Khoya/Pala Kova

One of my favorite sweet and easy to prepare sweet is Kova. Yesterday i prepared this accidentally.I was boiling milk and forgot to turn off the stove.Later when Sri went to kitchen almost the milk was reduced to half litre from 1.5 litre. So I decided to make the rest of milk to kova.Usually i boil milk in low flame so it was not sticken to the vessel.

Ingredients:
  • 1 litre milk.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  •  1/2 tsp elachi powder(optional)

Procedure:
  1. In a widely opened vessel boil milk from low to medium heat stirring for every 3-4 minutes.
  2. After an hour the milk becomes thick paste and the color turns to brownish red.
  3. Now add sugar and stir well.
  4. The milk and sugar paste thickens and turn off the stove at desired thickness.
  5. Pour the milk paste onto a plate and cut into desired pieces.Decorate with pista and almond pieces.
