Sweet Curd (Mishti Doi)

Ingredients :

1. Skimmed milk- 500 ml
2. Sugar- 5 tbs
3. Water
4. Earthen pot
5. Curd- 1 tbs


Procedure :

Heat the milk and 2 tbs of sugar in a deep bottom pan in a low flame. Keep on stirring it. Heat it till the milk reduces to half and turn a little brown. Next add a little water to the rest of the sugar and heat it until the mixture turns light brown in color. Now add this sugar syrup to the milk and boil it for 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove it from the pan and let it cool down. When the milk becomes lukewarm pour it  through a  sieve  (to remove the malai from the milk) into the earthen pot and add curd to it. Set aside the mixture in a casserole so that it will remain in a constant temperature and do not shake it  for a day and your sweet curd is ready.

P.S one can also use condensed milk (milkmaid) for this recipe.
