Kya malai ghar me banta he? kaise? uske jgah pe or kuchh daal skte he kya? Reply me plz.

Response: Hi, you can make the malai(fresh cream) at home or buy it from the grocery store (you can easily find Amul brand fresh cream in most of the grocery stores).
It is added in most of the punjabi curries to get rich creamy flavor. However, if it is not available, you can skip it. You cannot use anything else instead of malai.
To make the malai at home, follow the given directions.
1. Boil the milk and then cool it at room temperature.
2. After that, keep it in refrigerator for at least 7-8 hours, the thick layer (malai) will form on the milk surface, collect it and store it in airtight container in refrigerator. It stays good for 4-5 days.
3.To add homemade malai in the curry, beat it a little or stir it with a spoon before adding.

Hi, it really tastes awesome. I want to know about the ingredients if i would like to make it for a bigger gathering around 30 people.

Response: Hi Neha, if you want to make this in large quantity, I would suggest you to make this once at home and check the quantity. This recipe serves 2 people, so you can get the idea to make this for 30 people by multiplying all ingredients.
