School holidays are always fun for kids and we adults too can relax a bit during this time. My first one wanted to get some sweets and thought why not I try something at home. I looked around to prepare something quick and easy, and found a tin of condensed milk which I bought sometime ago to make Kheer. If you do not know what “Kheer” is then watch this video. This Indian sweet is exceptionally easy to make as it needs only 3 ingredients.
