Milk cake is a special favourite sweet for sweet lovers. This traditional Indian sweet prepared from milk adds sweetness to every occasion. Milk cake is easily available in the market, but if you make it at home, its taste becomes even more amazing. Let's know the easy recipe to make delicious milk cake at home.

Material:

– 1 liter full cream milk

– 1 cup sugar

– 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to curdle the milk)

– 2 tbsp ghee

– Pistachios or almonds (for garnishing)

Method:

1. Boil the milk: First of all, put the milk to boil in a heavy bottom vessel. While boiling the milk, keep stirring it continuously so that it does not stick to the bottom of the vessel.

2. To curdle milk: When the milk boils well, slowly add lemon juice to it and keep stirring. Adding lemon juice will cause the milk to curdle. When the milk curdles completely, reduce the flame of the gas.

3. Thicken the mixture: Now keep cooking the curdled milk on low flame till its water almost dries up. Keep stirring it till the mixture thickens and looks like pudding.

4. Add sugar and cardamom powder: When the milk mixture thickens, add sugar and cardamom powder to it. Keep cooking it till the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns light brown in colour.

5. Add ghee: Now add ghee to this mixture and mix it well. Adding ghee adds shine and moisture to the milk cake, which makes it more delicious.

6. Let it set: Pour the prepared mixture into a greased plate or thali and flatten it. Let it cool and set for 3-4 hours.

7. Decoration and serving: Cut the milk cake into your favorite shape and decorate it with pistachio or almond pieces on top. Now your delicious milk cake is ready to serve.

Special Tips:

– If you want the color of the milk cake to be darker, then you can increase the cooking time a little.

– For a more rich taste, you can also add some khoya to the mixture.

Health benefits:

Milk cake uses a lot of milk, which is a good source of calcium and protein. There is a different pleasure in making this sweet with your family during the festive season. Especially if it is made at home, then cleanliness and health are also taken care of in it.

So this time on any special occasion, instead of ordering sweets from the market, make delicious milk cake at home and surprise everyone.
