Hi Supermoms,

Wishing you all a very Happy Independence Day !

'Palkova' or Palgova' is a very popular South Indian dessert. This delicious and famous dish   is believed to have originated in Srivilliputur , Virudhunagar District of Tamilnadu. Due to the white revolution, the excess milk was being made into Palkova. It is also served to the devotees visiting the Srivilliputur Andal Temple. This way, it's name and fame grew over the years. Palkova is made from just  two ingredients milk and sugar . As easy as it may sound, making palgova requires lots of patience. Milk is boiled  and continuously   stirred in heavy bottom pan/kadai till the fats separate .

Chef Tips:

1. Do wear a gloves while handling the glass bowl as it will be very hot.
2. Using a tall and wide bowl is really important, as the condensed milk tends to boil over.
3. Open the door of the microwave after few seconds of cooking so that the boiling mixture settles down a bit.
4. The palkova tends to thicken when cooled, so do not over do the cooking, else it might become hard.
5. Remove the excess water from the curd before adding it to the condensed milk . More water might require additional few seconds of cooking.
6. If you do not have a microwave, you can prepare this sweet on stove top too. Add a teaspoon of ghee in a non- stick pan before you transfer condensed milk-curd mixture and keep stirring on low flame till you get the grainy texture of Palkova. 
7. The cooking time might differ lightly depending upon the microwave you are using. 

Happy Cooking !

With love,
