INGREDIENTS:
* 1500 ml Milk
* 1 Cup Sugar
* ½ Tsp Baking Powder
* 1 Tsp Semolina
* ½ Cup Cream
* 1 Lemon
* 10 Nos Cardmoms (Ground seeds only)
* 10 Nos Almonds (skinned) or Pistachio (salt free)
* ½ Cup Water
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Start off by heating 1 Litre of milk in a pan. Stop halfway through before it boils.
- Allow it to cool off a bit and then squeeze in the lemon. This will cause sedimentation to start and water will separate from solids.
- Drain the solids (Khoya) and hang this khoya in a clean piece of cloth so that all moisture is drained completely.
- Once the Khoya is free of visible moisture add baking powder and semolina and mix well by kneading it.
- Form ping pong sized round or elongated balls of this dough.
- Add sugar and same amount of water to a pan and bring to boil creating a semi thick syrup.
- Add the formed balls to this syrup while still hot and cover it for 10 minutes, better still place it on very low heat.
- Bring to boil the remaining half litre of milk till it reduces to about half of its original volume. Now add cream and ground cardmom seeds.
- Ok, we are almost done. Finally add the syrup drenched balls to the milk and cream mixture. If this mixture is very thick add some syrup that was used to drench balls.
- Garnish with pistachio or almonds and refrigerate for a while to serve cold.
- Delicious Russ Malai is an all time favourite of the young and old alike.
