Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1.5 litres skimmed milk
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare the Milk Mixture:
- In a thick-bottomed vessel or non-stick pan, pour in the skimmed milk.
- Keep the flame on medium and continuously stir the milk to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- As the milk simmers, scrape the cream from the sides and stir it back into the milk.
- Place a wooden ladle across the top of the pan to prevent spillage.
- Allow the milk to reduce completely, which may take around 1 to 1.5 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Forming the Milk Solids:
- Once the milk has thickened and become solid like halwa or palkova, let it cool down slightly.
- Transfer the milk solids onto a plate and allow them to dry under the sun for at least one day.
- Grind to Powder:
- Once the milk solids are completely dry, grind them into a fine powder using a blender or mixer grinder.
- Add 1 cup of sugar to the powder and blend it again to ensure it mixes well.
- Sieve and Store:
- Sieve the milk powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Transfer the powdered milk into an airtight container for storage.
- Use within 3-5 days if stored at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a month.
