and fresh strawberry puree.
- – Bring to a boil until the sugar completely dissolves.
- – Add BOS Natural Red Color and rose water (if using) to the syrup.
- – Reduce the heat and let the syrup simmer while you prepare the rasgulla.
- Make the Rasgulla:
- – After 30 minutes, untie the chenna and knead it well until smooth and soft (about 8-10 minutes).
- – Divide the kneaded chenna into small lemon-sized balls and gently flatten them slightly.
- Cook the Rasgulla:
- – Gently slide the chenna balls into the simmering strawberry syrup.
- – Cover and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes without uncovering or stirring in between.
- – The rasgullas will puff up and increase in size.
- Serve:
- – Let the rasgullas cool in the syrup for 1-2 hours.
- – Garnish with saffron strands if desired.
- – Serve chilled or at room temperature.
