Ras Malai – Soft Indian Dessert with Creamy Milk

 

 

Some foods are not only delicious but also bring back memories.
For me, Ras Malai is one of those desserts.
Whenever there was a special occasion, like Eid, a birthday, or a family gathering, my grandmother would always make Ras Malai.

The whole house would be filled with the aroma of milk and cardamom.
We all stood by the stove, eagerly waiting to taste it.
Last week, I made Ras Malai myself.
During the family dinner, everyone was amazed that I used my grandmother’s old recipe.
As soon as the Ras Malai was served and the first piece was dipped in the sweet milk, everyone clapped happily.

It was truly magical.
