Since childhood, I am so so fond of Rasgoolas and Rasmalai and practically all the Bengali Sweets. We get the best of these sweets just around the corner. There were a couple of episodes when I had tried making these sweets and it came out horrible. So pathetic that I had almost given up on making them and thought I will relish them paying a bomb for it through my life.

But then there was still a ray of hope and a couple of days back my gals demanded Rasmalai. I decided to make it at home this time and of course, I knew where I would find the recipe- Neha Mathur-my fav blogger. I instantly browsed her website and I found the recipe of Angoori Rabri /Rasmalai. I followed her recipe and made a few changes to the ingredients. Instead of using cashew nuts. I have used roasted almonds and I have not added any food color and silver garnishing to it.

Angoori Rasmalai turned out to be really good and delicious and everybody in the family really liked it. You can now make Angoori Rasmalai at home
