Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh full-cream milk is mandatory for achieving the richest chhena.
- Ensure the chhena is kneaded until it releases a little oil and becomes like a dough.
- Use a wide pot while cooking as rasgullas double in size and need space to expand.
- Add the balls only when the syrup is boiling vigorously to ensure immediate rise.
