Ingredients

Missing something?

  • No milk powder? Use khoya (mawa).
  • No milk? Use milk powder mixed with water, or diluted tinned milk.
  • No butter? Use ghee or oil.
  • No sugar? Use jaggery (gur) or honey, added gradually.

Method

  1. Grease a small tray or 15 cm tin.
  2. Heat the milk, ghee and sugar in a non-stick pan on low heat until the sugar melts.
  3. Add the milk powder and stir hard to remove lumps.
  4. Cook on low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring all the time, until it forms a soft dough that leaves the sides of the pan. Stir in the cardamom.
  5. Spread into the tray, press the nuts on top and leave for 1 hour to set. Cut into squares.
