Important — this dessert contains nuts
Read this before you order if you or anyone at your table has a nut allergy.
Our Ras Malai is made off-site by a specialist sweet supplier — not in the Yum! Curries kitchen. It is finished with a pistachio garnish, and chopped almonds may be present. This dessert contains nuts and is not covered by our in-kitchen nut-free guarantee. Every other dish on the Yum! Curries menu is nut-free; only the desserts (Ras Malai and Gulab Jamun) are off-site and contain nuts. If you have a nut allergy, please skip this dessert and email allergens@yumcurries.com if you'd like dish-specific spec confirmation. See our full nut-free policy.
If you're not nut-allergic, this is one of the most-loved Indian desserts in the world — and ours is made the proper way: chenna pillows poached in lightly sweetened milk, infused with green cardamom and saffron, chilled, and finished with crushed pistachio. The texture is delicate, the cream is fragrant, and two pieces is the perfect close to a curry meal.
