Ingredients
1.5CupsMilk Powder
400gramsCondensed Milk1 Can
4tablespoonButter
ΒΌteaspoonCardamom powder
Nuts for garnishing
Instructions
Heat butter in heavy bottomed vessel or non stick on a very low flame.
Once the butter melts, add the milk powder and keep mixing it without forming any lumps. Stir it for a couple of minutes.
Then add the condensed milk, cardamom powder and keep stirring it continuously. Stir it well to avoid any lumps.
The mixture will start to thicken, collect as one mass and start leaving the sides of the pan when stirring. This will take approx about 10-12 minutes.
Immediately turn off the stove and transfer the contents to a bowl. Let it cool.
Once it is warm to touch, start making balls and press it to make it like a cookie. Garnish it with a nut.
Once cooled completely, store it in an airtight container. If storing it for more than a week, keep it refrigerated.
Recipe Notes
Keep it only on a very low flame. Do not raise the heat. Keep stirring it frequently, else it will burn at the bottom.
The consistency of the dough, i.e. the mixture is very important. Do not keep stirring it. It will harden and become chewy if you keep it on the flame for a long time. In just about 10-12 minutes take it off the stove. It will still harden upon cooling.
Also do not serve this sweet immediately. Allow it to set. At first this might be chewy to taste. But after a couple of hours it will set perfectly.
Keep it refrigerated if you want to keep it for a week or so. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
