  • Use full-fat milk for the thick and creamy consistency of the doodh pak.
  • Raisins can also be added to the doodh pak.
  • Use a nonstick or heavy-bottomed pan to prevent milk from sticking at the bottom and avoid the burnt smell.
  • For thick and creamy doodh pak, you can also use milk powder or condensed milk.
