🍳 How to Make Milk Cake – Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Boil the Milk

1. Heat 1 liter milk in a heavy-bottom pan.

2. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the sides.

Step 2: Curdle the Milk Lightly

1. When milk reduces to ¾, add 1 tbsp lemon juice.

2. Milk should curdle very lightly (not fully like paneer).

3. You should see small grains (danedar texture).

Step 3: Cook the Milk Mixture

1. Add 1 cup sugar.

2. Mix and cook until it becomes thick.

3. Add 2 tbsp ghee and cardamom powder.

4. Continue cooking on low flame until the mixture becomes dense.

Step 4: Caramel Flavor (Optional but Halwai Style)

1. Remove 2 tbsp mixture into another pan.

2. Heat until it turns brown.

3. Add it back to the milk mixture and mix well.

Step 5: Set the Milk Cake

1. Grease a steel container with ghee.

2. Pour the mixture inside and press gently.

3. Cover and keep it for 6–8 hours to set completely.

Step 6: Demould and Cut

1. Once set, cut into blocks or squares.

2. Enjoy your soft, grainy halwai-style Milk Cake!
