INDIAN MILK SWEET- PALKOVA
I still remember the cycle with a box covered with glass all around, with packets of palkova. And the cost was 5, 10 and 20 Rupees. The five rupees pack will be small and 20 rupees will be more big. So every time we buy palkova from the street vendor and eat. I still remember the taste. It will be super awesome. But the color will be little more white than we make in the house.
The special thing in this sweet is, it has only two ingredients. Nothing else is added to it. No nuts or Saffron or Ghee. Just Milk gives this kind of consistency and taste. The only thing in this recipe is the time, to reduce the milk it will take at least 1 hour. Because we cannot increase the heat to high or the milk will be burnt so we have to keep the flame in medium and cook the milk. You can store the Palkova in a airtight container for like a week in the refrigerator. It will be just awesome every time.
