Ras malai or rossomalai is a dessert originating from the Indian subcontinent. The name ras malai is the Hindi cognate which comes from two words in Bengali: rosh, meaning "juice", and molai, meaning "cream". It has been described as "a rich cheesecake without a crust". The sweet is of Bengali origin; according to K.C. Das Grandsons, it was invented by K.C. Das.
The Angoori Ras Malai is a modern variation of Rasmalai popular Bengali Sweet Dish. In this dessert, the Paneer or Cottage Cheese are made into small round balls the size of grapes (that is why the name Angoori).
