Rasmalai is a delicious Indian dessert, which is loved by almost everyone. It consists of Indian cottage cheese cakes immersed in cardamom and saffron flavored milk. The cakes are made in the same way as rasgulla but I am preparing it with store bought ricotta (Italian cheese). Since ricotta falls in the same category as paneer, that can be heated without melting, it is a perfect choice for making rasmalai.

Shahi Paneer

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast with Saffron Sauce
This stuffed chicken breast with saffron sauce is a total winner. It makes an amazing Sunday night meal with the family and impressive enough for entertaining!
Rasgullas / Cheese Balls in Light Sugar Syrup
Made throughout the Indian Subcontinent but particularly loved by Bengalis, rasgullas are cheese balls in thin sugar syrup. They are soft, spongy, juicy and make a perfect festive sweet treat.
Bombay Sandwich
When your taste buds are longing for something exciting, swap out that plain grilled cheese sandwich for Bombay sandwich. It’s an immensely popular street food of Maharashtra and out of the world delicious.
No bake Mango Brûlée
Sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy, this egg less mango brulee is a delicious reminder that spring is here and summer is on its way. It’s a fantastic make ahead dessert suitable for any occasion.
Kalakand
Kalakand is a soft milk based sweet with a hint of kewra and cardamom. It is made with concentrated milk called khoya and fresh paneer. This traditional process of kalakand takes some time to make so to speed up the process I use ricotta cheese and condensed milk. Just two ingredients! Whether it is cooked in a traditional way or in an instant way, it has the same rich taste and grainy texture.
I published Kalakand back in November 2014 under the name ricotta cheese burfi. It’s really delicious and I am updating the recipe by cutting back on sugar which means I increased the amount of ricotta cheese to condensed milk.
