For making channa (at home)

Ingredients:

Milk: 1 liter
Water: 1 cup 
Sugar : 1 cup
Lemon Juice: 2 table spoon

Method:

Boil the milk in a vessel, when it is boiling add the lemon juice to it and mix it until the milk curdles. 

Keep stirring until the water and channa are completely separates. Strain the channa with a clean cloth. Tie the edges of the cloth together.  

Squeeze the excess water by hanging the cloth above the sink for 1 hour. 

Now knead the channa(which is very important) to make a smooth dough.

Divide the dough into small equal size balls and and shape into a smooth round ball to make rasgullas.

Now in a vessel, make the sugar syrup by adding the sugar and water. Now reduce the heat and add the rasgullas very carefully. Cover it with a lid and cook for 15 minutes. Stir it occasionally. 

Then put off the flame and let them cool. If you want you can add rose essence.
