Pro Tips & Suggestions

Expert advice for the best results

Ensure the oil is not too hot, or the cheese balls will brown too quickly on the outside without cooking through.

Adjust the sugar syrup consistency according to your preference. A thicker syrup will result in a stickier Rasomadhuri.

Cardamom can be substituted with saffron for a different flavor profile.
