Total Time1 hour
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.
