What is Rasmalai in Indian Cuisine?

This sinfully scrumptious creation originates from eastern India, the home of many, popular milk-based sweets.

Flattened cottage cheese (paneer) dumplings are cooked in sugar syrup and then dunked into thickened, mildly sweet milk. The sugar never overwhelms the palate, thanks to the cardamom powder added to the milk. When serving, slivers of dried pistachio are added as a garnish. Rasmalai served chilled makes for a fabulous dessert. A perfect rasmalai is soft and spongy, never excessively sweet and will have you going back for more!
