Hi, As soonas i put the sauted apple to the milk mixture, it got curdled.. The small lubls formed as a result made it bad.. But the apple was not sour…
Both the apple and the milk should be at room temperature. I have written clearly only after the apple mixture cools completely, you have to add to the milk.
Tried doing it today. It was really amazing. Thank you padhu for such a wonderful recipe…
Wow, this kheer looks really inviting. Thank you so much for the recipe 🙂
