Mom's Perfect Theritipaal, also known as South Indian Milk 'Fudge,' is a delicious and creamy dessert that is a popular treat in many households throughout South India. It is typically made with milk, sugar, and dry milk powder, and sometimes flavored with cardamom or nutmeg. The dessert is similar in texture to fudge or caramel, but with a slightly grainy texture that comes from the use of nonfat dry milk powder. Mom's Perfect Theritipaal is usually cut into small cubes and served warm or at room temperature, making it a great dessert to share with family and friends.

Instructions

1.	In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil.
2.	Add the nonfat dry milk powder and whisk until well combined.
3.	Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk has thickened and reduced by about half.
4.	Add the sugar and water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and reduced further, to the point where it starts to leave the sides of the pan.
5.	Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a greased baking dish.
6.	Cut into cubes and serve warm or at room temperature.
