In a pan, take 50g of Diabexy sugar. Add 2 cups of water and a pinch of cardamom powder. Heat until it boils to create a syrup.
Drop the paneer balls into the boiling syrup. Boil for 15 minutes until they double in size and become soft and spongy.
Your sugar-free white rasgullas are ready to serve. Enjoy warm or chilled.
Traditionally, rasgullas are soaked in sugary syrup, but this recipe used Diabexy sugar instead of refined sugar, a sugar substitute with a low glycemic load. This choice is significant because normal sugar can contribute to type 2 diabetes, weight gain, and other health issues. By using Diabexy sugar, the rasgulla remains sweet but with a reduced impact on blood sugar levels. This way, you get to enjoy a classic treat that fits into a health-conscious lifestyle.
