Useful tips and hacks for Angoori Rasmalai :
As Angoori Rasmalai is a milk based dessert, it doesn’t usually last beyond a couple of days. However, if you want it to last long, you would have to freeze it in an airtight container. You can experiment with this recipe by adding your own ingredients. Pomegranate is something that goes really well on top of this delectable dessert. You can also top it with finely chopped almonds. One of the main challenges people face with this Angoori Rasmalai recipe is that the Rasmalai balls often become hard instead of being melt in your mouth. To ensure this doesn’t happen, make sure that the balls are cooked but not overcooked. You can do this by dropping them in water. If they sink to the bottom it means that they are cooked perfectly. This dessert tastes best when served cold. Keep it in the refrigerator at all times.
