Hello everybody,


Had a long break. During this break I hardly cooked. I was under special treatment :) Now, its only me and my daughter left at home all day. Enjoying her activities and company.


Ok. I am back with a sweet. When my MIL visited me when it is confirmed that I am conceived, she made and brought this for me. I wanted to give a try on my own.


Ingredients:
Milk - 2 liters
Jaggery - 200 grams (adjust)
Cardamom Powder - 1/4 tsp


Method:
Roughly powder the jaggery. Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed vessel. I used cooker bottom. Once boiled keep stirring the milk and take care not to overflow it. Scratch the sides and bottom now and then and stir the milk well. You will find the milk thickens first and after some time curdle. At this stage almost the milk will be 1/4th of the original quantity. Add the jaggery and keep stirring. Add the cardamom powder. The mixture should be soft and moist. Switch off and let it come to room temperature.


Note ~ The mixture will turn little hard once it comes to room temperature, so take care while you are switching off the heat.


WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. HAVE A BLAST!!!
