Ras Malai

• Ingredients
  • 2 L milk
  • 5 Tbsp sugar
  • 5 pods green cardamom
  • Juice from 1 lemon
• Instructions
  • Put 1 L milk each into two separate pots and start heating
  • Keep one simmering to boil off some of the water while curdling the other one with the lemon juice when it boils
  • Strain curdled milk through thin cloth, rinse with cold water, and try to squeeze out as much water as possible
  • Form this into ~8-10 balls - it requires a lot of kneeding to get it smooth enough to form proper balls
  • Boil these in water for ~5-10 minutes covered with a lid
  • While they are boiling, add sugar and cardamom (ground) to the other milk
  • Take the balls out of the water and add them to the sweetened milk
  • Boil for a few minutes, then leave to cool and eventually refrigerate
