This nutritionist-approved milk cake recipe just needs 4 ingredients

Finally, Diwali is here! And even though most of North India is choking thanks to a severely-poor air quality, it’s time to get into festive mode. But it’s not just the air which is polluted—it’s also the sweet box you’re likely to buy from the halwai next door that can be adulterated.

Now, you know this is the truth. There is a plethora of evidence to suggest that come Diwali, sweetmeat vendors tend to mix unscrupulous things to popular mithai in order to meet the increased demand at an even greater profit.

From rice starch in your barfi to non-permitted colours in your laddus—buying sweets from outside is a risky gamble. But fret not! But we’re here to your rescue with nutritionist Ruchi Sharma. Wondering how?

Well, here’s presenting an easy-peasy milk cake recipe, courtesy Ruchi, that you can whip in your kitchen without worrying about any adulteration. With just the right amount of sweetness (which is not something we can say about the halwai-variety of milk cake), you can serve this mithai with ease to your calorie-conscious friends.
