Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar, or to taste
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt, whiked until smooth
1 large thick kitchen towel

Steps:

1. In a heavy, medium wok or saucepan, bring the milk and 1/3 cup sugar to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the wok constantly, until reduced by about a third, 4 to 6 minutes.2. Meanwhile, in a small nonstick saucepan, add the remaining sugar and cook, stirring, over medium heat until it melts and then caramelizes to a dark brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly, before the caramel burns, add the water and stir until the sugar dissolves in the water, making a brown syrup, 30 seconds.3. Add the caramel syrup to the pan with the milk and simmer about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow the mixture to cool until it registers 118°F to 120°F on a meat thermometer. Mix in the yogurt, and cover the bowl with a loose-fitting lid. Then, fold the kitchen towel in half, wrap it snugly around the milk bowl, and place in a warm, draft-free place (such as the oven or a kitchen cabinet) until firm, 4 to 6 hours. Refrigerate at least 4 hours until chilled, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
