    Therattipal traditional indian sweet

    Therattipal is a milk sweet prepared with milk.   Here is a shortcut for the delicious palgova using condensed milk. Microwave Palkova can be prepared in no time when compared to usual process. Microwave version is super quick and tastes delicious.

    A post after a longtime.  Before starting to India I loaded all my post pics in a pen drive and was telling my husband, I will do blog activities from India, as I won't have any work there. My husband smiled without saying anything. Though I wasn't sure about that expression, after going to India I understood it 🙂  

    I opted to halt my break with a sweet recipe and this Microwave Palkova is my first pick, as this is my sister's all time favorite sweet.  For me, any  food with some form of sugar Is sweet, but for her Palkova is the king of all sweets.

    During my college days,  when ever Amma goes out of station and if we have extra milk at home,  my sis asks me to prepare either Basundi or Palkova.  This time when I visted India she asked me to cook some of her favorite recipes.

    As most of the time I enjoyed eating mother's and mother-in-law's preparations, I occasionally tried a few recipes. Palgova day came but as traditional Palgova demands a lot of time I prepared this quick instant microwave palkova. She couldn't find the difference in taste and it was finished in no time 🙂

    Notes

    1. Time may differ from microwave to microwave
    2. Use a large microwave bowl as Palkova raises a lot - almost double the volume while cooking
    3.  Can use butter instead of ghee
    4. Cardamom powder and nuts can be added for extra flavor
    5. Can add cocoa Powder for chocolate palgova
    6.  Can add vanilla extracts For additional taste
    7. A friend tried with non-fat condensed milk and told it turned out good
    8. Always consume the palgova after cooling
    9. Always use thick curd. If the curd is watery it will affect palgova consistency
    10. Avoid microwaving continuously, you might burn the palgova. It is very important to stir the palgova well in regular intervals

      Welcome back Vidya 🙂 Hope you had a great vacation 🙂 I have never tried palkova from condensed milk - this must be quite quick to prepare 🙂 By the way whenever there was extra milk at home, the sister and I used to do the same too 🙂

      Thank you vidya, after i add sugar it is like the traditional basundhi. i think i should reduce even more to get the grainy structure. please correct me if i am wrong, vidya.
