Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare saffron milk

In a large pot, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, saffron threads, and cardamom pods. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

2
Reduce heat and simmer

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the milk mixture for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces by about one-third.

3
Add sugar and condensed milk

Stir in the sugar and sweetened condensed milk until dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.

4
Make cottage cheese dough

In a large bowl, mix together the whole milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until well combined.

5
Knead the dough

Gradually add lemon juice to the milk powder mixture and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.

6
Shape the dumplings

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.

7
Cook the dumplings

In a large pot of boiling water, gently drop the dough balls and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

8
Soak the dumplings

Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked dumplings from the water and gently squeeze out any excess water. Place the dumplings in the prepared saffron milk and let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or until they absorb the milk and become soft and spongy.

9
Chill and serve

Chill the Saffron Rasmalai in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve cold, garnished with a sprinkle of saffron threads or crushed cardamom, if desired.
