Sindhi Bhugal Mawa is also known as milk cake across India.

Milk cake is a delicacy none can resist.

It is one of the most popular sweets in India.

This is an easy recipe but needs some slow cooking of milk.

Although sweets can be bought,nothing can beat the satisfaction of making it at home.

These days market based sweets also have adulterated khoya at times, so making it at home makes it healthier too.

You need only one major ingredient heavy full fat milk.This is a recipe which will wow your guests.
