Ingredients

1 liter whole milk
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (or vinegar)

Prepare Chenna

In warm milk, add lemon juice to cause it to curdle, filter, and mix until it's smooth.

Place balls in boiling syrup, cover, and simmer until the balls have doubled in size, 15 to 20 minutes.

Chill And Serve

Before serving, allow the rasgullas to chill in syrup.
