Notes
Use a big pressure cooker since you are using milk and when it whistles, it may splutter all over the place.
This is a very basic version! Instead of sugar, you can replace with condensed milk or add some cream at the end for more richness. You can add some crushed saffron for an exquisite flavor. The options are endless....
