Ingredients

½ cup Ricotta Cheese
¼ cup Sugar
2 tsp Rose Syrup
2 tsp Ghee to grease
1 tbsp Pistachios crushed, any chopped/crushed nuts – as required to garnish

Instructions

Take half a cup of ricotta cheese and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl.
Mix them vigorously.
Microwave it for one minute. The sugar will melt, and the mix will be of pouring consistency.
Then microwave again for one minute and remove it from the microwave and mix it well.
Now microwave it again for 1.5 minutes and remove it. The cheese sugar mix will slowly thicken and will slightly grainy like below. Stir it back.
Microwave this for one more minute. After this, the cheese will be grainier than the previous stage. During microwaving, mainly after 3 minutes, the mix starts to pop out. That’s completely normal. Edges browning is also usual. Make sure you keep stirring the mix for every one minute and don’t let the cheese stick to the bottom.
Now add two tsps of rose syrup and mix thoroughly.
Microwaving after adding rose syrup is optional. I just cooked it for half more minute again.
Let the mix cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
Now grease your palms with ghee generously and take a small quantity of the cheese mixture and roll it into a round ball or as per your preference. You can use the traditional Bengali molds also. As I mentioned, I went with an oval shape.
You can either serve them fresh or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Notes

Adjust sugar as per your preference. But keep in mind that ricotta cheese is mildly sweet.
Instead of rose syrup, you can cardamom or saffron soaked milk for other flavors.
Depending upon the quantity and microwave setting, the cooking time might vary. Make sure you stir the mix for every one minute and cook until the cheese becomes granular. That’s the right stage.
