Ras malai or rossomalai(Template:Lang-bn) or Rasamalei (Template:Lang-or) is a dessert originating from the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent. The dessert is called rossomalai in Bengali language[1], ras malai in Hindi language[2] and Rasa Malei in Odia language .[3] It has been described as "a rich cheesecake without a crust".[4]
Though Ras Malai is made in different places, Comilla District in Bangladesh is known prominently.[5][6]
The sweet may be of Bengali origin; as claimed by K.C. Das Grandsons, it was invented by K.C. Das, but "Impossible to verify".[7] It is also a popular dessert in Pakistan.[8] The Sen brothers of Comilla under the "Matri Bhandar" brand also claim to be the original maker of the dessert.[6] Bangladesh has begun the process of registering Geographical indication (GI) for Rasmalai.[9]
Origin and etymology
It is believed to have originated somewhere in Eastern Indian subcontinent, presumably in Bangladesh, Indian states of Odisha and West Bengal region.[10] The K.C. Das Grandsons confectioners claims that it was invented by K.C. Das, but this claim is said to be "impossible to verify".[7]
The sweet maker "Matri Bhandar" in Comilla district in Bangladesh also claim to have created the dessert. Brothers Khanindra Sen and Manindra Sen started the Matri Bhandar brand in 1920 and the family have been producing the dessert ever since.[9]
According to The Diner's Dictionary: Word Origins of Food and Drink published by Oxford University Press "The term comes from Hindi raś 'juice', and malai 'cream'.[11]
Ingredients
Ras malai consists of flattened balls of chhana soaked in malai (clotted cream) flavoured with cardamom. Milk is boiled and a bit of vinegar or lime juice is added to split it. The whey is discarded and the milk solids are drained, cooled and kneaded into a dough. The dough is divided into small balls and the balls are cooked in hot water with a bit of rose water added. The balls are then cooked in milk with saffron, pistachios and kheer as stuffing.[12]
Variations
Different types of rasmalai can be found in different areas. In Dhaka and Rangpur, the rasmalais are similar in shape to the rasgullas.[13]
