Soft & Spongy Rasgulla Recipe – A Perfect Indian Dessert


Introduction

Rasgulla, a soft and spongy Indian dessert, is a favorite among sweet lovers. Made from chhena (paneer) and soaked in light sugar syrup, this Bengali delight is perfect for festivals and celebrations. Today, I’ll share a step-by-step recipe to make the perfect homemade rasgulla s that are juicy, light, and melt in your mouth!

Ingredients

For chenna (Paneer):

1 liter full-fat milk

2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar

1 cup cold water

For Sugar Syrup:

1.5 cups sugar

4 cups water

2-3 cardamom pods (optional)

A few drops of rose water (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Chhena (Paneer)

Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once it starts boiling, lower the heat.

Slowly add lemon juice or vinegar while stirring until the milk curdles completely.

Strain it through a muslin cloth and rinse with cold water to remove the sour taste.

Squeeze out excess water and hang it for about 30 minutes to remove extra moisture.

Step 2: Knead & Shape the Rasgulla s

Transfer the chhena to a plate and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and soft.

Divide it into small equal-sized balls, ensuring they have no cracks.

Step 3: Prepare Sugar Syrup & Cook

In a large pot, mix sugar and water, then bring it to a boil.

Add cardamom pods for extra flavor. The syrup should be lightly boiling before adding rasgullas.

Gently drop the rasgulla balls into the boiling syrup and cover with a lid.

Cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.

Step 4: Let It Rest & Serve

Turn off the heat and let the rasgullas rest in the syrup for at least 30 minutes.

Add a few drops of rose water (optional) for extra aroma.

Serve chilled and enjoy the spongy, juicy rasgullas!



Tips for Perfect Rasgullas

✅ Soft Chhena is Key: Knead until smooth but don’t overdo it.

✅ No Cracks: Ensure the balls are smooth for a perfect texture.

✅ Boiling Syrup: Add the rasgullas only when the syrup is lightly boiling.

✅ Cooking Time Matters: Overcooking can make them hard; undercooking may keep them raw inside.

✅ Let Them Rest: They soak syrup better when allowed to rest for some time.
