Palkova is an Indian dessert made out of full fat milk and sugar. It is extremely addictive and delicious!
I used the UHT milk to make this and the results were as good. I is painful to actually sit and keep stirring the milk. You turn your back for a few seconds and the milk boils over and ruins your stove! I got a good muscle workout ……was stirring the milk for almost an hour!!!
It can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Just pop it into the microwave and eat it warm.
INGREDIENTS:
full cream milk – 1 litre
sugar – 1/4 cup
ghee – 2 tbsp
cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
PROCESS:
- in a heavy bottomed broad pan start boiling the milk on medium to low flame, stirring almost continuously so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
- the quantity of the milk will reduce. keep stirring till it thickens like in the picture below.
- At the point add the sugar. Now the consistency will become slightly loose. Stir for about 2 minutes.
- Add ghee and the cardamom powder and keep stirring.
- The mixture will slowly start leaving the sides of the vessel .
- When it becomes thick switch off the flame. it will become thicker when it cools down. so make sure you switch it off earlier.
