Serving Size  :       Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 7-09 Sep 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2             pounds  Ricotta cheese
  2             quarts  half and half
  2               cups  sugar
  5                     cardamom pods -- crushed
  1           teaspoon  vanilla
                        Rose wine -- optional
                        Saffron threads
  4        tablespoons  crushed pistachios

Mix 1 1/2 cups of sugar with the Ricotta cheese and bake it in a 400-degree
F. oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes in a flat dish covered with
aluminum foil. The cheese should have firmed up. If not, bake a bit longer.
Don't let it get too brown.

Thicken the Half and Half by simmering over low heat for a long time.
This is best done in a microwave; if a microwave is not available, do it
over low heat and stir frequently. Thicken until the volume drops to
around half of the original volume.

Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cardamom pods, saffron, vanilla and rose
water (and any other flavouring that you may want) to the Half and Half.
Heat for a few minutes.

After the cheese has been baked, (cooling it a bit will make it easier to
handle) cut it into 1-inch squares and add to the hot thickened half and
half. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. It will continue to
thicken.

Crush the pistachios and garnish the ras malai before serving.

NOTES : If you think the cheese won't thicken (try using Sargento, it is
the driest of ricotta cheeses) try adding a small bit of flour (couple of
tablespoons) and 2 eggs along with the sugar. If your ricotta cheese is
wet, place in a cheesecloth and let drain.

Also added some edible gold as an additional garnish.

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  :       Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 7-09 Sep 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  32            ounces  ricotta cheese
                        or an equivalent amount
                        freshly made Paneer
  10            ounces  powdered Confectioner's sugar
  2       small packets  Half and Half -- (2 quarts? H.)
  1           teaspoon  powdered cardamom
     1/2      teaspoon  rose water
  2          teaspoons  slivered almonds
  2          teaspoons  chopped pistachios
  6               cups  water
  3               cups  sugar

If you are using the Ricotta cheese, mix together the confectioner's
sugar and cheese. Spread on a baking dish and bake in a moderate oven for
about 1 1/2 hours till the cheese turns light brown and loses all moisture.

Take it out and let it cool. When cool, shape into small flat balls. If
you are using paneer, mix the paneer and sugar and shape it into flat
balls. Bring the water and sugar to a boil to yield sugar syrup. The syrup
should not be too thick.

Insert the balls one by one in the syrup and warm them up. They should
become spongy.

In the meantime, boil the half and half with the rose water. Set aside.
Add the cardamom and nuts to the half and half. Mix well. Add the cooked
balls to the half and half. Let it stay immersed for about 1 hour.

You can either chill it or serve it at room temperature.

Preparation : 15 minutes. Cooking: 25-30 minutes (excluding setting time and
baking time for the Ricotta)

  Rasmalai ­ Indian Dessert Sweet Ricotta Squares with Nuts and Creamy Sauce

Recipe By     : Indian Vegetarian Cooking at Your House; Humbad & Boger
Serving Size  : 24    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 7-09 Sep 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  16            ounces  ricotta cheese -- (2 cups)
     1/2           cup  sugar -- (1/2 to 1 cup)
  2               cups  half and half
     1/4      teaspoon  cardamom powder -- (optional)
     1/4      teaspoon  saffron -- (optional)
  1           teaspoon  vanilla extract
  1                cup  slivered unsalted almonds
                        or unsalted pistachios -- unsalted walnuts
                        or a mixture of those nuts

In a bowl, mix together until very smooth: 16 ounces (2 cups) ricotta
cheese, 1/2 to 1 cup sugar.

Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish and place in a preheated 350 degree F.
oven for 20 minutes. Continue to bake another 10-20 minutes, checking the
mixture every 5 minutes until it separates form the sides of the pan.
Remove and cool.

Bring to a boil in a saucepan: 2 cups half and half, 1/4 teaspoon
cardamom powder (optional), 1/4 teaspoon saffron (optional).

Cut the baked ricotta into serving-sized squares and place in a deep
serving dish. Sprinkle with: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour the half and
half evenly over the squares and allow to soak.

Serve topped with: 1 cup slivered unsalted almonds (or unsalted
pistachios, unsalted walnuts, or a mixture of those nuts)

If you want to decrease the richness of this dessert, you can use regular
or 2% milk instead of half and half in the sauce. Your sauce will be
thinner but will still be tasty. You can also substitute non-fat ricotta;
the texture will be drier, but the dessert will still be flavorful.

Servings 2 dozen,  Serving Size 2
