Cooking Instructions for Ras Malai Recipe

In a large pot add the milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir continuously.
As the milk boils, reduce the heat to low and add the lemon juice. Stir gently until the milk curdles and separates into curds.
Turn off the heat and strain the curds through a muslin cloth. Rinse the curds under cold water to remove any lemony flavor.
Squeeze out excess water from the curds through cloth. Hang the cloth to drain for about 30 minutes.
After draining, transfer the drained curds to a clean bowl. Knead the curds with your hands until it forms a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll them to form smooth balls.
In another pot, combine water, sugar and cardamom powder. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Gently drop the prepared balls into the boiling sugar syrup. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are cooked and doubled in size.
Once cooked, remove the balls from the syrup and let them cool slightly.
