Ras Malai (or Rosomalai) is a popular milk based Indian Dessert. In general it is prepared with Chena/ Panner / Cottage Cheese shaped into small balls cooked in thickened milk and the recipe is a bit complicated. To avoid the complication I used to use readily available “Rosogolla” for preparing Ras Malai at home. I found this recipe in late Tarla Dalal’s website but my first attempt was pathetic!!!! Then tried this Quick Ras Malai ( Rosomalai with Egg) again on my daughter Pasta’s 1st Birthday and again on Durga-Saptami and it came out superb!!!!!

[/url]Notes
Rasmalai balls need to be added in one go else the balls will turn hard.
The milk has to be in the boiling point while adding the balls.
To check whether Rasmalai is being done or not, you need to take one ball and cut it with a spoon to check the fluffiness.
