        She explained to me how to do it.Then I made this sweet for my husband's birthday which happened a few days ago. I am posting this recipe In order to welcome this upcoming Tamil new year. Every year Tamil puthandu happens on  14 th April. Chithirai is the start of the year and is holidays for all kids. So try this quick sweet at your home and make kids happy.

       Rasmalai is nothing but Soft Indian cottage cheese made into balls and is dipped in rich reduced milk/Thick milk. But In this method, you are going to buy rasgullas at the store then prepare rabri or thick milk in which the cottage cheese is being dipped. So You don't have the headache of going through a long process of curdling the milk and wait to squeeze the water out. Then soften  and cook it through. If You have a guest at home you can make this while you guys are happily chatting.You have a choice either you can make at home or buy in stores.
