Palkova/Milk Halwa

Palkova is one of my all time favourites.Everybody's favourite.Though it is a time consuming dish,the end result is always delectable.There are various methods of making palkova.Some people use lemon juice for giving thread like texture,some use condensed milk,some use cardamom,some use maida or cornflour again for texture,some use nuts,some use ghee and some use silver paper also.My question is "Do we need all these stuff to make palkova?".All weeee need is Milk and Sugar.No measurements bla bla nothing Everything is as per taste.Preparing paalkova is not rocket science.Patience and timing is the only key to get a perfect palkova.Here goes my simple version with just two ingredients.My job is to stir and everything happened on its own.

                                                

Believe me this recipe never goes wrong.I have given you a foolproof dish.

I did palkova in induction stove with a nonstick pan.I felt that it reduced my stirring job,consumed less time.

Ingredients
Milk - 1 and 1/2 litres
Sugar - i dont have any measurement.It was completely upon tasting.may be 1 and 1/2 cups.u can reduce or increase.

Method

1. Boil 1 and 1/2 litres of milk in nonstick pan.once it comes to a boil,increase the heat and keep stirring.
2. As i did it in induction stove,when i kept the temperature high i dint feel the milk raising too much and getting burnt at bottom .when you r doing in gas stove kindly be cautious.
3. After some time the milk will reduce to less than half of the orginal amount and colour will be slightly changed to very light yellow or pink(depends.for me it turned light yellow.some say light pink).At this time add sugar.keep stirring for sometime.
4. At one stage the mixture will form thread like structures and the entire content will reduce to quater of the original amount,it will be thick but in running consistency(i.e.at this stage only u can see the bottom of the pan when u stir the content)
5. Immediately remove to cup or plate orelse it will turn hard.
6. Serve it hot or cold in a small bowl.Tasty and simple palkova is ready to eat.Yummmm!!!
