palkova recipe | how to make palkova with milk | palgova recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a classic south indian milk-based dessert recipe made from evaporating the full cream milk. it is a traditional sweet recipe mainly hails from srivilliputhur and is prepared during festival season or for any celebration and feast. the recipe can be served as milk solids, but can also be shaped as milk peda and served.
i have prepared many milk based sweet till now for but this recipe of palkova is my new favorite recipe. there are several reasons for this but the main reason is the number of ingredients used in this recipe. obviously, it reduces the complexity of the entire recipe, yet resulting in rich and creamy dessert. i even try this recipe in microwave and it takes only few minutes in it. but i personally recommend the traditional way and not the way. in addition it can also be prepared from condensed milk and milk powder too which should result in equally creamy palgova recipe. further if you do not wish to serve it as just milk solids, it can also be easily converted and shaped to peda too. i guess this is how it is served in andhra and palkova is shaped like peda.
furthermore some important tips and suggestions while preparing the palkova recipe. firstly, use thick bottomed non-stick kadai to prevent milk from sticking to the bottom of kadai. also, if you prefer to enhance the flavours of palgova recipe, then add cardamom powder / saffron. additionally, adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness you prefer. lastly, cook the milk on low to medium flame, else there are high chances for milk to burn and taste bitter.
