This time in Diwali, if you want to eat homemade sweets, then you can try milk cake. Actually, the specialty of milk cake is that it is prepared instantly at home. It contains only milk, vinegar and four spoons of sugar and ghee. Only these things are needed. Nothing more than this, Amitabh Bachchan also cuts milk cake on his birthday. Because, its taste is quite wonderful and there is no need to add much sugar or all these things.
For this, first of all you need to take 3 kg milk. If you want to make more then you can take 5 kg. After taking milk, pour it in a vessel until it becomes a little thick like rabri. Keep running till then. Be careful not to make it completely thick. This means that 60% of the milk has to be dried.
When it becomes 60% completely dry, you have to add citric acid in it. Keep in mind not to use lemon or vinegar. Otherwise there will be sourness in the sweets and the food will not taste at all. That’s why citric is available in the market and it is very cheap, you should bring it.
After this add at least 2 spoons of citric acid. Now you will see that the milk has slowly started curdling, but it is already like rabri. That’s why it won’t burst completely. Rather, it will be very granular and thick like cream. You will feel that it is absolutely rubber.
After this, stir it again and add at least 2-3 spoons of sugar in it. You can also add a little cardamom and pistachio powder. Put it in and stir again. You will see it gradually turning golden brown. If you want, you can also add a little saffron.
After this you have to put it in a cake box. If it is of aluminium. Even better is the one in which you bake cakes. Just put it in there, close the box tightly and cover the box with a quilt or some thick cloth and leave it for at least 10 hours.
After 10 hours it will have got complete rest and it will be completely set. Then you take it out like a cake and cut it into slices. Now you can cut the slices as per your wish, whether small, big or long and can easily store it for 1 minute.
