Great recipe. As usual I modified like I do with almost every recipe I try. I added and stirred in quite a bit of dry fruit before adding condensed milk (raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds etc). Did not use sugar but added a tbs Honey to make it soft as my extra ingredients were making it too dry. Net result, amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Will be used quite often. Easy and taste to die for.

Condensed milk is typically added to thicken the dessert – especially milk-based ones. A thicker consistency would therefore be preferable. Nestle Milkmaid has a much thicker consistency in comparison to Amul's Mithai Mate. The folds of condensed milk that Milkmaid formed were much thicker.

By the turn of the 20th century, quite a few brands of sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk existed in the Indian market. But the one brand that became the synonym for condensed milk was Milkmaid.
Although evaporated milk and condensed milk are both shelf-stable milk products that are produced in similar ways, they're not the same. The main distinction is the addition of sugar in condensed milk, which yields a different texture and flavor profile.
Officially the most loved dessert in India, Gulab Jamun has a fan base of its own. The funny thing is, the base of Gulab Jamun is actually not Indian! It is said that Gulab Jamun actually originated in Persia, and Indian chefs used “khoya” instead of the original ingredients to make it their own.

Barfi is one of many milk-based Indian sweets. Traditionally, it would have been made by slowly cooking milk down for hours until it condensed into the dough-like evaporated milk solids known as khoya or mawa. A quicker and easier way of making barfi starts with milk powder instead.

Milkmaid is both healthy and tasty. I'm a chef at a local restaurant in Delhi and milkmaid is my go-to sweetened milk brand for desserts, gajar ka halwa, kheer, seviyan and cakes. As per this, Nestle's Milkmaid offers lower calories and fat compared to Amul's Mithai Mate.
Sweetened condensed milk includes a lot of calories, but it also has a lot of saturated fat, which is dangerous for people with diabetes and heart issues. According to studies, eating a diet high in saturated fats can raise insulin and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels.
Condensed milk is made in a similar way, but sugar is added to it so that about 45% of its content is sugar. Because of this, condensed milk is very sweet and thick, while evaporated milk is unsweetened.
