Wish
you all a very Happy New Year !!!
As
the new year is born, I think a delicious sweet is the most suitable one to
post here today!. I am going to welcome the New Year with Ras malai! Ras Malai
is a classical North Indian dessert and whole milk is the main ingredient here.
Ras malai is being prepared with so many recipes. But I am sure that this is
the tastiest recipe among all of them!!

Ingredients
needed:
Whole
milk powder- 1 ¼ cup
Plain
flour- 1 sp
Baking
powder- 1 tsp
Oil-
1 tbsp
Big
egg-1
Sugar- 1 cup
Saffron- a few
Cardamom powder- 6
Chopped pistachio- 2 tbsp.
For
the milk:
Whole
milk powder- 20 tsp
Little
warm water- 4 cups
Procedure:
Sieve
the milk powder with the plain flour and baking powder thrice.
Add
the oil and the egg to make a smooth dough.
This
comes with practice.
The
dough must be shiny and soft.
Then
make small balls.
Cover
them with a clean cloth.
To
prepare the milk, mix the whole milk powder with the warm water thoroughly.
It
can be filtered to get clear milk without any crumbs.
Heat
it on medium fire.
When
the milk starts to simmer, start to drop the balls five at a time.
When
the first batch starts to float on top after being cooked, the second batch can
be added.
Thus
all the balls must be finished.
Then
grind the cardamoms with a spoonful of sugar and add this to the simmering Ras
malai with the saffron threads.
Add
the sugar.
Mix
well.
When
the Ras malai starts simmering again, put off the fire.
Pour
the ras Malai in to a glass bowl and sprinkle the chopped pistachio
on
top.
Chill
it in a refrigerator and serve.
NB:
More sugar can be added according to the tastebuds.
