Paalkova/Therattupaal/Milk Halwa(Microwave Method)

Paalkova is a delicious,tempting sweet which is made by boiling and condensing the milk with sugar.Originally paalkova preparation is a lengthy process to condense the milk and take hours to make.But this exotic sweet can be made with lesser number of ingredients in 10-15 minutes in the microwave oven.Here is the recipe......

Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Condensed milk	1 tin
Curd/Yogurt	3tbs
Ghee	2tsp
Cardamom/ellakai Powder	1tsp
Cashews/Almonds(finely chopped)	to garnish
Pistachios(finely chopped)	to garnish

Method

Take the condensed milk in a wide microwave safe bowl and microwave it for 3 minutes,stirring in between twice.Now add the curd and keep in the microwave for 6-7 minutes.Stir in every minute of interval.

Finally add the cardamom powder and ghee to the mixture and mix it well.

Keep it in the microwave for a minute.Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Paalkova is ready to enjoy.

Enjoy..............................

Use the fresh curd otherwise the sweet will be slightly sour in taste.
After adding the cardamom powder and ghee do not cook it for more than a minute.It will get thicken after cooling.
The cooking time varies from oven to oven,take every minute from the microwave and check for the consistency.
The paalkova becomes harder if it is over cooked.
