Milk cake is a traditional Indian sweet made from milk, and is delicious in taste. Its specialty is its light brown texture and creamy taste. Let us learn the easy method of making it at home.

Milk Cake Recipe

Material:

• Full cream milk – 1 liter
• Lemon juice or vinegar – 2 tbsp
• Sugar – 1 cup
• Ghee – 2 tbsp
• Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
• Pistachios or almonds – 2 tbsp (for garnishing)

Method of making:

1. Tearing Milk:
   First of all, boil the milk in a heavy bottom pan. When it boils, reduce the flame and slowly add lemon juice or vinegar. The milk will start curdling and will become chhena.
2. Filter Chhena:
   Strain the curdled milk through a muslin cloth and tie it in a cloth and hang it to remove excess water.
3. Cooking Chhena:
   Heat ghee in a non-stick pan. Add chhena in it and cook on low flame while stirring for 5-6 minutes.
4. Adding Flavor:
   Now add sugar and cardamom powder into it. Mix well until the mixture starts leaving the pan.
5. To set:
   Grease a steel plate or tin with ghee. Spread the mixture in it and add chopped pistachios or almonds on top. Press gently.
6. chill:
   Cool it by keeping it at room temperature for 2-3 hours or in the refrigerator. Then cut into desired shapes and serve.

Suggestion:

• Use only full cream milk for creamy taste.
• Adding saffron improves both the color and taste.
• Do not overcook chhena otherwise the sweet may become dry.

Milk cake is not only delicious, but the sweetness of Indian culture is also hidden in it. This sweet beautifully reflects the simplicity and tradition of a great artist like Amitabh Bachchan.
