Aarthi, try Kugan's special veg kurma which has lil coconut milk in it...very tasty even without coconut milk...easy to make aswell...

I always make rasmalai using haldirams rasgullas... just squeeze out the juice from rasgulla and put it in warm water and squeeze out the water gentkly...u can put the rasgullas in a lemon squeezer and squeeze very gently... will be less messy than squeezing by hand...
Boil milk with some cashew paste and saffron strands(mixed in warm milk)...
Add sugar to taste, cardamom powder and the rasgullas... simmer for 2 mins... take off flame and garnish with pistachios(sliced)...Chill n serve...
Simple and yummy...

If u can't get readymade rasgullas, just go for warm gulabjamuns with vanilla ice cream... very easy and loved by all...

U can also try Mrs.Mano's rasmalai using milk powder and eggs if u want to try from scratch...

[dev]

Interesting recipe Arthi... will try it... Kandippa will try the vendakkai curry again...we loved it a lot!!!

K, do u have a recipe for sweet mixture...the kind u get in TN... a mixture of white sticks(I guess potatoes),peanuts,cashews,raisins etc and enough sugar to make it taste like a sweet dish...

[gulabjamun]
