Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk is widely available in all major Pakistani grocery stores as 'thickened sweetened milk' or simply under international brands. Fresh milk, eggs, cinnamon sticks, and cloves are kitchen staples found in any local market or 'kiryana' store. Ground cinnamon is also easily sourced from local spice merchants or any supermarket's spice aisle.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, milk, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Place over the stove and bring the mixture to a gentle boil
- Whisk the eggs and extra yolks lightly in a separate bowl
- Slowly pour the whisked eggs into the simmering milk mixture in the pan
- Reduce the heat and keep it on low flame
- Stir gently with a wooden spoon occasionally, ensuring some texture remains
- Continue cooking until the mixture thickens to a spoonable consistency
- Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or glass dish
- Finish by sprinkling with a little ground cinnamon on top
