MICROWAVE MILK KOVA / PAAL KOVA

Serving size - 12 to 15 pieces

Preparation time - 5 minutes

Cooking time - 5- 8 minutes (depends on the microwave)

 

Milk kova has a special place in our Indian sweets. It is a delicious sweet made from milk and sugar. This milk kova is very famous in two places. One is Srivilliputhur Andal paal kova and another is Madurai meenakshi paal kova. My favorite is madurai paal kova. I love it. Wow.. Even if I think of it,  its mouthwatering. I got this recipe from my sister (Latha akka). I really thank her for this wonderful and easy recipe.

Ingredients

Sweetened condensed milk - 1 can (14 oz)
Curd - 1 1/2 tbsp
Elachi powder - a pinch
Shredded Almonds - 2(optional)
Shredded Pistachio - 2 (optional)

Method

For soft milk kova in the bowl :

1. Pour condensed milk in the microwave safe bowl.
2. Microwave it for 5 minutes. (Stir it for every 2 minutes).
3. Once condensed milk is thicker and gets bubble, add curd, elachi powder and mix well. 
4. Microwave it for 2 more minutes. (But stir it every single minute).
5. Once it comes to soft and milk kova consistency, you can transfer it to the bowl or air tight container.
6. Garnish it with almonds and pistachio.
7. Enjoy milk kova in the bowl.

For milk kova into pieces :

1. Do steps from 1 to 4 under the heading "For soft milk kova in the bowl".
2. In the mean time, grease a plate or tray with ghee.
3. Microwave it for 1 or 2 more minutes. It will be little thicker consistency than the previous method.
4. Pour the milk kova on the greased plate or tray.
5. Garnish it with almonds and pistachio.
6. Allow it to cool. Grease the knife with ghee.
7. After 20 - 30 minutes, roll the knife on to the milk kova and make them into pieces.
8. Enjoy milk kova in pieces.

Note

1. You can get soft textured milk kova from the first method " For soft milk kova in the bowl".
2. IF you like chewy texture, you can try the second method "For milk kova into pieces". But it won't be much chewy.

3 MINUTE MICROWAVE COCONUT BURFI

Serving size - 4 burfis

Preparation time - 2 minutes

Cooking time - 3 minutes

 

 

3 minutes Microwave coconut burfi is my recipe name. Without sweets the festival is incomplete.  IT is festival season right. So I thought of sharing easy and authentic sweet recipe. You can prepare this dish within 3 minutes. Let us go to the easy and quick recipe.

Ingredients 

Shredded coconut – ½ cup

Sugar – ½ cup

Water – 2 tbsp

Ghee – ¼ tsp (optional)

Cardamom  powder – a pinch

Almonds and pistachio  are optional. I din’t use. Because my little one doesn’t like nuts. J

Method

Take sugar, cardamom powder and water in a microwave safe bowl and keep it for a minute.

(sugar syrup is ready once it started boiling. One string consistency is good but not important.)

Add ghee and shredded coconut to the sugar syrup and keep it for 2 more minutes. Stir it every one minute.

Once the coconut is fully mixed with sugar syrup, should leaves its side and goes to thicker consistency. The stage is perfect to pour the coconut mixture into the greased pan or vessel.

Garnish it with almonds and pistachio.

Allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Make them into pieces.

After  15 minutes, remove it from the pan and keep it in the air tight container.

Note:

1. If you eat this coconut burfi after 1 or 2 hours it will be more good to taste.
2. You can use fresh shredded coconut or frozen shredded coconut. 
3. If you use frozen shredded coconut, make sure it should be in room temperature.
4. If you use fresh shredded coconut, make sure to grind slightly in the mixie. Don't make it into paste, just half a round. That is it.
