What is Royal rasmalai?

Royal Rasmalai is a rich and luxurious version of the traditional Indian dessert, Rasmalai. It is prepared using premium ingredients and additional elements to enhance its taste and presentation. Royal Rasmalai often includes ingredients like saffron, silver leaf (varak), and a generous amount of dry fruits such as almonds, pistachios, and cashews.

Why my rasmalai is not spongy?

There could be several reasons why your Rasmalai may not be spongy. Here are some common factors that can affect the texture of Rasmalai:

  1. Quality of Paneer: The quality of paneer (cottage cheese) used to make the Rasmalai can impact its sponginess. Ensure that you use fresh and soft paneer that is well-drained and free from excess moisture.
  2. Kneading the Paneer: Proper kneading of paneer is crucial to achieve a spongy texture. Make sure to knead the paneer well until it becomes smooth and pliable, without any lumps. This step helps in developing the gluten in the paneer, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.
  3. Size and Thickness: The size and thickness of the Rasmalai discs can affect how spongy they turn out. Ensure that you shape the flattened balls of paneer into discs that are of uniform thickness. Thicker discs may take longer to cook and may not turn out as spongy.
  4. Soaking Time: After cooking the discs, it is important to allow them to soak in the sugar syrup for a sufficient amount of time. This allows the discs to absorb the syrup and become moist and spongy. If the soaking time is inadequate, the discs may not achieve the desired sponginess.

By ensuring these factors are taken into account, you can improve the sponginess of your Rasmalai. Experiment with these tips and techniques to achieve the perfect texture in your homemade Ras malai.
