"Ras Malai" is a traditional Pakistani dessert enjoyed by people of all ages, all year round...Ayisha

Ingredients:
1 cup powdered milk
1 litre (4 cups) milk
2-3 tbsp. sugar (according to your taste)
1 tbsp. oil
1 egg
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Seeds of 1-2 cardamom *(see note)
Sliced pistachios or sliced almonds (or both) optional

*Note: If you can't find cardamom seeds, use 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder.

Instructions:
Combine the powdered milk, oil, baking powder and egg. Mix it throughly until it forms a dough. Make small "malai" balls out of it and flatten them a bit.

Next, boil the milk with the cardamom seeds (or cardamom powder, if using) and sugar (the amount of sugar is up to your taste, you can add more or even less than the amount given). Start adding the malai balls one by one. When the balls start rising a bit, reduce the heat and let them cook for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and place in serving dish. Serve "Ras Malai" chilled, and if desired garnish with sliced pistaschios or sliced almonds or a combination of both.

Makes 5 to 6 servings.

excellent recipe. makes a really light and tasty version of the classic pakistani dessert. great year round espcially summer because not too creamy and heavy. can make the malai balls a bit more dense by mixing 2/3 nonfat milk powder and 1/3 nido full cream milk powder.

oh well, all those so very difficult recipes of Ras Malai where we have to add cottage cheese and drain it and god knows what, it's much much easier to use powdered milk. amazing recipe, i just made one mistake earlier, i added too much baking powder.
