Cooking Tips

• Cook over a low flame to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Chopped nuts and cardamom powder can be added.
• The time to form the mixture into a dough or single mass varies from 3 to 10 minutes. It depends on the pan, the flame and the milk powder used.
• Do not overcook. Remove the dough from the pan once it forms a single mass. If you cook it too long, it will become hard.
