Some people never makes it with condensed  milk. I decided to try it with condensed milk which i got from a magazine. I tried the sweet pudding several times and it is very tasty. The creamy condensed milk sweetnes make it so tasty and flavour.You adjust the milk with the amount of Vemicelli taken. If you use more condensed milk there is no need of sugar.
