Sweets for the festive season

Sweets and mithais are synonymous with celebrations and festivals. Just as no wedding function is complete unless it involves sweetmeats being distributed and shared, festivals are another time for all of us to gorge into delectable sweets.
And for the health conscious, what better time to binge and indulge into these delicious temptations!

Rosogullas
 Ingredients:
8 cup milk
1/2 cup lemon juice / white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

- The milk will separate into whey and curd. Pour into a vessel through a strainer and leave the paneer / curd to cool for at least an hour (best if kept overnight).
- Smooth curd in a mixer for one minute (till it becomes soft and not sticky). Now form even sized small balls from the curd. About 40-45 rasogullas would be formed.
- In a pressure cooker, add one and half cups of water to half-cup sugar and bring to boil. Place the rasogullas in this syrup.
- Pressure-cook it for about 2 whistles.
- Remove the rasogullas and let them cool. Serve cold.
