May 19, 2011 at 7:52 amHello, I’m in the UK, we have double cream, single cream and whipping cream, Which should I use? Thanks to anyone who answers!

September 11, 2011 at 11:14 amI also live in U.K. & I’ve been cooking American food for ages. When the recipe calls for Heavy Milk (or Cream) here in U.K. it means Double cream.

Your recipes are great, the til ki burfi came out good and i tried it 1 cup of fresh grated coconut instead of sesame and it was just as delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you in person someday.

“Heavy cream” means heavy whipping cream ,which is used to whip the cream for cakes.

March 5, 2011 at 10:08 amHello, dear Manjula.
I have a friend who is allergic to dairy. Could this be made with soy milk? Thank you for the time you spend to give us these recipes.
Jenny
March 6, 2011 at 11:32 amI am allergic to dairy too. There are tabletts which you can take if you eat dairy products. I don’t know the english name but you can ask in a drug store for them. You can get them very easily there.

March 12, 2011 at 9:09 amThank you, Jenny. My friend’s allergy is quite a serious one and the tablets don’t work for her symptoms. That is why I was wondering if soy milk would work.
Jaya
March 12, 2011 at 6:25 pmSoy milk alone will be too thin and because of her allergy you cannot use milk or the milk powder.

February 19, 2011 at 11:29 amDo you mean regular milk when you say “heavy” milk? Thanks.
swar
February 25, 2011 at 6:36 pmIts Heavy “cream” not milk. Heavy cream which we use in most paneer recipes also. You can find it in any grocerry store.
