Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Paneer
- 50 grams Skimmed Milk Powder
- 1 liter Low-fat Milk
- 60 grams Whey Protein Powder (Vanilla Flavor)
- 80 grams Sugar
- 5 pieces Cardamom Pods
- 10 strands Saffron Strands
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Almonds
Instructions
Start by crumbling the paneer in a bowl. Add the skimmed milk powder to the crumbled paneer and mix well until combined into a smooth dough.
Divide the paneer dough into small, equal portions and shape them into flat, round discs.
In a large saucepan, bring 500 ml of low-fat milk to a boil.
Add the shaped paneer discs into the boiling milk and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes until the discs have absorbed some milk and fluffed up.
Remove the paneer discs using a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same saucepan, add the remaining 500 ml of milk. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the whey protein powder and sugar, mixing until fully dissolved.
Add the cardamom pods by gently crushing them to release flavor, followed by the saffron strands for color and aroma.
Continue to simmer the milk, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the paneer discs to the thickened milk mixture, allowing them to soak up the flavors for another 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the rasmalai cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the rasmalai to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds before serving.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for best results.
