Notes

**If don't have milkmaid use 1/2 cup milk and 2-3 tsp sugar (as per your taste)
**You can also make this on gas stove, use a thick bottom vessel and cook this mixture while stirring continuously on low flame till it becomes thick and set as said above.
** Time depends on your MW brand and its temperature my MW high temp. is 900, check yours and set time accordingly, I have 2 1/2 cup crumbled paneer if you have less the cooking time will get changed accordingly so first cook for 2 minutes check and then another 2 mins.
**Do not set in freezer or it will get hard.

This is very quick recipe, you can also use crumbled paneer / cottage cheese to make this recipe. If you don’t have crumbled milk then you can crumble the milk using vinegar / lime juice. Kids love this burfi, this is a healthy option for giving as a mid-day snack or in tiffin as a sweet. You can also make kalakand / milk burfi for guests.

Because of summer holidays kids are at home and need something to eat whole day. This is a good option to make and store in fridge. You can also make mix dal ladoos and store them to give a delicious healthy snack to your hungry little one.
