A concentrated Indian milk product, prepared by simmering whole milk with added sugar, the slow evaporation thickens the milk into a rich, sweet, layer-textured confection. Like other heat-concentrated dairy products, its safety benefits from the prolonged cooking, but clean preparation and protection from post-cooking contamination still matter. Served warm, its caramelized layers are the signature of skilled preparation. Stirring constantly prevents scorching during its long simmer. It is served warm, often garnished with nuts. Its name reflects the scraping of milk solids during cooking.
