Rasgulla or Rosogulla light spongy paneer balls in sugar syrup, very popular Indian sweet. Need no further introduction. This is my favorite sweet. whenever i make paneer at home i save some for rasgulla. First time when i made a few years back they came out a little hard. So for making perfect spongy rasgulla knead the cheese for atleast ten minutes.
I tried making rasgulla with different type of milks. But i like it more with 2% milk it gives the perfect spongy texture. The process is similar to making paneer at home and then knead and boil, though sounds a long process. But worth trying!!
