- 2. Make sure the rasgulla balls have no cracks or openings, as there are chances of them breaking.
- 3. Make sure the sugar syrup is prepared in a broad vessel. It will be easy to soak the rasgulla balls in it.
- 4. The milk or malai is prepared in a broad vessel as well, so that the rasgullas can soak in the malai properly.
