Notes
- 1 Cup = 235 ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
- When cooking in a microwave always use short burst of cooking. The food might get cooked fast and it might burn.
- One can use 1 min of burst instead of 2 mins.
- One can even use simple condensed milk instead of caramel condensed milk. The taste would change as it will not have the caramel flavour
