Traditional Indian Milk Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Pour the full-fat milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

2. 2

   Once the milk starts boiling, add the lemon juice and stir gently. This will curdle the milk.

3. 3

   Continue to cook the milk, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reduces to about half its original volume.

4. 4

   Add the sugar to the thickened milk and mix well. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and starts leaving the sides of the pan.

5. 5

   Add the ghee and cardamom powder to the mixture, and stir well to combine.

6. 6

   Grease a plate or tray with a little ghee and pour the mixture onto it. Spread it evenly and let it cool.

7. 7

   Once cooled, cut the milk cake into desired shapes and serve.
