Ras Malai is a rich and delicious milk based sweet. It is very popular in India and is often prepared during festivals, special occasions and weddings. Ras Malai looks quite difficult to make but is actually very easy if you make it a few times and get a hang of it.
The main ingredients used in making Ras Malai are Milk, Saffron, Dry fruits and Sugar. In this recipe, we will be preparing Rasgullas first and then dipping them in the reduced Milk mix or Malai.
Let's move to the recipe of making Ras Malai at home.

- Meanwhile we will make the rabri or Malai.
- For this, heat 500 ml milk in another pan, and then add Saffron.
- Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes while stirring till the milk reduces to half.
- Add sugar, cardamom powder, sliced almonds and pistachios and mix well.
- Cook for a couple of minutes. Switch off the gas.
