Ras Malai or Rosh malai is a dessert eaten in India, Pakistan,[1][2] and Bangladesh. The name Ras Malai comes from two parts in Hindi: "Ras" meaning "juice" and "Malai", meaning "cream". It has been described "as a rich cheesecake without a crust."[2][3]
Ingredients[edit]
Ras Malai consists of sugary white, cream or yellow coloured (or flattened) balls of paneer soaked in malai (clotted cream) flavoured with cardamom.[4]
Homemade Ras Malai is usually made from powdered milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder and oil; kneaded to form a dough, moulded into balls and dropped into simmering milk cream. Flour is not commonly used in traditional Ras Malai cooking.
Origin[edit]
Rasmalai is believed to have originated in Odisha. It is one of the most famous desserts in that region[5] and is likely based on the rasgulla, which is a close variation.
