Instructions

Simple & easy-to-follow

STEP 1

I went with the pot-in-pot pressure cooking method. Add water to the pressure pan or cooker and place the vessel, add the garlic.

STEP 2

Then the milk.

STEP 3

Close the pressure cooker and cook for up to three whistles/hisses. Let the pressure release naturally. The garlic should be soft and mushy.

STEP 4

Remove the vessel from the pressure cooker. Add the cardamom powder and palm sugar.

STEP 5

Mix well and mash the garlic. Make sure to add the cardamom powder and palm sugar when the milk is hot so that the palm sugar dissolves easily. Garlic milk is ready. Serve warm.
