Mouth-watering dishes you can prepare from milk at home.
Milk Recipes- Not just is milk a complete meal in itself, it is also such a versatile ingredient which is an intregral part of most of the Indian desserts and even some delicious curries. Remember all those incidents when as a child you were coaxed and coerced into drinking your glass of milk? What a sense of heroic accomplishment we felt after gulping down the entire glassful in one go. But then, as we grew older, we gradually developed a liking towards this not-so-favourite drink, especially as we came to realize its benefits.
Whether it tops the charts for you or not, milk holds an extremely crucial position in our daily intake. It is full of protein and nutrients that are absolutely essential for human growth at all stages of life.
In Indian cuisine, a lot of us have devised ways and means to successfully include it in our everyday diet without compromising on the taste quotient. From adding it in our cereals, to churning out refreshing fruit shakes and smoothies, the emergent and unavoidable necessity of milk in our daily food chart has compelled us to be innovative and further push the culinary boundaries to embrace milk in mainstream cooking as well.
