CuisineIndian

Homemade milk cake — milk and sugar slow-cooked with ghee into a dense, grainy fudge that melts on the tongue.

Ingredients

Main

  • 7 cups whole-fat milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ tbsp desi ghee
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

  1. Cook. Reduce milk with sugar and ghee until thick and grainy. Set in a tray and cut when cool.

Pro tip: Scrape the pan sides often so the milk solids caramelise evenly.

The Story Behind This Dish

Milk-based mithai like this connects modern Diwali platters to village halwais who still stir milk for hours over wood fires.
