kharvas
hi guys here is a traditional maharashtrian recipe from my mum its for soimething called “kharvas”,the ghati version of creme caramel, and cheesecake all rolled in one.
milk-1lts(this is special milk which is obtained within 12 hrs after a cow/ buffalo give birth and in marathi is called cheek, english is called colostrum or beestings.u take 1part of this thick sap like milk and mix with 2 parts of regular milk)
jaggery -200gm grated.
nutmeg- pinch
cardamom powder- pinch
mix all till well blended, taste for sweetness then pour in greased tin and steam on low heat till set.the high protein content means it sets wihtout any eggs.
chill and serve.in dadar u get it sometimes at aswad, near sena bhavan.
bloody delicious .also extremely healthy, since it contains high ammts of casein,and immunogens.
