Lucknow famous malai makhan recipe/Makhan Malai recipe

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

saffron

💰Cheaper: turmeric

Turmeric provides color but lacks saffron's unique flavor.

pistachios

💰Cheaper: cashews

Cashews are more affordable and still add a nutty flavor.

rose water

💰Cheaper: vanilla extract

Vanilla extract can mimic sweetness but lacks floral notes.

Take 200 ml of full-fat milk and 100 ml of cold milk cream in a bowl.

Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice to the cream to make it fluffy.

Mix well and refrigerate for at least 4 hours in the coldest part of the fridge, not the freezer.

After 4 hours, check the texture of the cream.

Add powdered sugar to the cream and mix well.

Incorporate cardamom powder for flavor.

Add rose water and saffron to the mixture, mixing thoroughly.

Continue to beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
