Well sharing my recipe for making perfect balls for desserts. This is just a base recipe, there are so many desserts that can be made using these balls. Rasmalai, Komola Bhog, Rasgulla Payesh, Rasgulla Cake ... and much more.

Instructions

Start by heating a pan and pour the milk and allow it to boil properly. Keep stirring it so that it doesn't get stick at the bottom.
Once the milk has come to boil turn off the gas and add 2 tsp of vinegar, stir it gently and wait for the magic to happen.
Leave it untouched for a minute or two or until the milk has curdled properly.
Drain the cheena using a fine piece of thin cloth. Run it under cold water until the smell of vinegar fades away.
Now comes the most important step, kneeding of cheena should be done properly and gently. It would take arond 8 minutes or so.
After kneeding roll it properly and make equal size of balls.
Heat pan and add sugar and water for preparing sugar syrup. Once the syrup is prepared, add balls to it. Cover it and bring it to boil on medium heat for 10 mins.
After 10 minutes turn off the gas and do not open the lid for another 10 minutes.
After 20 minutes open the lid and transfer them to another vessel.
Now its totally your choice whether to eat just like that or use it for making Rasmalai or any other dessert.
For making Rasmalai dip the balls in milk instead of water.
