NOOOOO
RASMALI Pops......
yehhhh.........
HOW's this ? my daughter's holiday today, i asked  why is today holiday she replied coz its chocolate lollipop day.
yummy juicy rasmalai meets chocolate......& magic begins




Ingredients

milk- 1/2 liter 
2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 1/2 cups water
2 tbsp cornflour powder
heavy bottom Pan
125 gm chocolate bar
4 tbsp milk
lollipop stick or small fruit fork






Boil 1/2 liter milk in a heavy bottomed over medium-high heat, As the milk comes to a boil, add the lemon juice slowly and stir the milk,curd will start separating, turn off the heat.drain the whey using a strainer line with muslin cloth.Wrap the curd in a muslin cloth, rinse under cold water, and squeeze well. This process takes out the sourness from the lemon.Taking the right amount of water out of the paneer is the most important part of this recipe...
place paneer on a dry, clean surface.
and knead the paneer & cornflour powder  for 3-4 minutes until the paneer is almost rolls into smooth soft dough.Divide the dough into small parts and roll them in smooth balls,when forming the balls, lightly press to make about 3/4 small patty shape.
Mix the sugar and water in a heavy bottom pan with lid on medium high heat and bring to a boil.Add the paneer balls and close the pan.turn the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes.Make sure the pan is large enough to accommodate the finished rasgullas patties,
as they will expand to about double in the volume while cooking.Close the heat.Take out the patties from the syrup.press it light to squeeze extra juice put it in refrigerator. 
Now boil some water in deep pan & in a small bowl that can float on water put chocolate & 4 tbsp milk. Put it in the pan & melt it & mix well.
Dip your lollipop stick or fork  into the melted chocolate.Push the chocolate-covered end of the stick into the middle of the rasmali. Dip your rasmalai pop straight down into the chocolate.Hold it sideways over the bowl and rotate it slowly as it drips.When it is done dripping, turn it upside down so that any excess chocolate stops dripping
place pop into foam block to dry.refrigerate them for at least 1/2 hour.
Decorate it with some cake decoration.


Make small patties so fork can easily hold it.
