Rasgulla

Picture -1
Paneer -200 gm
Maida -2 tspn
Sugar 2 cups
water- 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder -1 pinch 
Knead the paneer into  small dough using maida as in picture 1. Make a syrup out of the sugar into a one thread consistency. Can add cardamom powder now. Add the paneer balls (rasagulla balls) into the syrup and cook on the sugar syrup till well cooked (picture -2)

Serve with syrup and balls and a topping of chopped almonds or nuts. 

Few tips to make it softer and sweeter:
--------------------------------
1) knead the paneer with 2-3 tbspn of maida. (Dont use more of maida).. The more u knead the more softer it will be. U can feel the softness while rolling to balls
2) If using ready made paneer ( i used the same ;-)] add 2 tbspn of milk too while kneading.
3) Boil in pressure cooker for 1 whistle. Dont cook too much as it will make it harder and after the pressure subsided u can heat it on low flame for 3-4 min if needed

Never thot it is such an easy sweet to prepare.. Felt it very tougher when the paneer got harder the next day.
Try and Enjoy..
