- Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and stir with a heavy ladle smoothening out any lumps.
- Continue stirring and add more milk, little by little, till all the milk is used up.
- Lower the heat, if it sticks at the bottom.
- Add the rose essence or saffron dissolved in milk, and take off the fire.
- Mix the flavoring and khoya properly.
