Easy Rasmalai made with Ricotta cheese
I crafted an easy Rasmalai using Ricotta cheese as a quick alternative in this simple recipe. Instead of boiling, I chose to bake the ricotta cheese and then soak it in a delightful milk mixture. This approach streamlines the process while still delivering the delicious essence of traditional Rasmalai.
