SOrry the title should be Halwat or something..
I made this today for the first time. It's a dish from India. I didnt have the powdered milk and so I used milk, Philly cream cheese, butter, grated carrots, sugar and cardamon and raisens. It came out pretty good for a first try. A couple of questions...
What is the effect of the powdered milk? Does it thicken it better?
How long do you usually take to reduce it down? I guess mine took a couple of hours but can you reduce the cooking time?
Other spices to use? I know they add nuts, what else? saw some colorful bits (yellow and orange?) when I had this in a restaurant. what were those?
