If I happen to meet such recipes I would never let go, will try in my kitchen no matter what. This is one such recipe, by just looking at the ingredients you&#8217;ll never think this is going to taste in a way that will make you dance with joy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palkova or milk fudge, is an Indian sweet, to be more precise South Indian sweet. I&#8217;ve devoured this sweet a lot when I was young as it was easily available in most of the sweet shops in South India. The way I devoured this sweet was quite different from the other sweets. This sweet melts into your mouth as soon as it hits the tongue. But I never wanted it to melt so fast, I wanted to taste each and every bite of it. So I used to keep this sweet on my tongue for a long time tasting it and enjoying it. Of course, with the escort of Mmmmmmm sound \ud83d\ude1b I used to feel heaven in my mouth after every bite of it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, in the US I haven&#8217;t seen this sweet in any of the Indian sweet stores, and in the course of time, I totally forgot about this sweet. The other day, I saw a youtube video of making this sweet and that kind of woke up my hidden craving for this sweet. My taste buds instantly went wild and it couldn&#8217;t think of anything but palkova.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The authentic way of making palkova <\/strong>involves the cooking of whole milk with sugar in a huge pan over high heat, stirring it continuously without taking your hands off and your eyes off from it until the mixture reduces to 1\/4 th and tiny lumps start to appear, this would take about 45 minutes. This is how store-bought palkovas are made. Well, making this at home is quite challenging as we have to be really careful and needs a lot of patience while making this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I wasn&#8217;t disappointed as I found a short cut for making this in my kitchen, which called for only 2 simple ingredients and zero cooking (just involved heating in the microwave for 7 minutes). I couldn&#8217;t be happier with the zero cooking part, in fact that&#8217;s what I want \ud83d\ude42 After the first couple of minutes of heating, an irresistible aroma started to spread in the kitchen. When the palkova came out of the microwave, I showed zero patience to wait till it cooled down. I turned into a greedy selfish being and started tasting the hot hot palkova, which did burn my tongue. I didn&#8217;t feel the burning sensation, the only thing I could feel was the heaven in my mouth. With a spoonful of palkova placed on my tongue, I closed my eyes and totally indulged in it. There came the Mmmmmm sound which brought my husband into the kitchen. He took a bite of it and of course, the Mmmmm sound came out of him as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Palkova with \u00a0Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26971\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Microwave-Palkova-Condensed-milk-Palkova.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Microwave-Palkova-Condensed-milk-Palkova.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Microwave-Palkova-Condensed-milk-Palkova-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Microwave-Palkova-Condensed-milk-Palkova-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Condensed milk, sweetened &#8211; 1 can, 300 mL<\/li>\n<li>Yogurt or curd, thick- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>For Garnishing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Pistachios, chopped- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Almonds, chopped- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Cashew nuts, chopped- 1tbsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>In a large microwave-safe glass bowl (make sure to use a large bowl as the condensed milk will rise high when it boils and you don&#8217;t want it to spill over), combine condensed milk and yogurt well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/combine-3-ingredients.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4448\" title=\"combine 3 ingredients\" src=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/combine-3-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/combine-3-ingredients.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/combine-3-ingredients-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/combine-3-ingredients-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/mixed-ingredients.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4449\" title=\"mixed ingredients\" src=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/mixed-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/mixed-ingredients.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/mixed-ingredients-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/mixed-ingredients-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes at high power.<\/li>\n<li>Take the bowl out and using a non-stick spatula stir the mixture well.<\/li>\n<li>Again, heat for another 2 minutes, the mixture will have a curdled constituency at this point.<\/li>\n<li>Take the bowl out and give it a stir.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/after3-minutes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4451\" title=\"after3 minutes\" src=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/after3-minutes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/after3-minutes.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/after3-minutes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/after3-minutes-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Again, heat for another 3 minutes, <strong>stirring it after every 1 minute of heating<\/strong>.
