Summary
Amul Kadhai Doodh has a clean ingredient list, sturdy packaging and authentic flavor of halwai-style kadha hua doodh. If only the sweetness was slightly more balanced we would have liked it better.
There is something so comforting about kadhai doodh served in a kulhad. Kadhai doodh, to put it simply, is milk simmered for hours on a low flame. It is then garnished with ground almonds, pistachios, cashews, and saffron.
Amul presents a cold, canned version of the OG kadhai doodh. How close does this ready-to-drink beverage from Amul come to the real deal?
