Options

There's a variation of this I make, it is called MSC- i.e. 3 parts milk, 2 sugar and 1 of fresh grated coconut.

add all the ingredients in a heavy kadai, keep stirring often in medium flame, till it thickens.

once the mixture comes together, spread on a greased plate, garnish with nuts, press it down.

This variation tastes more like rabri, or thiratipal, as it has more milk, My family loves this variation.
