Doodh pak is a traditional Gujarati sweet dish made with milk, rice, and dry fruits. Traditionally in doodh pak, milk is slow-boiled to thicken, flavored with cardamom and jaiphal powder. But in this recipe, I made milk powder-based mawa which is easily prepared and gives creaminess and thickness instantly to doodhpak. It is really delicious and enjoyed best with poori. Do try this!
The key to making creamy doodh pak at home are
- use a heavy-bottomed pan or nonstick pan to prepare this recipe. Otherwise, milk may cream may stick to the bottom and you may have a burnt smell.
- I made flour and milk powder-based mawa to give thickness and creaminess to doodh pak but you can use milk powder or condensed milk instead of mawa.
- When rice is completely cooked then add milk powder mawa into doodhpak, otherwise rice is not properly cooked.
- chilled doodh pak for a minimum of 2 hrs before serving.
