Its difficult to get seem paal nowadays.
This is my version of imitation seem paal.
Try it once , you will enjoy it.
SEEM PAAL
Ingredients:
250 grms full cream powdered milk
1 litre warm water
150 grms sugar ( more if you like )
15 ml vinegar (more or less till the milk curdles)
1 pandan leaf ( pandanus leaf) tied in a knot
Method:
Mix the milk in the water.Add the sugar
Also add the pandan leaf.
Put the pot with the milk on fire and let it boil.
While it is boiling vigorously, add the vinegar slowly.
The milk will curdle.
You can see the milk solids and the whey.
You can serve it warm or chilled.
If you do not have pandan leaf, just add a drop of vanilla essence.
