Method:

Step 1: Making the chena

  • At first boil 1.5litres of milk. When the milk will start to boil turn the gas off.
  • Gradually start adding lemon juice to it so it breaks down and Chena forms. Keep stirring lightly so the milk breaks nicely.

Step 2: Straining the Chena

  • Now, take a medium bowl and place mulmul/muslin cloth on top of it.  Gradually pour the chena on top of it so that the water drains off.
  •  Now, wash the chena at least twice so that the sourness subsides. Now squeeze all the water out of the chena so that a nice chena balls shapes up and keep aside for a few minutes. Make sure no water remains.

Step 2. Kneading the Chena

  • Now take the chena ball out on a plate and start kneading well so it smoothens.
  • Now add sooji, arrowroot, ¼ tubes baking powder and pinch of baking soda and knead it with firm hands for at least 10mins so that the mixture is nice and smooth without cracks.

Step 3: Making chena balls

Make small round chena balls out of the chena kneaded without cracks. Now cover it with lid.

Step 4: Making sugar syrup

  • Place a kadhai, pour sugar in it and water about 2cup and stir to mix and make sugar syrup now turn the gas on.
  • We need to refine the sugar syrup as well so add a little milk so the waste starts to float on top and lightly remove the film from top.
  • Now, put the balls in sugar syrup and let it boil for about 10mins on full flame. Rasgullas are almost ready so remove the lid and cook for more 10mins without lid on full flame. Lightly stir.

Step 5: The consistency of Sugar syrup

  • The syrup shouldn’t be too thick. Now add a 1tbswater for the right consistency. When the syrup will start to boil we will keep adding water gradually 3-4times little by little so the syrup is runny not too thick.
  • The temperature should not drop instantly.
  • Now we will cook for 5more mins. Turn the gas off and let it cool off.

Step 6: Adding kewra water(Optional)

Let’s add ½ tbs kewra water which is optional. It gives the syrup a great aroma and the rasgullas a great taste. Mix with light hands. The Ragullas are ready so let it cool down in the chasni only. Cover the lid.

Step 7: Serving up
