When I was small I remember eating rasgulla's from a can.
I think that's how south Indians first had a taste of this sweet from Bengal or Odisha.
There are different variations in making them. This is relatively an easy way to make it.
Ingredients
milk - 1 ltr
lime juice - 1 to 2 tbp
sugar- 2 cups
water - 4 cups
Boil milk.
Add lime juice little by little and keep mixing it gently.
The milk will curdle and greenish water can be seen separating.
Stop adding lime juice at this point.
Strain it into a kitchen towel or cheese cloth with a sieve below it.
Wash it under cool running water.
Now squeeze it together and tie it and hang it for an hour.
After that take it and knead it.
Make small balls out of it. You should not see any cracks on the balls.
Boil water with sugar and add the balls into it. They will expand, so keep a wide pan.
Let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes until it becomes fluffy.
Or you can keep in pressure pan and cook it for a whistle.
Cool then and keep it in refrigerator for a couple of hours and enjoy.
