Easy Rasabali Recipe at Home
The main ingredient of this dish is Milk.You need to curdle milk to prepare Chenna or cottage cheese at home. Store bought Paneer will not work for this dish.
You can use Lemon juice or Fruit Vinegar to curdle milk.Boil the milk at medium flame. When the milk starts boiling , add lemon juice at that point and reduce the flame to the lowest.
It starts curdling which will happen in 10-30 seconds after adding lemon juice. If you can notice the curdling process, you may need to add more lemon juice.
Immediately switch off the flame once the milk is curdled completely .Let it rest for a minute or two .You can see the whey is separated .
Whey is slightly yellowish water. You can discard or use to knead Atta for making Chapati.It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
Collect the  Chenna in a Muslin cloth . Wash it twice under running water and squeeze the water out. This will remove all the sourness in the prepared Chenna. You don’t need that in Rasabali .This is very important step.
The Cheesecake from Odisha , you may like to try making at Home.Â
I have used whole wheat flour and little semolina with Chenna in making the fritters. You can not replace wheat flour with any other flour.
kneading is very important. Knead with your fingers for 4-5 minutes . You can not use spoon. You have to be a messy chef !
The Rasa is prepared reducing the milk . The consistency is in between Rabdi and Milk. You don’t need a thick consistency at all. So reduce to half. I have used Green cardamom powder for an aromatic flavour.
You can use Rose water though this is not a traditional way .
