Mini Ras-Malai

This Indian dessert doesn't need any introduction ! Contrary to its popularity,people generally hesistate to prepare them at home as its bit time consuming process(with some muscle need too )
Well i tried them first time too...In Mathura we use have smaller version of them called Malai-Laddoo...As a kid we loved them as there were no account of how many we had them in single scoop 

On google you will get different version like with eggs,or flour (some even uploaded store brought Ras-gullas just dunked in thick scented milk as home made Ras Malai  )but i recommend this one as even if your balls doesn't comes out successfully (which have very less chance),you will be able to at least taste it
