Today 17th recipe for this Mega blogging Marathon the alphabet is Q. Q is a very tough letter to find a recipe in Indian cuisine. As usual I started searching recipe names then vegetable names,I didn't find any thing. Then I thought of this recipe which I tried almost a twenty years back from booklet. I didn't find that booklet now very sad:(, I checked all my notes but didn't find the recipe.
I checked in net for the recipe but all the recipes are used egg in net. But I am very sure which I tried is a egg less recipe.
finally I decide to try the recipe first time I tried with a tab sp of all purpose flour with milk powder, Rasmalai turned a bit hard. Second time I mixed egg replace powder in the place of a one egg. second time rasmali turned so soft and perfect. But I was not happy because when I first tried this recipe that time I didn't even know what a egg replace powder is. So was thinking what could I have used that time, not thinking I was literally breaking my head. Because that time rasgullas turned in to a lite yellow color. When I tried with egg replace powder I didn't get that color.
One fine day hubby ask me to make mango custard, because mango season started and we both like mango custard very much. When I was mixing the custard powder in milk that turned in to the same yellow color what I got for those rasmalai when I first made. Then immediately I tried those milk powder rasmalai with custard powder ... yes Now I got the recipe. Now the ingredient I used int he place of egg is a tab sp of custard powder.
Let me tell you why we use a egg or a egg replacer in a instant rasmalai specially made with milk powder is. The original recipe contain chhena (paneer) which is made in to round balls then cooked in sugar syrup. So when you add this rasgulla's in to hot boiling milk to make rasmalai they won't split because they were already cooked and they hold the shape. This traditional recipe takes a long time to make. For this quick rasmalai recipe since we are using milk powder to make rasmalai balls. When you drop milk powder balls in to hot milk they will melt and mix with the milk, so to hold the shape we are using egg or egg replace powder as a binding agent. We can make this quick rasmalai with in ten minutes time and I felt these taste just like the store brought one 's soft and smooth.. and very easy to make. You can make them before and store them in the fridge till you serve, but handle with care :) because they are very soft... this is my first sweet recipe in this Mega BM
so lets check the recipe...
