About Recipe
What is Ramalai?
Rasmalai is a famous Bengali, Pakistani, and Indian sweet dish or dessert that people love to eat. People from Pakistan and India love to serve 'Rasmalai' at special events like weddings, family gatherings, and festivals.
It's been famous that K.C. Das (confectionery expert) created this mouthwatering sweet dish. The name ras malai is the combination of two Bengali words: ras, meaning "juice", and malai, meaning "cream". Rasmalai originated in the eastern Indian states of Orissa or West Bengal basically it's a variation of Rasgulla or Rosogulla.
Normally people make it in 2 ways:
- Rasmalai with Milk Powder or Khoya (I used this method).
- Chenna Rasmalai made with Paneer (cottage cheese)
Here, I am making soft rasmalai with milk powder which is easy and quickly prepare at home and tastes like sweet cream balls.

Quick Tips
- Use the proper quantity of ingredients.
- If you are taking 1 cup of milk powder then add ½ teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of Maida. You can multiply the measurements if you are making in bulk.
- When adding oil in milk powder mixture then give it a good mix with hand to crumble all the ingredients then add a small quantity of beaten egg to make a soft dough.
- Don't make the dough too hard or soft to manage.
- Apply oil on hands when making rasmalai balls.
- Try to avoid the cracks in ramalai balls.
- Make sure to add the rasmalai in hot milk right after making it otherwise it will be hard.
- Don't leave in hot milk for a long time otherwise, it will break.
Serving
It's a more desirable dessert for summer as it always serves cold. Keep it in the refrigerator to make it cold. Never keep in the freezer!
To make it more tempting, you can play with different serving idea. I personally love to add an additional dry fruit bowl along with the serving platter. Normally the Rasmali serve in bowls so small size bowls with small spoons goes well with the platter. Decorate the serving tray with some dried or fresh rose petals.
How to Store
Rasmalai is a delicate and sensitive dessert. You can store the leftover Rasmalai in a glass jar container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. To keep the freshness of rasmalai, avoid placing it in a plastic jar or container. When you want to eat, take it out and keep it at room temperature, if it's too cold. Avoid microwave or any stove heating method to reuse after taking it out from the refrigerator.
Common Questions
How to fix Rasmalai balls?
If your rasmalai balls are disintegrated in milk then there is no way to make them in shape until or unless you strain the milk, squeeze, and make the shape again. It seems like a hectic process. Once it's happened with me and I decomposed the whole rasmalai balls and give it a quick whisk using an electric beater. As it gets fluffy, I pour it into kulfi mould. Don't forget to sprinkle pistachio powder and freeze it for 7 to 8 hours and enjoy your rasmalai kulfi. It seems like a quick and yummy fix. In fact, my kid asked me to make it again.
Is Ramalai Contain Gluten?
Yes, because it's been prepared with milk ingredients like milk powder, chenna (cheese), and flour.
Why Rasmalai gets dry?
If the Rasmalai dough is hard then it will be hard from the middle when you cook it. Try to make a soft dough. Add a small quantity of the beaten egg to make a soft dough.
Possible reasons for Hard Rasmalai
- Might be the dough is hard.
- Adding rasmalai balls in cold milk and then cook it to get a rise.
- Not giving much time to cook in the milk.
- Adding a high quantity of beaten egg to make a dough.
- Avoid milk to make rasmalai dough.
