Almond and Cashew Palkova




Palkova is my younger daughter Jeevana's favourite indian sweet meat. She can't get enough of it...instead, of making plain palkova i opted for almond and cashew palkova this time. Made with milk,sugar and ghee with assorted nuts, palkova is an utterly mouthwatering indian sweet. One of the most likeable sweet by young and old.


Ingredients

10 cups full cream milk
1 cup white sugar
2 tbsp ghee
1/3 cup chopped nuts(almond & cashew)



Methods

Greased a 8'inch serving pan/plate with ghee or butter

In a heavy bottom pan, heat milk and bring it to boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium

Stir it every 5 minutes to avoid the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan. After 1 1/2 hours the milk will turn to a slight yellow color. Stir continuously to prevent the milk from burning

Add the sugar when the milk becomes thicker and stir. Add the ghee and nuts. Stir continuously to get an optimum pale brown/brown color.

When the mixture almost starts to roll into a ball and ghee appears in te surface of the palkova, remove from heat and press evenly into greased pan.

Garnish it more chopped nuts and enjoy it warm
