Tamku’s Sugarfree Ras-malai

Origin: Ras-malai, a beloved Indian dessert, has its roots in the eastern regions of India, particularly Bengal. It is believed to have been first created in Kolkata as an experiment by the famous sweet shop KC Das. The desert consists of soft, spongy paneer (cottage cheese) balls soaked in a rich, creamy milk sauce flavored with cardamom and saffron. Over time, Ras-malai has become a staple in Indian cuisine, enjoyed during festivals and special occasions.
