      Bhargavi,

      Normally a small can should have about 15 to 20 rasgullas. To be on the safe side make it 12. Thanks.

      Rose, half and half as such is little thicker when compared to regular milk, so just bring it one boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Have a wonderful time.

      Pranoti,

      Its nothing but half cream and half milk, its available here in US, but not sure about Sydney. Try using whole milk instead. Here is an useful link relating to this topic

    Preparing rasmalai with ricotta Cheese is tastier than this.

    1. Mullai Avatar
      Mullai

      I agree to the fact that this one is less tastier when compared to the Ricotta, but this cheese is made from the whey collected during other cheese making process and taste sweeter and low in fat. Whereas original Rasmalai is made from Paneer, which is  the cheese collected from full cream milk and taste far better than the other two. I've tried and tasted the Instant mix, Instant rasgulla type, Ricotta  and the Paneer and my vote is for Rasmalai made with fresh Paneer. Have you ever tasted rasmalai from Mint Street, Chennai??When you get a chance, try that and you will know the difference. One more thing… you don't have to hide, just bcos you gave a negative comment. This site welcomes both positive and negative comments as long as they are addressed with respect and written politely. Thanks for your feedback.

      Indian and Spanish markets have them. Regular grocery chains should have them under gourmet and exotic spices.
