Milk Cream#SundayFunday

A dainty, delicate, taste so good, looks elegant , melt in mouth and is irresistible milk sweet. Milk cream is a must Christmas sweet in every East Indian household. Loved by all - children as well as adults. Its a sweet made with milk, the process is tedious and requires lots of patience but the end product is really worth the effort taken. Again this is another sweet which has no eggs, a complete vegetarian, eggless and gluten free.

Ingredients
A Liter Of Milk - (I used Full Fat milk)
400 Grams Tea Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cashew nut powder
1 Tablespoon Rose water
1 Tablespoon Ghee

Method

In a heavy bottomed base kadai or pan boil the milk and stir continuously till it reduces half of its quantity on a very low flame stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, taking care it doesn't stick to the bottom. 

Add the sugar, continue stirring till the sugar melts and again reduces , half of its quantity.

Now add the cashew powder and keep stirring it continuously, till it thickens, add ghee, continue stirring.

Once it starts leaving the sides take a teaspoon full and check if you can roll it into a soft ball if its rolled easily, the mixture is now ready or when touched does not stick to your hand.

Transfer to the greased plate and before it cools completely.

Form small balls and press into silicon moulds - shapes of your choice.

Take them out of the mold.

Store in a container, 4 to 5 days at room temperature and then refrigerate (not in the freezer).

My Notes

Stir this continuously on very low flame, to achieve a beautiful white color. Do not add too much of cashew powder if you want it white and creamy.

1 Tablespoon Oil
½ kg Beef Mince - can use Lamb/Mutton/Chicken
125 Grams Chana Dal - soaked

2 Tablespoons Mint leaves - finely chopped
For Frying

Method

In a pressure pan add the soaked and washed chana dal and cook till the dal is done but yet firm. Drain and keep aside.

In a same pressure pan heat oil add ginger, garlic and mince fry well on medium low flame, then add all whole spices, Kashmiri red chillies, onions, green chillies, add boiled gram dal, then fry well add salt , water and cover it with a lid and let it cook till the mince is done. Open the lid and dry up all the water. The mince should be dry and free of moisture. Cool it then grind it in small mixer jar little quantity at a time till it forms a smooth paste, Take it out on to bowl now feel for any whole spices ( because the some of the spices do not grind to a paste, however much time you will grind it) remove and discard them. Mix all well taste for salt, add finely coriander leaves and mix well.

Divide this into equal portions and roll it into a ball then flatten and make slightly thick kebabs. Smoothen the edges. Like wise make all and keep aside. At this stage you can freeze them ( see notes) .
For Frying 

Heat oil in broad frying pan.
In another bowl beat eggs add and pinch of salt and red chilly powder.
Dip each kebab in egg mixture, fry till golden on medium high flame on both sides. Serve with onion, tomato rings and sprinkle of mint leaves.

These are so soft and mouth melting, handle them gently while serving. Enjoy with green chutney or Sriracha sauce.

My Notes

At this stage you can freeze ( see notes) them in a single layer in a tray when they harden then store in a airtight container.
When you want to fry them., Dip them egg and shallow fry in hot oil. ( all is cooked so fry in hot oil) Do not thaw them or else it will disintegrate when you are frying.
