- Remove. Add raisins, nuts, … to garnish.
CAVEATS (SABODHAN! SABODHAN!)
* Thickening milk is a long, tedious, and boring process- watch TV or do something while stirring. It can get burnt with even a little inattention.
* Late into the process, as the mixture boils- drops scatter hither-thither. Wear apron and oven gloves for protection.
