Steam it first on medium high flame for 10 minutes and 15 to 20 mins on low flame till it is done.

 You may find some jaggery water on the top, its ok . It will be absorbed as the pudding cools ..

WHAT IS COLOSTRUM / CHEEK MILK ?

It is the milk which the cow / buffalo produces after delivering a calf for first few days [ upto the sixth day ].If the milk of the first day is used then we have to dilute with ratio of 1 : 1 or 2 . After the first two days ,dilute it with less normal milk – the ratio changes .After the third day there is no need to dilute .The milk is thick and pale yellow in colour.It is rich in protein .It has high concentration of nutrients and antibodies.

If using 1st day or 2nd day colostrum milk .. you can use 2 cup colostrum milk : 1 cup regular milk proportion. For 3rd / 4th day milk use 1 : 1 proportion . After 4th day milk .. don’t mix normal milk . Just use colostrum milk as it won’t be very thick and adding regular milk would make it more thinner and hence won’t set .

We can freeze colostrum milk for 1-2 months and use when required .
