I’ve been contemplating many recipes this past month and wanted to share so many with you—especially Ras Malai, Malpuas, and Jalebis. But, as always, there’s a ‘but.’ This past year has been hectic with my baby, making it feel like I’m constantly racing against time. Cooking daily meals is overwhelming, and I can barely manage it.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Microwave-safe bowl
• Non-stick saucepan
• 20cm square baking tin
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Glass of cold water for testing

Ingredients

• 400g tin condensed milk
• 450g brown sugar
• 150ml milk
• 115g butter

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin.
2. In a non-stick saucepan, heat together the milk, condensed milk, butter, and sugar over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir often, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking.
3. To test if the mixture is ready, drop a small amount into a glass of cold water. It should form a soft ball.
4. Once the mixture reaches this stage, remove it from the heat and beat it for ten minutes until it becomes thick and grainy.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and allow it to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, cut the fudge into small squares or break it apart with your hands.

Tips for Success

• Make sure to stir the mixture continuously to prevent burning.
• Use a wooden spoon for beating to achieve the right texture.
• Be patient while beating the mixture; it takes time to thicken properly.

Additional Tips or Variations

• Add a pinch of salt for a salted caramel flavor.
• Mix in nuts or dried fruit for added texture.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled fudge for extra indulgence.
