Milk cakeAlso known as “Alwar's Milk Cake”, is a traditional Indian dessert made especially on festivals. This sweet is made from milk, sugar and ghee and is very wonderful.
Material | amount |
---|---|
Full cream milk | 2 liters |
Sugar | 1 cup (as per taste) |
Lemon juice or alum | 1 tbsp |
Ghee | 1 teaspoon (to grease plate or tin) |
cardamom powder | 1/4 teaspoon (optional) |
Boil 2 liters of milk in a heavy bottom pan on medium heat.
Keep stirring the milk continuously so that it does not look down.
When the milk remains about half, add a little lemon juice or alum to it, so that the milk is slightly torn (not completely).
This will provide special granular texture to milk cake.
Now add sugar to taste and keep stirring continuously.
The mixture will begin to thicken and separate from the edges.
If you want, you can add cardamom powder to it.
Grease a plate or tin with ghee.
Pour the prepared mixture in it and make it equal with a spoon.
Now let it cool 5-6 hours or all night.
When the dessert is completely cold and set, cut it into the desired shape.
If you want from above, garnish with dry fruits.
Never cook the milk on high flame, otherwise it may be bottom.
While tearing the milk, keep in mind that it torn lightly, otherwise the taste can be spoiled.
The longer the milk cake is cooked, the better texture comes.
