Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare the Milk

Take a heavy bottomed kadhai, and heat 1.5 liters of full cream milk over medium heat. Continue hearing till the milk comes to a boil.

Description - Step 2

Simmer the Milk and add sugar

Stir the milk continuously so it does not stick or burn. After the milk comes to a boil, reduce the flame to low, and let it simmer.
Stir the milk continuously, so that a layer of skin does not form on top.
After 20-25 minutes, the milk will start to thicken and reduce in volume. When the milk reduces approximately to half the quantity and becomes creamy in texture, add 15-20 strands of saffron. Also add 6 tbsp of sugar. Stir well till the sugar dissolves.
