Happy Holi

Hello Everyone!!

Welcome to "Colors Of Life"

HAPPY HOLI TO ALL :) 

May your life be full of colors and sweetness as these Rasgullas..and hope your life is framed with all the colors of love and happiness today and always!

As I had mentioned in my earlier posts am very much interested in food photography.. am posting today the pic of Colored Rasgullas (made using natural colors) I had made some days back.. please have a look.. Recipe is mentioned below..

This dish is well known all over India.. recipe courtesy "Flavors and Colors"

Ingredients :
For chenna(paneer),
1 ltr whole milk
2tsp vinegar + 2 tsp lemon juice (mixed it with lil warm water)

For sugar syrup,
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cup water
2tsp rose water or cardamom powder a pinch.

Bring milk to boil. When It starts raising add vinegar and lemon juice mixture and stir. It stars curdling. Let it curdle completely and then transfer this to a muslin cloth and hang till all watery liquid stains..nearly for 45 mins to one hour. Its a crucial step as it turns complete dry if it's kept hanging for more time and rasgullas turn hard.

Then remove chenna and knead it till a very smooth dough. Make balls of it. Make medium sized as it doubles after cooking.Till you make these balls ready on a stove with medium flame keep pressure cooker add water and sugar to it and when sugar completely dissolves and small bubbles occurs transfer all paneer balls to it and pressure cook it. Keep in high flame till first whistle and sim for next 7 mins. Then switch off the flame and let it cool. rasgullas are ready. smile emoticon

For coloring them.. I kept in beetroot syrup for pink color and kesar syrup for yellow color. You can also make chocolate color by adding chocolate powder to paneer dough while kneading it.

Thank you.. happy cooking.. 

Thanks so much for viewing :)
