Rasa malai - A pakisthani delight

Rasa malai is a sweet dish loaded with nuts milk and milk solids  . Its one of the most sort out sweet in Pakistani  menu . As the topic was chanelling towards Pakistani cuisine for this months the Muslim Food Blogger Challenge !, i am soo excited  to come back to blogging , googling it did take my time .. most of the dishes are so much familiar ... i just couldn't decide which one to prepare .. that's when i realised i always wanted to try this recipe. 

I love easy sweets and when its fuss free and quick to get on the table where i could always dig in . I love  sweets especially if they have nice pure ghee touch to it... and when it comes to desi or paki sweets its sure to have some   ghee to it. .

I have googled  some recipes  and just came down to this one.  Rasamalai is as authentic  Pakisthani sweet as it is here in India. This is easy and no flop recipe . The similarities in the dishes is enormous so one cant really say the differences .
Do check out the rest of the recipes from this months  participants.
