1
Combine paneer, ricotta, flours and baking soda and knead firmly until the cheese dough is shiny and pliable.
2
Shape into 16 balls, incorporating a piece of sugar cube into the middle of each one.
3
Boil the sugar and water together and simmer for 5 minutes to make a syrup.
4
Put half the syrup aside to cool in another container.
5
Bring the rest of the syrup to boil and lower the heat to simmer.
6
Lower the cheese balls in gently and simmer on very low heat.
7
Every 15 minutes or so you add a half a cup of the cooled syrup and 2 tablespoons of COLD water.
8
You repeat this until you have used up the syrup and the cheese balls are twice their original size.
9
Then take everything off the heat and gently stir in the flavouring essence and spoon the syrup over the cheese balls.
10
Leave this to cool and serve at room temperature garnished with the nuts.
11
Do not refrigerate, as this toughens the rasgulas.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
