Hi Gloria, I tried your recipe but my rasgullas turned out to be hard. Can you let me know where could I have gone wrong?
I used homemade paneer for preparing rasgulla.
Thanks,
Swati
Homemade paneer made it so..you have to use the chenna after curdling milk and collecting it..follow the recipe to the t you will succeed
