How to make Condensed milk at home

Condensed milk with step by step photos

1. Take milk and sugar in a thick bottomed wide mouthed pan. Then cook over high flame till the milk boils. Remember to stir in between so that the milk does not sick to the bottom. Also, stir towards one side only, either close wise or anti-clockwise direction, otherwise the milk will curdle.

   

   
   

2. Once the milk boils completely, you can reduce the flame to low and do further cooking on low flame with continuous stirring, but it takes a long time to reach the end product, so I recommend you to cook on medium high flame or high flame with continuous stirring . Do scrape the sides in between.

   

3. Continue cooking till the milk reduce to half. It will have a pale yellow color at this stage and will have creamy texture. At this stage you can add baking soda. The addition of baking soda will fasten the process and you will experience the fast change in the milk just after the addition of this ingredient.
   
4. Once it has reached cream consistency just like condensed milk, you can put a pinch of salt in order to balance the taste. Boil for a minute or two and then switch off the flame.
   
5. Wait till the condensed milk turns completely cool, it will thicken little bit more.
   
6. Then strain through a tea strainer and transfer this in an air tight container and refrigerate.  
   

Happy cooking
