1

Heat 2 liters of whole milk in a heavy bottom pan over medium-low heat until it starts to boil, which takes about 30 minutes.

2

Add 3 tablespoons of malt vinegar to the boiling milk and stir until the curds separate from the whey, then turn off the heat.

3

Pour the curds into a colander lined with a fine cloth to drain the whey, then rinse the curds with cold water to remove the vinegar.

4

Tie the cloth with the curds and place a heavy object on top to squeeze out excess water for 40 minutes to an hour.

5

In another heavy bottom pan, heat 2 liters of whole milk and 300 mL of double cream over medium-low heat, stirring to prevent sticking, and let it reduce for about 1.5 hours.

6

Once the milk has thickened, add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder, stirring to dissolve the sugar and simmer for a minute.

7

In a bowl, add the drained curds, 1/8 teaspoon of cardamom powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of fine semolina, kneading until it comes together.

8

Use a 1 teaspoon scoop to form small discs from the kneaded curds.

9

In a pressure cooker, combine 4 cups of water and 5 tablespoons of sugar, and bring to a boil.

10

Place 7 to 10 discs into the boiling water and pressure cook for 3 whistles, then release the pressure with cold running water.

11

Remove the cooked discs and place them into the thickened milk mixture, allowing them to absorb the flavors.
