Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Resting time: 30 ~ 40 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 17 ~ 20 rasagullas depends upon the size.
Ingredients:
4 cups of milk
¼ cup of warm water
2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
4 cups of water
1 ½ cups of sugar
2 tbsp all purpose flour/ maida (optional)
Method:
For Paneer
- In a heavy bottom pan, bring milk to boil.
- Add lemon water mixture and mix well.
- Milk starts to curdle, cook it for 4 to 5 minutes until yellowish whey seen and curd separates completely.
- Drain the curdled mixture using a cheese cloth to separate curd and whey.
- Hold it under the running water for a minute. Squeeze water from the paneer and hang it to remove excess water from the paneer for about 30 minutes.
- Check paneer consistency for making any sweets by rubbing little piece of paneer on your palm and rub with your fingers to make a firm and smooth ball. If not squeeze excess water or it too dry / scramble, then add few drops of water and check for the consistency.

For Rasagullas
- Knead the prepared paneer in to smooth dough by adding 2 tbsp of all purpose flour/ maida.
- Divide the paneer dough into 17 ~ 20 equal parts and roll them to balls by applying little pressure to get smooth balls with out any cracks.
- Meantime boil water and sugar in a pressure pan or in a wide open pan on a medium heat.
- Add required amount of paneer balls depends upon the pressure pan size because rasagullas will tends to double its volume while cooking in the syrup.
- Close the pressure pan with lid and cook it for 7~8 minutes or till 2 whistles. In a open pan , cover the pan with lid and cook it for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes or show cooker under the running water before opening.
- Transfer to other bowl and refrigerate before serving.
Note: Kneading the paneer dough is a key factor for best rasagullas.
Store bought paneer doesn't work for making rasagullas. Home made is best.
Rasagullas can also be prepared without maida.
