Ingredients

  • Full-fat milk – 500 ml
  • Rosgullas – 9-10
  • Sugar – 1 tsp
  • Cardamom Powder – ¼ tsp

Instructions

  • Take the rosgollas and lightly squeeze each one to drain out the syrup. Keep aside.
  • Take the milk in a heavy bottom pan and boil it over medium flame till the milk starts to thicken. Keep stirring in-between to prevent the milk from getting scalded.
  • Mix in the sugar and elaichi powder. Adjust the sugar according to taste as the rasgullas still have some sweetness left.
  • Simmer the sweetened milk until it reduces to almost 1/2 to 1/3 of its original quantity.
  • Tip the Rosogollas into the pan and simmer for about a couple of more minutes, so that the rosgollas absorb the milk.
  • Allow the rosogolla payesh to cool down completely and then refrigerate.
  • Serve chilled Bengali style Rosgollar Payesh, topped with nuts if desired.

Notes

You can add a few saffron strands and garnish with chopped pistachios.
