Steps

1 Done	Prepare the Chenna • Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once it comes to a boil, add lemon juice or vinegar gradually until the milk curdles. Stir gently. • Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. • Pour the curdled milk into a muslin cloth or fine sieve and rinse under cold water to remove the acidic taste. Squeeze out excess water and hang for 30 minutes.
2 Done	Make Rasmalai Balls • Knead the chenna until smooth and soft. Divide into small portions and shape them into small balls.
3 Done	Prepare Rasmalai Syrup • In a pot, combine sugar, water, and crushed cardamom. Bring to a boil. • Add the chenna balls to the boiling syrup and cook for about 10-15 minutes until they double in size. Remove from heat and let them cool in the syrup.
4 Done	Make Milk Syrup • In another pan, boil 2 cups of milk with sugar and crushed cardamom. Reduce it to a thick consistency (about 15-20 minutes). • Add saffron strands if using.
5 Done	Assemble • Place the cooked chenna balls in a serving dish and pour the milk syrup over them. • Garnish with chopped nuts.
6 Done	Serve • Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Enjoy your homemade Rasmalai!
