Nice post! Ur next sweet- ras gulla?
Just delicious...looks so easy to prepare and mouthwatering!
Soft chenna is critical for the success of the dish it is going to be used for, the amount of vinegar/lemon juice used should be just right. Definitely a useful post. I guess you are planning to make sandesh/rasgulla or maybe ras malai.
Is Rasagolla the next dish? :) Waiting..
Thanks for sharing, I was really wondering how to keep something on this as when I did for the first time I lost my paneer. Thanks for your idea tying it into the tap tightly.
