It is hard to resist some of the sweets and one among them is Rasmalai. Generally Ras Malai is made as flat discs or at times round balls in a milk curry, the round balls shaped are also known as jhilmil or chenna in certain towns and cities of India. Today I added kesar (saffron strands) to the preparation and made Kesar Rasmalai. Few ingredients like kesar give both a great taste and color to the dish, so my dish came out with a nice red tinge and with a unique taste. Just like me no one in the family could resist this wonderful dessert. I’m sure you and your family would love this this too, so enjoy with this Kesar Rasmalai Recipe.
