Hi Pranoti,
Try google search and you will get many conversion tables. Guess that won't be hard. For your question about granulated sugar, check this wiki link.

Hi sudha,
Thanks for tried this recipe.Usually it sets in 35 minutes.If it doesn’t i’ll give some tips.
1. Use only full fat ricotta cheese.
2. Ovens may vary .so, bake the ricotta cheese in 400 degree .
3. Add 3 spoons(normal dinner spoon) sugar for 1 lb(almost)ricotta cheese.If u add lots of sugar ,it makes brown while baking the cheese.

Hi Kavi..
Thank’s for giving a thought to my suggestions and posting few more pics.Yep,now it looks even more delicious!!!..Those Rasamalai’s r mouth watering..Again one more suggetsion if u don’t mind,in the last pic u cm to have covered the back ground more than the bowl.Zoom them well..so that the bowl alone is visible with a slight depiction of the background..That way the Rasamalai’s would be even more tempting.I really admire the pics taken by Mullai mam..They look very very appealing.My pics looks dull when compared to theirs..These days trying my level best to meet her standards.(hehhe..appuram avangalakum ennakum enna vitheysamnu aiyudum ella??)

Hi,
Thank you Mullai . Radha thanks for your nice advice.when i’ve posted my husband asked me the same question.’why did u take in black background?’.First time,so i made mistake.I took picture in small bowl with little milk & more malai ,but it doesn’t come well.I made this for diwali.I’ll make rasmalai today & post picture tomorrow.bye.

Hi Kavi.. I wish I could give this a try but all the ingredients listed by u r to be bought..So shall try to buy this weekend and get back to u with the results. Btw,few suggestions,if u don't mind..U have posted a fantastic dish but then rasamalai is not to be seen,it's fully covered with the milk,cashews and almonds.I very well understand that it has to be immersed in milk.U can do one thing post 2 different pic ,one with rasamalai partially immersed(that way u can c the rasamalai) and the other as shown above with a bright background. I had done this mistake when i had posted for the very first time(Beans paruppu usili).It was totally dark and then on, as per my husband's advise i used to take pics in a white background and that has been a standard background till today. Hey kavi..just a suggestion.pls do not mistake me..
Cheers
Radha Arvindh
Hi Kavi,
