Paal Therattipaal

Paal Therattipaal goes with any function. Its considered to be a rich sweet. In India milk cannot be kept for too many days as in western countries. So in my house whenever there is excess milk my grandmother would immediatly prepare some therattipal. Since it is a sweet which every body takes in hand with a spoon, it vanishes so quickly that no body knows when any one ate it. Checkout instant version at


Ingredients

Milk (whole) - 8 cups
Sugar – 1 ¼ cup
Cardamom pdr – ½ tsp
Ghee – 1 tsp

Method

  1. Take a heavy pan with wide mouth.
  2. Pour 8 cups of milk.and boil it in medium flame.
  3. Put a long spatula(preferably wooden) in the milk to stir every now and then.
  4. When it starts to boil sim the heat and continue cooking and stirring till the milk starts to thicken(approx. 1-1/2 hrs) .
  5. When it is semisolid add the sugar and cook for another 15-20 mnts. It will start to solidify.
  6. Add ½ tsp cardamom pdr and 1 tsp ghee.

Keep it to cool . Paal Therattipal will be a little sticky.

If you add 2 drops of lemon juice it won't be so sticky. Add in the end before taking it out.
