Malai Chop/Malai Sandwich
The recipe of malai chops or sandwiches looks much similar to Rashogolla, but these malai chop's are much more tastier than the conventional Rasgullas. This sweet is my personal favorite. The making of this heavenly sweet is little lengthy. And my guests always love this sweet, whenever I made these for them. Sometime they asked me to make this sweet for them. We can serve cham cham as plain cham chams garnished with nuts. We also make flattened rasgullas first, slit them into two halves and stuff it with channs or mawa and nuts to make sandwich. We can serve the Cham Cham soaked in freshly prepared Malai and garnish with nuts.
