Hello,
Loving this recipe.... however, I don't keep cream in my house. Can I omit and use that much more milk? or what else can I use instead?
thx!
Foodies Terminal says
Hey Bindu you can sub the cream with Malai only. Cream and Malai almost has the same fat content and it works well. Don't sub it with milk. Thank you Bindu, take care. - Meghna.
