Hi Clyde,
Thank you so much for your recipes. This Christmas I've tried the Milk Cream, but it has turned out soft. I put it back on the fire and stirred it quite a bit, but it still remains soft. I think I've added a little more of the cashew nuts than required. Is there any way that I can harden it?

Thank you so much for some incredibly comforting and easy recipes. FOr someone who never stepped a kitchen till she turned 30 - this has been a fabulous resource for me! I've tried the ambotik, sorpotel, milkcream and the prawn curries - and yum! absolutely delicious. The pictures accompanying make all the difference! Please keep the recipes going - its seriously a lifeline for us who don't have access to food like this at home.
Cheers,
San

@ Faye

you need to break it up, butter your hands and knead it

Smaller the quanty you knead the faster it will be!

Hi Clyde,
I tried the milk cream and it tastes great, but I made a big mistake by kneading it and then not molding it immediately, i left it in a vessel and by evening it was hard as rock!!!
Any solutions as to how I can soften it to ,mould?
Thanks a lot

2010-12-05T23:14:16.206-08:00

@ olivia

whenever you make a goan sweet or a goan christmas sweet remember it will take up your entire day

if you want it to be white, it has to be on the slowest flame possible

it should be continuously stirred so that it never touches or gets stuck to the bottom

and this means your gonna have to give a lot to the sweet, if you get tired turn it off and start later, but don't turn up the flame, and voila hours later you'll have a awesome white milk cream

wish you good luck!

2010-11-27T22:43:29.377-08:00

@ Marz, theres no curdling actually, after you add the cashewnuts it looks like its curdling, but dont give up, keep stirring and after soon time it will all come back together! :) All the best!!!

2010-05-05T23:11:04.557-07:00

Hi Clyde,
I live in Australia and was lucky to stumble upon this site. I use to miss all the dishes that a neighbour aunty would make and send over to my house so that we could taste the same (my mom used to go nuts, as we are mangaloreans but I always loved Goan food more). I tried out a couple of the recipes like the prawn and ladyfinger curry, caldine and they really turned out well. My hubby and by BIL both loved it. I'm trying the milk cream today. I was a die hard fan of the ones my cousins use to make @ Christmas (can't wait till Christmas). Will keep you posted on how they turn out.
Never really stepped in the kitchen when living with my parents, so you can imagine how much good authentic recipes mean to me (they remind me of home). A big "THANK YOU" for putting up this site and sharing your recipes...Veena :)

When the Milk cream leaves the sides of the dish its ready to be removed.

Yes you can make it with condensed milk but since we dont use it have no idea about the quantity required. Some people also add flour to thicken the sweet but we dont do that

To check consistency in water, you drop half a tea spoon of the milk cream in water and if it hardens or becomes a soft ball you know your dish is nearly ready
