Things to know

• If you want more good taste, use fresh milk instead of canned or freezed.
  
  
• Keep an eye on the milk for rasmilia also while you are preparing channa balls. Your ignorance may burn it and spoil the sugary taste that you relish while having it.
  
  
• Never open the pressure cooker when it is emitting out steam in a great pressure rather you should wait till it cools down little bit. Open the lid when its steam is exhausted or else it may burst due to the high pressure of steam.
  
  
• Do not press the channa so hard that it may break down.
  
  
• Rasmalia gives full taste when it is chilled so give good time to this dish to be cooled down properly.
