Use a heavy bottomed vessel for making palkova so that it doesn't burn easily at the bottom. Also make sure to wet the base of the vessel before pouring milk. I used heavy bottomed bronze uruli. Add milk to it.
First give a quick mix to avoid sticking at the bottom. Boil milk.
Keep stirring every now and then to avoid burning.
You can keep the laddle like this to avoid overflowing of milk.
Let it boil till it reduces. Stir every now and then to avoid burning at the bottom.
Keep the flame in low medium but take care to stir often. This is after almost 1 hour. Milk is reduced to almost 1/4th and is thick.
At this stage add sugar and cardamom powder.
Cook for another 5-7 mins.
Cook until thick but still slightly goey.
Add 1 tablespoon ghee. Give a quick mix.
Add remaining 1 teaspoon ghee.
Mix well, it will leaves the sides of the pan but still gooey. Switch off at this stage, after it cools down it may get more thicker. Enjoy Palkova!
