Ingredients
Method
5 steps- 1Bring the milk to a boil in a wide, heavy kadai on high heat, stirring so it does not catch.
- 2Lower to medium and keep stirring every couple of minutes, scraping the sides and folding the cream back in, until it reduces to half.
- 3Keep cooking, now stirring continuously, until it is as thick as condensed milk.
- 4Add the sugar. It will loosen, then thicken again. Cook, stirring, until it leaves the sides as a soft mass and turns a light caramel colour.
- 5Transfer to a bowl and cool. It firms as it cools. Keeps 5 days in the fridge.
Serve it like this
Serve a spoonful on a small plate or banana leaf, at room temperature.
