Cooking Tips
- Cook over 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 a pan, 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.
