Instructions
1
Pour milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
2
Once boiling, add lemon juice. Stir gently until milk curdles slightly but remains grainy (not fully separated).
3
Continue simmering on medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and reduces to about half.
4
Add sugar and cardamom powder. Cook until the mixture thickens further and leaves the sides of the pan.
5
Grease a tray with ghee and spread the mixture evenly. Flatten the surface with a spatula.
6
Garnish with chopped pistachios/almonds. Let it set at room temperature or refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
7
Cut into squares or diamonds and serve. Store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
