Boil 1 liter of full cream milk in a heavy bottom pan over medium heat.

Add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar to the boiling milk and stir.

Allow the milk to curdle and then turn off the heat, letting it rest for 5 minutes.

Add 2-3 cardamom pods and a bit of cinnamon to the hot milk to infuse.

Drain the curdled milk using a muslin cloth, squeezing out all the moisture.

Put the drained curds back in the pan and add 3/4 cup sugar on low heat.

Stir continuously until all the moisture evaporates and the sugar melts.
