Milk-Based Sweets

Milk is often used in sweet-making. It is either boiled for prolonged periods until it thickens, or is converted to a type of fresh cheese (paneer) by coagulating it with lemon juice.RABRI or RABADI is milk at a quarter of its original volume, eaten as a thick, creamy pudding, or as a sauce for sweets such as ras malai.

Khoya, a fudgy solid mass, is milk at an eighth of its original volume. It is the main ingredient in many milk-based sweets.

Chenna is paneer sweetened with sugar and is the ingredient on which rossogolla and sandesh are based.
