Yes, you read it right, you just need 2 Ingredients to make this delicious Paal kova or Fudgy Milk Sweet.
Paal kova – A South Indian dessert
Paal Kova is a famous South Indian dessert made with only full-fat milk and sugar. No fancy ingredients, yet a rich creamy dessert is the result. It’s usually time consuming process but the end result will be totally worth it. To make it easier, some may use condensed milk to make Paal Kova. Some use Kova while preparing.
This Paal kova is made on auspicious days. As Gokulashtami is nearing I present this to you. Gokulashtami is the birthday of Lord Krishna celebrated all over India. This is made and presented before Lord Krishna.
How to make Paal Kova
The making of this dish is so simple. The only thing is once it reduces its quantity, you have to stir it continuously. If not it will burn. Always remember to use a heavy-bottomed pan. It prevents the burning of milk. Once the milk boils, keep the flame in medium. When the cream forms, stir it in the milk again. Add sugar only after the milk is reduced to half. Only use whole-fat milk. It gives you a nice creamy, rich texture to this dish.
