Ras Malai– The most delectable and decadent sweet dish of India which is popular for any celebration, festival or party.
I always make ras malai whenever I make Chenna or paneer and we all enjoy this humble dessert every once in a while. The only effort done is the stirring while making the Rabri but other than that it is super easy to make.
I made this ras malai for the blog a few years ago and the pics were not nice so when I chose the theme to redo old posts I knew I had to change the pictures.
