I don’t have a sweet tooth but that’s not the case with my husband. When it comes to exploring sweets I tend to think towards cakes, puddings & pies. Before wedding, my husband had once mentioned that Rasmalai is his weakness. It still didn’t get me to try my hands at this dish & husband got to have this at wedding functions mostly.
For his birthday this year, I decided to make this at home. Considering the lockdown, this was the only gift I could think of. A quick search on net got me to this recipe, with minor iterations from me it was licked off by everyone at home!
