Hi Preeti. I registered to answer this for you _x0001F600_ as I made milk cake today following YouTube recipe. You can substitute alum with half tsp of citric acid or lemon juice.

Accurate sweet recipe. It can be made in 10 minutes which is the best part. Tastes just like it is available outside. Soft and sweet.
