Ingredients

• 200 grams Paneer
• 50 grams Skimmed Milk Powder
• 1 liter Low-fat Milk
• 60 grams Whey Protein Powder (Vanilla Flavor)
• 80 grams Sugar
• 5 pieces Cardamom Pods
• 10 strands Saffron Strands
• 2 tablespoons Chopped Pistachios
• 2 tablespoons Chopped Almonds

Directions

Step 1

Start by crumbling the paneer in a bowl. Add the skimmed milk powder to the crumbled paneer and mix well until combined into a smooth dough.

Step 2

Divide the paneer dough into small, equal portions and shape them into flat, round discs.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, bring 500 ml of low-fat milk to a boil.

Step 4

Add the shaped paneer discs into the boiling milk and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes until the discs have absorbed some milk and fluffed up.

Step 5

Remove the paneer discs using a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 6

In the same saucepan, add the remaining 500 ml of milk. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the whey protein powder and sugar, mixing until fully dissolved.

Step 8

Add the cardamom pods by gently crushing them to release flavor, followed by the saffron strands for color and aroma.

Step 9

Continue to simmer the milk, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 10

Return the paneer discs to the thickened milk mixture, allowing them to soak up the flavors for another 5 minutes.

Step 11

Turn off the heat and let the rasmalai cool to room temperature.

Step 12

Once cooled, transfer the rasmalai to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds before serving.

Step 13

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for best results.
