I am in a small town in Canada where there are no 'indian mithai shops'. I read your recipe, followed it step by step literally (my iphone is all sticky with sugar syrup) and the results were so good I could not even believe it. My husband and my 6 year old kid ate them away - straight out of the cooker! You are awesome! Thanks so much.

They're still tasty and soft and spongy and doubled in size from the raw balls. But not round (as in spherical), they flattened a bit. Any idea where I went wrong?<br />Also, I mixed the fresh chhana with store bought ricotta and cottage cheese. Followed through your recipe and dried it as mentioned.Rashmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329177992022835639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-57731616839205306112014-02-04T11:45:05.885-05:002014-02-04T11:45:05.885-05:00Depends on the milk.

Today I am contacting you because I too am trying to do my part in getting people to eat and live healthier. In 2008 I set on a quest to look for the ideal cooking pot, one that would give me all the nutrients from the food being cooked without adding its own ingredients or contaminants. It was a personal happening that led me to do this and all my research pointed out in one direction -- Pure Clay. After several years of research and travel I set out to make my line of pure clay cooking pots and their made in the USA. I had benefited so much from cooking in these pots that I had to share it with the world. <br /><br />We choose to keep our raw material pure because the health benefits are overwhelming this way and greatly surpass that of cookware made from other kinds of manufactured clay like ceramic etc. I have come to read and love your blog greatly and would like you to consider taking part in our Affiliate Program so we can together promote this extremely healthy way of cooking to all your readers. You can find all the information about our cookware at miriamsearthencookware dot com or PureClayCookware dot com and sign up for the affiliate program by clicking on the affiliate tab on top. <br /><br />And oh by the way we’re giving out pots to those who sign up early and the list is quickly filling up, I really hope you can be a part of it. We need your help in bringing back to life this beautiful, healthy, extremely eco-friendly method of cooking, it goes so well with your theme of helping people eat healthy, so do consider joining us. <br /><br />Good luck with your blog.<br />Miriam Kattumuri <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827109867430068376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-56406042727585095182013-11-11T04:41:34.137-05:002013-11-11T04:41:34.137-05:00Rasgulla looks yummmmmmmmmm.
