Kesar Ras Malai is a sumptuous Indian dessert that embodies the essence of luxury and indulgence. It begins with delicate, soft cheese dumplings, known as "chenna" or "paneer," which are gently cooked in sweetened, saffron-infused milk until they soak up all the rich flavors. The addition of kesar, or saffron, lends a vibrant hue and a distinctive floral aroma, elevating the dish to a regal status.
