When my dear friend Radhika asked me to do a guest post for Navratri, I decided to make something sweet for her. She had once mentioned to me that she likes Bengali sweets and she loves Raskadam. So, I thought this would be the best time to make Raskadam.

Raskadam is a very popular Indian sweet treat which has a soft creamy texture and juicy in the center. It’s made with ‘khoya’ (dried whole milk) and curdle milk. The curdle milk is used to make Rasgulla (juicy sweet balls dipped in syrup) which is then wrapped with the khoya dough.

Ingredients
3-1/2 cup whole milk
2 tbs lemon juice
1-1/2 cup sugar
a pinch of saffron threads
1-1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 cups khoya, grated or mashed
1 cup paneer, grated
Directions
Start by making the rasgullas:
In a deep pan, bring the milk to boil. Remember to stir it occasionally or else the milk will get burnt.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and pour the lemon juice while stirring it constantly.
Within 3 to 4 seconds, the milk will curdle and you should see clear green water. At this time, turn off the heat completely.
Let it cool for a minute and then strain it through the cheesecloth.
Wash the collected cheese with cold tap water to remove the lemon flavor.
Tie the sides of the cheesecloth together tightly and hang it somewhere to drain the remaining water from the cheese. This should take
about an hour.
Take out the cheese from the cheesecloth and knead for about 10 minutes, or until it's smooth.
Make small balls out of the dough and keep it aside.
Now, add sugar with 4 cups of water in a pressure cooker and bring it to boil.
Add the small balls of dough in it and let it boil for around 4 minutes.
Cover the cooker with the lid and boil for another 3 minutes.
Once it's cooled completely, strain the balls and spread it in a kitchen towel.
Next make the dough with khoya:
Mix a pinch of saffron threads with 1-1/2 tbs milk.
In a bowl, mix the grated khoya, powdered sugar, saffron milk and make a dough out of it. Keep it aside.
Prepare the grated paneer dust :
In a non stick pan, cook the grated panner in low heat until it changes to golden in color.
Spread it in a kitchen towel and let it cool completely. Then, put it in a food processor and grate it to a coarse dust.
Spread the dust in a separate plate.
Assembling the raskadam:
Take a little bit of dough in your hand and spread it flat.
Place the rasgulla in the center and wrap it with the dough.
Roll it slightly and make a ball out of it.
Place it on the plate with the paneer dust and rub it slightly all around.
Once you are done making all the raskadam, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 5 to 10 minutes.
You can refrigerate it in an air tight jar for up-to 3 days.
