   Hi Fozi,

   While making the paneer, remove it from the heat as soon as the milk separates and add some ice to it. Cooling it down like this and rinsing it in more cold water will help make the ras malai softer. Also, knead the paneer very well.

   Hi Hetal,

   I had the same problem, after removing from the sugar water it was soft and spongy. But after chilling it it became hard. The last time I tried, I rinsed the paneer as mentioned in the recipe, but the paneer became too soft and runny, and was not able to make balls out of it. Maybe I removed to much sugar water after boiling it?

   Hi Neha,

   The paneer must be kneaded very very smoothly and the ball should not have any cracks when rolled. Also, you may want to reduce the pressure time a bit to see if that helps as well.

   Hi Zainab,

   If you knead the paneer really well and make sure that the balls you make have no cracks, it will not crack on the sides.

   Hi Manjit,

   It is called Varak. Maybe some larger Indian grocery stores or sweet shops may carry it. We got ours from India.

   Hi Asha,

   Sorry for the late reply… Yes, you can make the ras malai ahead of time. Just a note, the ras malai is a little hard (dense) straight from the fridge. You may want to leave it out for about 1/2 hr before serving.
