rasmalai
Sweet cheese dumplings
Rasmalai is an Indian dessert consisting of soft, spongy cheese dumplings soaked in sweetened, cardamom-flavored milk.
The dumplings are made from chhena (fresh curd cheese), flattened into discs, and simmered in cream thickened with pistachios and saffron.
It's a staple at celebrations and Indian restaurants: We ordered rasmalai for dessert.
