Milk Cake Recipe | Perfect Alwar Ka Mawa Halwai Style - CookingShooking

Milk Cake, or Alwar Ka Mawa is an Indian Mithai Recipe, popular across India, loved by all. This Milk Based Sweet is made by Halwais or Sweet Makers by boiling the milk continuously until it reduces to half, after which an acid is added to form grains, and reduced further with sugar till it forms a dough like consistency. Later transferred into insulated boxes so that the sugar caramelizes in the center making two colors - White and Brown.
This two layer Indian Sweet is also called Ajmer ka Mawa Mithai and Kalakand, made first by Baba Thakur Das & Sons in Alwar, Rajasthan. Make this for Diwali this time, and enjoy homemade sweets without adulteration.
Ingredients:
Milk - 3 liters
Lemon Juice - 1/2 tsp OR Alum - 1/8 tsp
Sugar - 450g
Ghee - 80g
Oil - to deep fry
Pistachio - to decorate
Note: Best Served Fresh. Stays well for 7 days in an airtight box
Alum Powder is easily available offline

I have never tried cooking, but today, It was my second attempt at making Milk cake. I watched your video in both of my attempts. What I have learnt is that, while cooking something, like milk cake, Each and every word told by the experts matters soo much. So, it is important for us to understand even the smallest of protocol given to us and then try to replicate that advice while aiming for perfection. All thanks to you dude, today's Milk cake was soo delicious, soo yummy that I am thanking you after each and every bite. and the fun fact is...I have been able to save some bucks...xd Thank you, MR. Picasso!! In the market, the price of 1kg Milk cake is 450/kg. I would like to know, according to you how much does it cost to us while preparing 1kg Milk cake at home??
