Here's a recipe I am going to be making tomorrow for French Class (it is a Nepalese dish though, cause it is foreign day or something):
1 liter Whole Milk
2 tsp White Vinegar
1 1/2 C Sugar
3 C Water
Rasbari or Rasbury
Rasbari is classic example of milk based dessert. This classic treat is famous through out the South Asia. In India, it is commonly known as Rasgula.
Preparation
1. Bring the milk to a boil and add vinegar to the boiling milk to separate the whey. Throw away the liquid part by sifting the stuff onto a muslin cloth. Pour some cold water over the curd to cool and wash it. Discard the water and hang the cloth for 15-20 minutes to let the excess water drip off. Put the curd in a food processor or blender and blend at high speed to get a smooth consistency. You may add just a little (1 tsp or so) water while blending, if the curd is too dry and will not blend. Be very careful so as not to add any extra water. Remove the paste and make small balls (1-2" in diameter).
2. Boil water in a wide vessel. Make sure that there is at least 2-3" of water in the vessel. If not, add more water and increase the quantity of sugar proportionately. Add sugar to the boiling water to make a light syrup.
Continue boiling the syrup and gently drop the curd balls in the boiling syrup. Cook the balls in the boiling syrup for 30-40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the stuff cool down. Put the balls and the syrup in a storage container and refrigerate (don't freeze). Serve cold.
I just rummaged through a bunch of Nepalese recipes and picked the one that seemed easiest to make. Sounds unpleasant. I know I'm not trying it.

Ok, I made the curds (a LOT of them) and they are draining in a cloth, hanging over my sink. Hahaha, I put a note saying "Don't touch my curds!" with a mean face on it, so my parents would stay away. I gotta go finish this.

AHG! This is horrible. I was in the blending stage, and I added too much water, completely ruining it. Whatever, I'm not trying this again, screw the grade.

Oh, that last post I made was the last update. I abandoned the project after that. But, I am so damn curious. Sometime in the next week or two I am gonna try this again. I'll keep you posted.
