- 1 ltr milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cups water
- 1/4 tsp elaichi powder

- Make sugar syrup by boiling water in a pan and adding 1/2 cup sugar. Stir frequently.
- When the syrup is done, it will stick between your fingers.
- Add kneaded milk curd into the boiling sugar syrup for 5 minutes.
- Strain the syrup from the milk curd.
- Boil the remaining milk and reduce to about 150 ml. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and stir till the sugar melts evenly.

- Get it off the stove and have it warm or chilled.
- If you like some crunch, pop in some roasted pistachios.
