HAPPY DUSSEHRA

Ras Malai is a famous milk-based dessert of India.This dessert is rich in its texture, flavor & can be made easily by everyone at home. It is mainly served as a dessert after main meals
in Indian weddings, festival & other special occasions.

Ras Malai is dumplings made from cottage cheese soaked in sweetened, thickened milk delicately flavored with cardamom, safffron & garnished with slivers of dried fruits.

It is an irresistible sweet.The spongy & mildly sweet paneer balls dunked in the richness of milk, creaminess of nuts & mingled flavours of cardamom & saffron. I doubt if anyone would not like this divine dessert.
