Rasgulla Chaat (with frozen rasgulla)

This recipe uses frozen rasgullas to make super easy rasgulla chaat. The soft chena with all the toppings almost tastes like eating a dahi bhalla chaat but minus all the efforts.

Ingredients

8 rasgulla frozen, I use Vadilal brand
2 cups yogurt plain whole milk yogurt
4-5 tablespoons water
2-3 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon kala namak
2 tablespoons mint chutney
2 tablespoons tamarind chutney
chaat masala, red chili powder as needed, to sprinkle
1 tablespoon sev
2-3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
6-8 papdi optional

Instructions

Thaw 8 rasgullas first. The package that I used (Vadilal) had instructions to keep in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, take the rasgullas out of the package and drop them in a bowl of fresh water for 6 to 8 hours. Put that bowl in the fridge.
After 8 hours, take the rasgullas out one by one, squeeze each rasgulla between your palms to take out excess water from them. Then place the rasgullas on your serving plate.
Whisk 2 cups yogurt (plain) using a wire whisk until it's smooth. Then add some water to thin it out, I add around 4 to 5 tablespoons. Then add 2-3 teaspoons sugar and ½ teaspoon kala namak. Mix everything together, taste test and adjust the salt and sugar as needed.
Now, spoon the prepared yogurt over the rasgullas covering them from all sides. Take 2 tablespoons mint chutney and drizzle it all over the rasgullas. Then take 2 tablespoons tamarind chutney and drizzle it the same way.
Sprinkle chaat masala and red chili powder all over. Then sprinkle 1 tablespoon thin sev over the rasgullas. Also add 2-3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds on top. I like to place some whole papdis on the side (6 to 8) but you can also crush them and sprinkle all over.
Serve rasgulla chaat immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Prep for this in advance, you can actually thaw the rasgullas couple of days in advance and just keep them ready in the fridge. Night before your party, soak them in fresh water and keep the bowl refrigerated overnight or you can do that in the morning of your party.
