This homemade skim milk still has fat? Not zero fat? Because it''s in the nut.val

Dear Tessie, You are correct. The fat count is high in the nutritive value table. The reason is that the calculation as shown in this recipe is based on its ingredient - full fat milk. However since the process of skimming is done at home as shown in this recipe, it is difficult to find out the fat content of final skim milk. The ready made skim available in the market has 0.2 g of fat in a cup (200 ml). The estimated fat content of this homemade skim milk can be estimated to be slightly higher than ready made skim milk.

Hi...in one of the steps u hv said u can''t use cow''s milk for skimming?cow''s milk is wat v get daily....wat to do?

You can try the same procedure with cow''s milk, but the quantity of malai or cream on top after boiling will be less. You may not require to boil milk 3rd time to skim off the fat. Please try and share your feedback with us.

Is this recipe good for using milk to drink? Or just to cook with? I have started buying whole milk from a local farm whose ethical practices we really want to support...but we really prefer want to find a way to make it taste more like skim milk.
