Start by hanging your curd so that all the water is removed, about 30-mins to 1 hour.

In a saucepan, start by adding 1/2 cup of sugar to a dry pan. Let the sugar caramelize and become golden brown - about 5-6 minutes. PRO TIP: Stir constantly and watch closely. It goes from beautiful to burnt very quickly!

Once the color of the sugar has changed, add in 1 cup of milk slowly and mix everything well until incorporated.

Now add the remaining 2 cups of milk and mix well.

Set the milk mixture aside to cool until the milk is lukewarm (not too hot or too cold)

Place 1 cup of your hung curd and in a bowl.

Mix the hung curd well until it becomes a smooth mixture.

Next, very slowly add the milk mixture to the curd while mixing constantly to incorporate everything well so that you have a smooth mixture.

Ladle the mixture into small clay pots and cover them individually with aluminum foil.

Place them in a warm area and let them rest overnight.

The next day, place the pots on a wire rack inside of a pan and cover with a lid.

Place the heat on med/low and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool in the refrigerator for 5+ hours.
