I haven't made them at home myself but I do have her recipe bookmarked. If you try it before I do, please do let me know how it worked for you. It is labor intensive.<br /><br />You could also look online for canned rasgullas. Also, please know that my recipe for ras malai is completely inauthentic as I use skim milk and barely sweeten it. Usually ras malai has milk that has been cooked down and sweetened. Some folks mix condensed milk with regular milk as a shortcut. I hope this helps!</i>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-40106322367431857672012-11-28T01:04:46.265-07:002012-11-28T01:04:46.265-07:00Hi, rasgullas aren't available anywhere near m...Hi, rasgullas aren't available anywhere near me.

Is that the way traditional ras malai is served? I've always had the ras malai with milk the consistency of condensed milk....so I was wondering if I've only had un-authentic ones so far.Nabeelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413852017312665746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-58378664005727590752008-03-18T18:25:00.000-06:002008-03-18T18:25:00.000-06:00I'm glad to hear you're using Haldiram's Rasgulla ...I'm glad to hear you're using Haldiram's Rasgulla in your recipe :-).

I loved the meat.<BR/><BR/>My school-mate from Kenya tells me that ostrich farming is a big thing in Kenya as the meat is considered to be a delicacy and is in high demand in the UK, Europe and the US. And then I heard that there are ostrich ranches in the US, too. I never thought I would ever eat ostrich meat.

The traditional ras malai is flatter while these are more rounded.<BR/><BR/>My sister used to make ras malai by starting with whole milk, making the home-made cheese, kneading it into balls and steaming them in the pressure cooker.

In any case, in my mind, nothing can compare with the rasgullas made by Brijwasi's (near Khar (W) station, Bombay). Haldiram's canned rasgullas are small and 'hard' but they undergo a transformation when dunked in milk, after squeezing all that sweet syrup out. They become incredibly soft and spongy.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had the time to call my aunt yet. I keep missing the window within which it's not too late or early for either of us.<BR/><BR/>Hi Me!
