About Therattipaal
Traditionally therattipal is made by simmering milk in a heavy bottomed pan for 1-2 hrs until it is thick. Simmering, scraping the milk solids and reducing the milk to almost 1/4 of the orginal quantity of milk. After milk reduces, adding sugar and cooking for more time to get a thick consistency to form therattipal / palkova. I have already tried palkova usng this traditional method . So wanted to try a easy and quick method hence used condensed milk, and it was done in just few mins. Just mix condensed milk, milk and curd and keep stirring until its thick which gets done in just 20 mins.
Ingredients
- Condensed Milk : You can use homemade condensed milk or store bought ones.
- Milk : Use fresh milk for best results. You can use either raw milk or boiled milk. If using raw milk make sure it is fresh. You can skip milk and try this sweet too but I prefer adding milk as adding only condensed milk is very sweet.
- Curd: Use fresh curd that is not sour else the sweet will have a sour taste. This is used to curdle milk and give a grainy texture to the sweet.
