I really never knew making rasgullas shall be so rewarding. I made this for BM#22 and had a blast.
Page 102 of Pressure cooking by Nita Mehta gave me the chance to try my hands on this.
You shall need: [Makes 10-12]
1 L…. Full cream milk
1.5-2 tbsp… Vinegar
1 cup… Sugar
3 cup… water
2… green cardamoms
Method:
- Boil the milk and switch off the gas.
- Add the vinegar and let the milk curdle.
- Pour the chhena on a cheesecloth/muslin cloth and leave to dry for atleast 2 hours.
- Blend in a mixer without water until smooth and uniform.
- Put water, sugar and cardamom in the cooker and let it boil.
- Make small balls of the chhena mixture and drop in the sugar syrup.
- Pressure cook for 1 whistle.
- Remove from fire and let it cool. Serve
Things I learnt:
Mine were flat discs and not plump, so for the next time I shall pressure cook them in lots of sugar water. As they really swell up and need water to stay round. Else they are a hit in the family.

Wow I love rasgullas…..looks nice nad spongy
Delicious rasgullas and would like to try it out.
hey the rasgullas r looking very nice..all the three recipes for pressure cooker series are worth keeping..and trying..
Hey Pallavi this was one of the recipes on my wishlist for this BM, i have tried this pressure cooker version couple of times as well….urs look good if u have made them for the first time as mine was huge disaster, but then it clicked during subsequent attempts….only change i did , and wud recommend u to try is…using cow’s milk (low fat) as it tends to hold shape better
not one of my favorite Indian sweets…it’s a texture thing with me…but yours look great especially for a 1st try
I have tried this method once and it came out nice. I was planning to post this under ‘Bengal’ recipes, but couldn’t do it. Anyway, your post is making me want to go back in the kitchen and make some now
. They look fabulous, esp the picture of chana before being pressure cooked.
delicious sweet!!! one of my fav!!!
