Home made Milkmaid

Last week there was a thanksgiving potluck in my daughters school. I thought of a few dishes to make and had decided on masala vada. At the last minute I discovered that I was running low on channa dal and I had forgotten to buy extra. I thought hard as to what to do? That night I spoke to mother in law and she suggested that I make malai jamun with home made kova. I tried to make kova that night. I was tired and I wanted to finish the kova that night and make the jamun next day.Because of tiredness i finished the milk making milkmaid without adding sugar.
Making milkmaid at home is a little hectic with work involved but when u think about ingredients you need only milk .

Preparation time:50 min
Yields:1/2 cup

Ingredients:

• 4 cups milk

Method:

• Pour the milk in heavy bottom vessel (may or may not be non stick)
• Let the milk come to boil.
• After it comes to boil reduce the heat almost very low.
• Stir it every 5 min for 40 min.
• After 40 min when it will start to thicken (it needs to reduce to 1/8 the original quantity)
• At this point keep stirring it continuously.
• When it becomes thick switch off the flame .
• Cool and store it in fridge.
• You can use it to make coco fudge /kheer/rich gravies.
