Ingredients
For the Chenna
- 1 liter Full-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice or vinegar
For the Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup Sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 2-3 Cardamom pods crushed
Instructions
Preparing Chenna Balls
- Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once it boils, add lemon juice or vinegar gradually while stirring, until the milk curdles.
- Drain the whey using a muslin cloth, leaving behind the chenna. Knead the chenna until it becomes smooth and forms a soft dough-like consistency.
Making Rosogolla
- Divide the chenna into small portions and roll them into smooth, crack-free balls.
- In a separate pot, combine sugar, water, and crushed cardamom pods. Bring it to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Gently drop the chenna balls into the simmering sugar syrup. Cover the pot and let the rosogollas cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Check for doneness by gently pressing a rosogolla. It should spring back.
- Allow them to cool in the sugar syrup for a few hours.
Serve
- Once cooled, refrigerate and serve chilled.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios or saffron strands if desired.
