Let’s talk about some interesting facts of history of Rasgulla:

It dates back to the 13th century when Odisha people used to celebrate at Puri and this sweet ball was part of their ritual. Some historians claim that Jagannath used to offer these sweets to consort Lakshami to appease her. Some used to call this “khira mohana” because of its white appearance and structure in the 11th century. Since then, it has become traditional to offer this chenna dish to Goddess Lakshami. It has also been used as communion or prasad in various hindu temples in ancient times.

Have a look at the step by step guide of Rasgulla recipe:

1)Process of making chenna: First and foremost part is boiling the milk. Make sure the utensil is properly rinsed before boiling the milk. Keep stirring the milk so that a creamy layer could not be formed on the top.
2)You can use homogenized or non-homogenized milk.
3)Keep stirring until the milk is properly curled. If the milk is showing any signs of curdling, then you can add some tbsps of lemon juice.
4)Now the preparation of chenna starts. Add ice-cold water in the cheese mixture, because this water will refrain the cheese from further cooking, in other words, the cheese will remain soft.
5)Keep the mixture aside for 2 to 5 minutes.
6)Now rinse the mixture with a linen cloth so that cheese gets separated from the lemon juice.
7)Wrap up the chenna with the help of a cloth and place it in the running water so that it could easily cool down meanwhile.
8)Squeeze the cloth as much as you can so that excess water could be removed.
9)After draining the whey, your chenna should not have dripping water otherwise it could impact the formation of Rasgullas.
10)Now comes the kneading part: To check the credibility of chenna, take a little portion of chana in your fingers and spread it gently on the cutting board. It should be crumbly and non-sticky.
11)Now knead the chenna with your hands or fingers so that it turns uniform and smooth. Carry on this process for about 5 minutes.
12)Do not over knead the chenna otherwise your Rasgullas could shrink in size after the heating.
13)Make some smooth balls from the dough. These will be your outcome as Rasgullas after the cooking of the balls.
14)Lastly, the procedure of making rasgullas starts: Take a large skillet or pot and add sugar in it. It should be enough for all the rasgullas.
15)Add cardamom pods and water in it and heat the water so that sugary syrup could be formed for the rasgullas.
16)You can add some rose water for some extra flavors and dissolve the sugar accordingly.
17)From step 13 , take the balls and add them in the syrup.
18)Rest assured. Keep the pot by covering the lid for about 10 to 15 minutes. After some time, check the mixture and stir it again.
19)Make sure your syrup is boiling uniformly and rapidly.
20)You can check yourself that your rasgullas will become double in size and will become puff sooner or later.
21)Make sure to keep the lid covered after turning off the gas otherwise your rasgullas will become uneven to eat.
