People think making sweet is a hassle and think rasgulla will be really difficult.
Its a myth friends, I have tried and you guys can try to.

1. Put the milk in a container
2. Boil the milk
3. Once boiled sqeeze lemon and  mix it well and curl the milk.
4. You can see the fat seperating from the milk.
5. If u can see good lumps in the liquid u know its done.
6. Now take a strainer put the muslin cloth over and seive it to seperate the liquid from the solid.
7. Wash it with cold water. ( need to rinse properly to take out the sour flavor)
8. Squeeze th muslin cloth and try to take out the rest of the liquid.
9. Tie it tightly and hang somewhere for atleast 30 min. (Needs to dry thoroughly)
10.Till then  can make the syrup (chasni) for the rasgulla.
11. Add equal amount of sugar and water in a pressure cooker, also put cardamom for the flavor.
