As for baloch gola, it was my first time eating an Indian dessert.

Dana, did your grandmother put syrup and condense milk into the shaved ice and top with fruits too? Or how did she make it? The others I've eaten, Taiwanese, I think, don't put syrup, just condense milk and have more fruits and ice cream. I think I like that better.
Ohhh goodness, I don't rightly recall. I just remember something that tasted and had a texture something like you just decribed.

I know she used quite a lot of milk in her sweet making. She used to boil it down to a kind of mush. Wouldn't surprise me at all if some condensed milk hadn't made it in there. I remember it being very sweet. Not sure whether there was golden syrup, but hers was more likely to be a recipe from India rather than Taiwan, so probably.
