Bengali Rasgulla Recipe
Rasgulla one of the famous sweet and many of us favorite sweet in the world. It is a sweet which is made with chena and shaped into balls and then these balls are boiled in sugar syrup, so the syrup just goes into the balls and make it super spongy and juicy.
Super simple Rasgullas can be made in few steps.
To be frank, i am not a big fan of rasgullas. like them in rasmalai. I already have a recipe for rasgullas in my blog, that is made in pressure cooker. I wanted to share a new post with new pictures. So I decided to make a post on rasgulla made in pot. When I made this i was totally surprised that it looked amazing and tasted so yummy.
Making Rasgulla is so easy if you follow my steps, the ratio and procedure is very important. The main thing is to get the chenna right, i have posted step wise picture for how to make chenna. Soft chenna results in a soft and spongy rasgullas. And also the consistency of sugar is also important. Please follow my measurements so you will get no fail spongy rasgullas each time.
CHECK OUT MY RASMALAI RECIPE
1) Use whole full fat milk for making rasgullas. Traditionally they use buffalo milk for making rasgullas.
2)Chenna or Channa made has to be soft. Once you add lemon juice / curd / vinegar to your milk. Don't over cook the chenna. Else it will get hard and rubbery.
3)Wash the chenna made in cold water to remove the sourness.
4)Knead the paneer really well till it is soft and smooth. You can use a food processor. But the dough has to be soft and smooth.
5) Roll the balls till no cracks are found.
6)Get the sugar syrup perfect for cooking. I use 2 cups sugar and 5 cups water.
7)Use larger pan to cook the rasgullas. It expands a lot.
8)You can add any flavour to the syrup like cardamom, saffron, kesar.
9)Once rasgullas are cooked, drop them in cold water. If they floats then it is cooked.
Don't worry if your rasgullas are not perfect, you can always use them to make rasmalai.

Rasgulla Recipe | How to Make Bengali Rasgulla Recipe
Ingredients
- Full Fat Milk - 1 liter
- Lemon Juice - 1.5 tblspn
- For Sugar Syrup:
- Sugar - 2 cups
- Water - 5 cups
Instructions
- Squeeze some lemons, you will need 1.5 tblspn of lemon juice, line a sieve with muslin cloth and place it over a big bowl.
- Take milk in a pot and put it on high heat. Let it come to a boil. Once it boils, take it off the heat and let it sit for 1 min.
- Now add in lemon juice and mix gently. The milk will curdle. Once a greenish whey separates from the milk and the milk solids have curdled completely. Strain it in the sieve.
- Now take a big bowl of cold water and wash the chenna well. rinse it in three changes of water.
- Now squeeze it gently with your hands to remove any excess whey water, Tie a knot and hang it over a tap and leave it to drain for 30 mins. I squeezed occasionally to make things faster.
- After 30 mins, take the chenna in a bowl and knead it gently, by rubbing with your palms and knuckles till you get a soft dough.
- Once a dough is soft, take a small portion from it and roll it in your palms gently till you get a smooth ball.
- Repeat with the remaining dough as well.
- Now take sugar and water in a big pot and mix well so the sugar is melted. Once the sugar is melted, put it on stove and let it come to a rolling boil.
- Now drop the balls into the sugar water and cover it with a tight lid and cook it for 8 to 10 mins till the ball has tripled in volume.
- Now take it off the heat and let it sit for 15 mins.
- Now open the lid and transfer it to a bowl and chill it for 5 to 6 hours.
- Serve chilled.

Rasgulla Step by Step
 |
| Take milk in a pot |
 |
| Now it is completely curdled, you can see a light greenish kind of water has separated, this is the correct stage |
 |
| This is the whey water, so healthy..You can use them to knead chapati dough, add it to rasam, soup.. |
 |
| Now take sugar in a big pot, it should be big enough to hold the rasgullas because those tiny balls will expand three times in volume |

Great.... These pressure cooked rasgullas reminded me of my time when I was very new to cooking and rasgualla being my fav sweet, i would try to make it often but everytime in vain. Once I got a pressure cooker rasgulla recipe and dunno why but i was damm sure that it will turn out good this time so called up my friends too to share it with them. After all the efforts when I finally opened the lid of the pressure cooker, my rasgullas had literally disappeared, and since then i became a laughing stock among my friends... 🙂 I love those memories. I dunno how but all those rasgullas melted out. Not so easy to give up, i later followed manjula aunty's recipe on manjulaskitchen and at last was succeded in my rasgulla making attempt. The pics of rasgullas in the cooker brought back the old memories. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Insha allah i will once more try out this one...

Hi. . . I hv tried making it but firstly the chenna was very crumbly and i was unable to make dough. I tried prepare balls but when i cooked it was little hard. Pls suggest.
Aarthi
@AnonymousIt is because you have over cooked the chena, u have to cook till is soft, after it is curdled, dont boil it, else it will turn rubbery.

If the rasgullas have become hard can we do anything to make it soft again.

@Anonymousu cannot make it soft again, but you can add it to rabdi and make rasmalai

Clearly presentes aarthi.. Tried it ..got it right. What to do with the sugar syrup. There is so much of syrup. Can we use the left over syrup in any form?
And one question, when chenna balls are dropped in sugar syrup, do we need to cook them on high or medium flame.
Aarthi
@Madhuyou can use that syrup for making juices
Aarthi
@Madhuu have to cook the chenna balls on medium high heat
devangi chaudhry
I did d rasgullas as mentioned by you. Dey were soft,round,spongy. But wen allowed to sit for 15 min,they became Sumwat flat,like rasmalai. And dey were soft wen hot,but lost sponginess wen cooled down.though the chenna was very soft,I thought they Wil cum out soft,but it didn't happen. I used mother dairy packet milk.pls suggest how can I improve upon.
mysweetaddiction
Dear Aarthi, u r gorgeous n I m a really big fan of urs.. Everything new I tried was a complete disaster n a big waste but ur recipes are never a fail I just wanted to ask that if the chenna I use has been curdled naturally ( without using lemon) will this make any side effects to the rasgullahs?? Thanxx a bunch in advance... I look forward to ur reply!! Bye.. 🙂
Aarthi
@mysweetaddictionnaturally curdled ones are because of spoilt milk. i dont suggest using that

@devangi chaudhrythere is some problem with the chenna..

Aarthi
@manndeep sharmaur chenna is too much cooked and turned hard
Kavitha
So yummy.. Will definitely try this week.. but I hv 2 doubts.
1. Don't we add lemon juice when the milk is boiling itself? Will it curdle properly if we do off fire?
2. How many whistles should I keep if I do in press cooker?
Thanx in advance..
Aarthi
@KavithaIf u add lemon juice when it boils and still keep on the flame, then the chena will get hard and rubbery.

Hi Aarthi,
I am great fan of your blog..I like the picture way story of ur receipe, it helps a lot in understanding. You post ever time such an amazing receipes.. Pls keep up the good work.. I tried out the Rasgulla it turned out great, everyone liked it 🙂 while making the Rasgulla sugary water, I added 3-4 cardamom in it which gave nice flavour to the rasgullas.
Also, many times the sugary water becomes excess, so instead of throwing I added it while making tea to make flavourful elachi tea.

The only word that comes in mind after looking at your Rasgulla receipe...Brilliant...I am not a fan of any written recepies, but your pictorial, each step well explained and shown is brilliant. Guess even i can start cooking now.
Rohit
Hi Aarthi, tried this Rasagulla receipe. Everything came out well, dough was soft and dry, rasagullas swell well while cooking, but after taking out of flame it reduced in size (flattened a bit) and final product even though was soft to touch, but gave a rubbery feel upon eating. Any suggestion to improve?
Aarthi
@Rohit i think u have not kneaded it enough
slim beast
Hey, my problem here is that it is very difficult to get full fat milk. Can I use some alternatives like cream or yogurt or even ghee?
Please reply soon as it is my dream to make rasgullas at my own home.
Thank you.
Aarthi
@slim beastno use regular milk then
Aarti Gupta
Hi Aarthi
when i tried to curdle the milk, the whey wouldnt separate and what remained almost looked like milk. The chenna still has water content in it and i am not able to completely squeeze the water out. so i am not able to knead it well. its so watery. I used a cheese cloth to strain off the excess water/milk. I dont know if anybody has faced this. I am so disappointed.
Aarthi
If the mix is not curdling then add more lemon juice or yogurt till it is completely curdled
Aarti Gupta
Thanks Aarthi. What you suggested worked. But it wasnt as round as in your pics. They turned a little flat when taken out of the flame. As i saw your comment, kneading is important. I kneaded for around 10 mins. I think i'll try again. Thanks for your suggestion.
Deepti Aggarwal
Even mine came out little flat. Can you tell how to improve on that??
Deepti Aggarwal
Thanks Aarthi, i just loved the recipe... As promised, I made these today and they came out so well and tasty.. I mean I hust cant tell they were delicious in taste.. The only thing I wanted to share is when i removed the lid finaly they were expanded for sure but they were little flattened as if we have pressed them a bit with hand. What do you think how can I avoid that? I just want to be perfect in rosogulla as they are my mom's favourite and I am for sure gonna try this... Thanks a lot. Luved this easy recipe..😘😘😘😘

It depends on the consistency of the chenna. not sure what must have gone wrong
