Ras Malai

Soft chenna cheese discs soaked in chilled saffron and cardamom-scented reduced milk for a luxurious dessert.

Ingredients

• 400g chicken thighs
• 400g naan bread
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 2 tbsp ghee
• a generous handful of fresh spinach
• a handful of fresh curry leaves, chopped
• heavy cream, to taste
• 2 cups coconut milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with ghee.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the roti and ground coriander until evenly combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, blend the lemon wedges with the whole milk until smooth and well incorporated.

4. 4

   Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

5. 5

   Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 40 mins.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.
