Rasabali – Indian Milk Sweet Recipes

When I first read about the Odisha sweet Rasabali, I was immediately interested. Though we know that milk based Bengali sweets are famous, even milk sweets from Odisha are amazing. I came to know about this only after I started blogging, and as I was researching for milk sweets, I came to know a lot about odisha sweets. You will see many sweets this BM from Odisha. And this one is so yum.

Paneer patties are deep fried and soaked in thick sweetened milk and served as prasad. This is one of the sweets included in Chapan Bhog for Jagannath. The only doubt I had was whether the patties will disintegrate while deep frying. But the semolina and maida in the dough took care of it and the patties stayed intact through frying. As the patties don’t have any added sugar, the whole sweetness comes from the milk in which the patties are soaked. Either use sugar or condensed milk to the milk and adjust it according to the sweetness required. If you have malai paneer at home, the whole preparation takes nearly 30 minutes from start to finish. If you have silver varq, use it for garnish.

Paneer – 200 gm

Maida – 1 tsp
