Hi All,
Ive seen many queries about milk churning while cooking with dates.Ive Tried similar kinda dish while i had excess milk and fridge wasnt working too well.. if the milk curdles then cook the whole mixture till it dries up so it takes the form of halwa.. just add sugar and the dry fruits fried with ghee or skip the ghee.. comes out as tasty as kheer.This was a hit in my office and at home…

Shilpa,
I made this for my brother in law last week. I have a few doubts, The milk starts lightly churning as we heat, so i had to stop as it started boiling, why is it so? Pl tell how to make this with coconut milk. I served him chilled and he loved it so much, take care

Shilpa: Nirupama, I will try it again and see what happens. When I tried, milk did not churn, so I posted it. You can cook the dates in water, switch off and then add milk/coconut milk.

Hi shilpa,

I used lion seedless dates and the milk got spoiled.what type of dates should i use.

Thanks

Shilpa: I am not sure what went wrong. I used Lion dates too and it was fine. I do that for dates cake too when I don’t have time to soak them.
