Tips & Tricks
Ensure the chenna is well-drained but not too dry; this helps in making soft rasgullas.
Knead the chenna thoroughly to achieve a smooth texture for the Angoori balls.
Use full cream milk for a rich and creamy rabri.
Soak the saffron strands in warm milk to release their color and aroma effectively.
Let the rasgullas soak in the rabri for a few hours to absorb the flavors fully.
