why it is necessary to add milk powder can not we do without it as I tried this recipe without milk powder

Tarla Dalal In this recipe, we have added milk powder because it provides a creamy texture to the ice-cream. If you really want to skip adding milk powder, you can refer to our other ice-cream recipes and add kesar, elaichi to it. Thank you!
