Ingredients
- Milk (whole fat) – 1 liter (¼ gallon)
- Sugar – ¼ cup
- Ghee – 2 tbsp
Instructions
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add milk (use full-fat milk to make a large quantity) and allow it to boil. Once it boils, mix it well.
- Allow it to form a thickened milk layer on top.
- Mix it well with milk. Now bring the flame to medium to avoid burning the milk.
- Again allow it to boil till it reduces to 1/2 by stirring and scraping the side of the pan from time to time.
- Now you can see the milk getting reduced into a thick paste.
- Once it becomes more thickened, add sugar and mix it well.
- Once the sugar melts, the mixture will become loosened again. Again, mix it and allow it to thicken.
- Add ghee and mix it well, and allow it to cook till it becomes semi-solid.
- When it becomes semi-solid, transfer it a bowl and allow to cool down. As it cools down, it will thicken over time.
