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.

Expert Tips

• Always use fresh milk and curd. You can use any condensed milk that is homemade or storebought.
• Make sure to keep stirring to avoid burning at the bottom.
• You can slightly grease the pan with water before you start to avoid sticking. I used a bronze kadai and it was very heavy bottomed so had issues burning at the bottom.
• Do not let the mixture dry out, and do not cook for more time as it will become hard like candy.
• Switch off when its still goey and comes together as a mass, as it tends to thicken after cooling down.
• You can add a pinch of cardamom powder for flavour.
• Keep stirring, else it will burn at the bottom changing the color of the sweet itself.

Variations

• You can skip milk and use just condensed milk and curd to make therattipal but it will be very sweet. If you like more sweet then you can try this way.
• You can try the traditional method of therattipal by simmer 1 litre milk until it reduces to 1/4th then adding 1/2 cup sugar or jaggery to it.

Serving & Storing Suggestion

You can serve it as such warm or hot. You can serve it along with any savory snack like bajji, bonda etc for evening tea.

It keeps well in room temperature for 2 days and in fridge for about a week.

Any heavy bottomed vessel will be perfect. I used my bronze kadai, if you don’t have it use any heavy bottomed steel kadai or nonstick if you prefer.

It will be thick but flowing and leaves the sides of the kadai. It will still be sticky but will thicken after cooling down.So switch of at this stage.

You can rinse with water before adding condensed milk and milk. This helps to reduce sticking.
