Ras Malai
For those who like Indian desserts, try this one. It is so simple it is untrue.1 cup of milk powder (cream powder if you can find it)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 litre of milk
sugar to taste - I use about a cupful
a few cardamom pods, seeds removed and powdered
about a tablespoon of rose water
Mix milk powder, baking powder and egg into a very stiff batter. You may need a couple of splashes of water. It should be firm enough to roll into small balls, maybe an inch across.
Heat milk, sugar and cardamoms to boiling point.
Simmer the small balls in the milk for a few moments and they will swell up. Add the rose water. Cool and pop in the fridge till cold.
Serve them cold.
I added some double cream to the milk to make them richer and I believe you can buy cream powder to make them even richer still but I haven't been able to see any in the shops.
OR if you are dieting, use skimmed milk powder, skimmed milk and sweetner. They will taste just as nice.

Yes I have my raspberries in including some golden varieties. I love raspberries but they are expensive to buy. Oh, and rhubarb is in - but then I do live in the rhubarb triangle
