How to Make Indian Milk Cake?
Indian Milk cake is a very simple recipe, but it needs little patience and some muscle work. In the milk cake recipe, milk is boiled until it reduces to 1/3rd of its original volume. Then very little coagulant (lemon juice, alum powder, or citric acid powder) is added. After this, milk solid and whey slightly separates. You keep cooking milk solids and whey until almost all the moisture is absorbed.
Then sugar is added in batches and the mixture gets cooked with the sugar till all the liquid is absorbed again. Lastly, a little ghee is added in batches to give it oozing caramelized flavors. Finally, it is poured into a deep thick bottomed pan, and covered with a thick towel or rug. It is then kept aside for at least 4-8 hours to set at the room temperature. Read More…
