Ingredients:

Whole Milk – 8 cups (divided)

1/4 tbsp. maida/ cornflour
pinch of baking powder
Water – 5 cups
Sugar – 1 cup
Saffron – pinch
Cardamom Powder – 1/4 tsp
Pistachios & Almonds – 2 Tbsp, roughly chopped
Sugar for taste
Method:-
1. Boil 4 cups milk in a steel pan and boil the remaining 4 cups milk in a non-stick pan (The milk in the non-stick pan needs to be reduced to half the quantity so once it comes to a boil, keep the flame low and keep cooking while stirring occasionally. Add saffron, cardamom powder to the milk while boiling)

2. Once the milk in the steel pan comes to a rolling boil, slowly add lemon juice.
3. When the milk curdles (paneer), switch off the stove and strain the paneer in a cheese cloth.
4. Pour a little cold water over the paneer and hang the cheese cloth on the tap for approx 30 minutes to remove all of the liquid.
5. Remove the paneer from the cheese cloth and cornflour, maida and small pinch of baking powder and mix it everything together.

6. In a pan add 1 cup sugar to the water to make the sweet syrup by stirring continuously till the sugar dissolves completely.

7. Meanwhile make tight round balls of the paneer dough

8. Add paneer balls in the sugar syrup cook for high flame for the 15 mins. After 15 mins turn off the flame.

9. Remove the cooked paneer with a slotted spoon into a bowl and allow it to cool.
10. Meanwhile, the milk in the non-stick pan should have reduced to half. Add sugar to taste and nuts.

11. Once the paneer is cool enough to handle with your hands, gently squeeze out the sugar syrup and add the prepared reduced milk and cook for 6 mins. Switch off the stove and cool down the Ras Malai
