Rasmalai

I made this one after dinner today accompanied by my hyperactive baby who simply refused to hit the bed. He had slept in the afternoon and I knew that it would be long time before he decides to sleep. Even I was not very sleepy. So I thought that i'll do some cooking to keep both of us engaged. Rasmalai was next on my to-do list and rasmalai it is. We had our share of this late night dessert and it was simply great. Decided that ill try more of midnight cooking in the days to come.
