6 g1 teaspoon
19 g1 tablespoon
400 g1 one standard 400 g tin/can
Sweetened condensed milk density about 1.29 g/ml; 4.93 ml spoon gives about 6.4 g. | Indian recipes usually mean one 400 g net tin of sweetened condensed milk.
Instead of Condensed milk
Milk powderFor 100 g condensed milk, whisk 30 g milk powder with 40 g sugar, 30 g hot milk or water and 5 g butter until smooth. It will be slightly less glossy but works in sweets and curries.
Full cream milkFor 100 g condensed milk, simmer 250 g full cream milk with 75 g sugar until reduced to about 100 g, stirring often. Takes 20–30 minutes and gives a fresher, less caramelised flavour.
Milk solids or milk powderUse 100 g khoya with 40 g sugar and 2–3 tablespoons milk, heating gently until smooth; it is thicker and richer, so loosen with milk as needed.
