- Boil the milk in a large, thick-bottomed kadai till it thickens slightly. Add the alum (phitkari) to the thickened milk and stir continuously till the milk becomes grainy.
- Cook till most of the moisture evaporates and a solid mass remains. Add the sugar and mix well.
- Cook for five or ten minutes longer till the mixture thickens again. Grease an aluminium tray with ghee.
