Tips & Secrets

  • Using full-fat buffalo milk is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade dense and creamy result.
  • Constant stirring is the absolute secret to preventing the professional-grade milk solids from sticking and browning.
  • Always ensure the mixture is completely cold before freezing to prevent the formation of professional-grade ice crystals.
  • Adding a little khoya or milk powder provides a sophisticated professional-grade body and prevents melting too fast.
