Malai Chop

Ingredients

  • Milk powder (1 cup)
  • Egg (1)
  • Baking powder (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Sugar (2 cups)
  • Cardamom (5–6)
  • Ghee (1 tablespoon)
  • Milk (1.5 liters)
  • Saffron (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Chopped almonds (for serving)

Method

  1. First, combine the milk powder and baking powder in a pot with the ghee and a well-beaten egg. Knead it well for 10–15 minutes. Make sure the dough is very smooth and lump-free. Shape the sweets into diamond (chamcham) forms. Keep in mind that these sweets will double in size after cooking, so shape them accordingly.
  2. In a pot, heat 1.5 liters of milk with 2 cups of sugar, a little saffron, and a few cardamom pods. When the milk comes to a boil, add the sweets. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Then cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes. Once cooled, sprinkle chopped almonds and saffron on top and serve.
