Re: What desi mithai can you make at home?
Chips , its the easiest mithai to make ! takes just 10 minutes of prep and cooking time and about a hour in the fridge and its good to go !!!
This is how I make it:
Pour one can condensed milk in a non stick pan, dont boil it just luke warm it. If you like your sweets really sweet , add sugar to taste , otherwise condensed milk is good enough to provide sweetness to the mithai.
add in either powdered cardamom ( a pinch or two ) or Rose water essence ( half tsp ) or coconut essence or vanilla essence .. Choose one of these which ever you like the most.
add one and a half cup desiccated coconut and stir stir stir , until it has absorbed all of the condensed milk and become crumbly.
Shouldnt take more then 5 minutes .
Take it out into a plate , either flatten it in a deep dish and refrigerate it so you can cut it into squares later .
OR
divide this mixture into two and add food coloring of choice , mix it and when it cools , make small balls and drop them in dry desiccated coconut to get a nice white coating . Then refrigerate .
Enjoy !
