Notes

Keep stirring the milk mixture regularly to prevent burning at the bottom of the pan.
Adjust condensed milk to suit your preferred taste.
Do not keep bread in thickened milk for a long time because bread tends to get almost mushy, so always add bread just before serving.
Bread rasmalai tastes best when served chilled.
Do not skip saffron as it gives a nice golden colour to rasmalai and enhances the flavour as well.
