- When the milk starts boiling, add 5-6 strands of saffron and mix well. This will give the milk a beautiful yellow colour and will also enhance its taste.
- Add sugar and cardamom: Now add ½ cup sugar to the milk and boil it till it dissolves completely. Then add ½ teaspoon cardamom powder to it and mix it well.
- Let the Rasmalai biscuits soften by putting them in lukewarm water. Remove the biscuits from the water and put them in the milk. Now leave it to slowly immerse in the milk so that the biscuits absorb the milk and become tasty.
