Try using cow's milk to get super soft paneer, also once you drain your paneer add some chilled cold water, this also increases the softness.

I have made it for poojas and parties, as much up to 150 rasmalais. I can give some pointers. I learned to make rasgulla from Kichu Khon (Sharmila's website). She is a bengali so I figured they know best. I used cup measurement, 4 cups of milk and 2 cups water for the pressure cooker. One thing I can say is that I use fresh lemons to spilt milk and draining of water completely is essential. I hang it in refrigerator. Secondly, I use 2 whistles on high and 2 on low. My rasmalais are always soft. Hope this helps.<br />-AnuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746440631729949558.post-68069689220556404002010-05-15T23:08:38.355+05:302010-05-15T23:08:38.355+05:30Divya,

I followed the lesser quantity recipe as well. the paneer balls came out pillowy soft, almost like a sponge. But my problem is - I didn't like the TASTE. I know - SHOCKING. I just didn't think it was sweet enough, and I didn't like the spongy texture of the malai balls. I regretted not adding sugar to the paneer!<br />Do you think maybe you cooked the paneer too much in the pressure cooker? They were very spongy when they came out of the cooker for me, when i squeezed them to get the sugar syrup out they looked like they were going to collapse, i had to be very ginger about it.<br />Unfortunately for me, even though everything worked out as a success at my first try, i'm just not happy with the taste. i'm a GULAB JAMUN girl =)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13989340321224075830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746440631729949558.post-75245259307611805202010-05-15T18:33:05.467+05:302010-05-15T18:33:05.467+05:30Hi Divya,

Honestly, I would agree that I am more better off taking pleasure in the store bought ones than slog making these at home ;)M Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516336256614081257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746440631729949558.post-36199239766871930712010-05-15T13:46:43.541+05:302010-05-15T13:46:43.541+05:30my fav too ...iam sure you must have enjoyed the c...my fav too ...iam sure you must have enjoyed the challege divya looks yum dearFoodLovershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005662494005635977noreply@blogger.com
