May this Basant Panchami, Maa Sarastwati bestows her colors of knowledge wisdom and strength upon everybody. Happy Basant Panchami to all with lots of love and happines.

Yellow, the color of happiness, joy and prosperity. White, the color of purity and peace. When both combines, magic happens!
Made Rasmalai as Basant special with the help of three steps to have that perfect Color, Texture and Taste.
First step to make rabri from milk by adding saffron to turn milk in yellow color.
Second step to curdle milk with lemon, draining it. Then, kneading to make round shape white discs.
Third step to make hot sugar syrup to put round shaped discs in it. Then draining of the absorbed sugar syrup and finally putting them into prepared milk rabri.
Combined both the yellow and white colors that makes this dish COMPLETE!
