Hey Everyone!!!!
Last year I had an urge to make something other than the sheerkhurma and while looking into some recipes i came across this one. Its a big time hit. Tastes amazing!!!

This recipe yields around 20 to 24 depending upon the size you make.

Ingredients:

Milk                                  1 1/2 ltr

Sugar                                 13 to 15 tbsp

Cardamom                         2-3 slightly crushed

Nido milk powder              1 cup

Baking powder                  1tsp 

Oil                                      2tsp

Maida                                 1tbsp leveled

Egg                                     1

Method:

Mix in the milk,sugar and cardamom in a sauce pan and bring to a boil on low flame. Let it simmer for around 20 minutes to thicken.
Meanwhile mix together milk powder,egg,baking powder,oil and maida and make a medium soft dough. Now you have to be a bit quick and make small balls otherwise it'd be diffcult as the dough might get dry and start to crumble,(make sure you make the balls really small as the rise 3 times of their size).
Carefully drop the balls in the simmering milk, half cover the pot and leave for around 15 mins on low flame. They'll rise and come up to the surface. Take it off the flame. Garnish with pistachio and serve chill.

Happy cooking!!! =)
