Recipe Notes
  1. If the milk mixture becomes lumpy then use a whisk for stirring it. This makes the mixture smooth.
  2. Make sure you use a thick-bottomed saucepan or vessel. Do not use steel vessel while boiling milk, because the mixture sticks to the bottom easily in a steel vessel.
  3. If your mixture starts burning at the bottom then immediately transfer it into another vessel to avoid it from catching up the burnt smell.
  4. Adding rooh afza is optional yet recommended because the colour and taste of rooh afza adds a unique refreshing feel and flavour to the dish.
  5. Fruit custard stays good up to 2 days in the refrigerator. But if you are using oranges, watermelon, pineapple and strawberry, then use it within 24 hours. Because these fruits release water as time passes making the custard runny.
