Home Made Ras Malai recipe by Mariam at PakiRecipes.com.
Dumplings made from cottage or riccotta cheese soaked in sweetened, thickened milk delicately flavored with cardamom.

3-2 oz ricotta cheese(or an equivalent amountt of freshly made Paneer)
10 oz powdered Confectioner's sugar
2 small packets Half and Half
1 tsp powdered cardamom Click to find more about cardamom

1/2 tsp rose water
2 tsp slivered almonds Click to find more about almonds

2 tsp 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 hrs 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 Click to find more about 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 hr.
You can either chill it or serve it at room temperature.
