  3. Prepare Chena (Paneer):
    • Heat 1½ liters of cow's milk until it boils.
    • Add vinegar gradually while stirring until the milk curdles.
    • Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth to separate the whey from the curds.

    • Squeeze out excess water from the curds by pressing with hands or by hanging in the cloth for some time.
  4. Form Rasgulla Balls:
    • Knead the chena (paneer) until smooth and divide it into small portions.
    • Roll each portion into smooth balls without any cracks.
  5. Cook Rasgulla:
    • Heat the prepared sugar syrup in a wide pan.

    • Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat.
    • The rasgullas will double in size while cooking.
  6. Serve
      • Let the rasgullas cool in the sugar syrup.
      • Serve them chilled or at room temperature.
    If preferred, you can replace sugar with jaggery powder to make jaggery rasgulla. Simply follow the same steps, substituting jaggery powder for sugar in the syrup.

Note

Rasgullas are primarily made from paneer (chena) and sugar syrup. Here's a breakdown of the basic nutritional components:

  1. Paneer (Chena):

    • Paneer is a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus.
    • It is high in fat and calories, so it should be consumed in moderation.
    • The exact nutritional content can vary depending on the type and brand of paneer used.
  2. Sugar Syrup:

    • Sugar syrup primarily contributes to the carbohydrate content of rasgullas.
    • It adds sweetness to the dish but also increases its calorie and sugar content.
    • The calorie count will depend on the amount of sugar used in the syrup.

Given that rasgullas are a sweet dessert, they are relatively high in calories and sugar. They should be enjoyed as an occasional treat as part of a balanced diet. If you're looking for more specific nutritional information, you may need to consult a food database or nutrition expert.
