Palkova
Palkova is a very easy to make dessert with just 2 main ingredients which is usually available at home. It is made by cooking milk in a wide vessel . When milk reduces well , add sugar and cardamom powder and that’s all, out delicious palkova is ready . It requires only little patience as the time required for milk to reduce is usually one hour , but trust me , it is always worth a try. Friends, do give a try and share your valuable feedback.
Ingredients:
Milk - 1 litre (4 cups)
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Ghee - 2 tsp
Recipe :
- Take a wide vessel.
- Add milk and boil at medium flame.
- Stir occasionally.
- Milk reduces to half after 30 minutes.
- Milk looks creamy after 45 minutes.
- Milk thickens fully after 1 hour.
- Add sugar and a pinch of cardamom powder.
- After adding sugar, it loosens up little.
- Mix until it becomes dry. It takes about 5 minutes.
- Finally add little ghee, so that it will be easy to scrape the sides. It is an optional step.
- Yummy palkova is ready to enjoy !
My notes :
- Make sure to add a pinch of cardamom powder, so that it doesn’t dominate the flavour of palkova.
- Try to use a wide pan. It will help to evaporate the milk quickly and reduce our cooking time.
- In this recipe , 1/4 cup sugar was just enough for me . If you want more sweetness , you can add 1 or 2 tbsp of sugar extra.
- Cooking in nonstick vessel is easier as it doesn’t stick to the bottom easily. But it is more tastier if we boil milk in a normal vessel. The reason is we need to stir quite often in a normal vessel and scraping the milk solids from bottom gives more taste.
