Sach hi toh hai maa ke hath ka khana lajawab hota hai. Yeh toh thi mere dil ke baat ab Karte hai khane ki baat.

Angoori rasmalai is an Indian  dessert  consumed mainly in  India , as well as in  Pakistan  and  Bangladesh .  Angoori derives its name from Angoor which is  Hindi  for grape, signifying the shape and form, and also alluding to its sweetness.  The name  ras malai  comes from two words in Hindi:  ras , meaning "juice", and  malai , meaning "cream".  The dessert is made from  cottage cheese  which is then soaked in  chashni , a sugary  syrup , and rolled in fine sugar to form grape-sized balls. Ras malai consists of sugary white cream, or yellow-coloured (flattened) balls of  chhana  soaked in  malai  ( clotted cream ) flavoured with  cardamom .
