South Indian Pal Kova
I have a special corner for a remote place in Tamil Nadu, India called Sriviliputtur. Special memories gush in real fast making me utterly nostalgic. This place is famous - for its Andal (South Indian Goddess) Temple and for its "too-good-to-be-true" sweet called "Pal Kova" , an utterly delicious sweet made from milk and sugar. Something about the richness of the milk makes this incomparable if made anywhere else.
I remember eating this special sweet, esp made at my Grandmother's place which she used to bring along with her when she used to come and visit us. I have made it so many times at home, but I cannot for obvious reasons get that special touch of my grandma's. But then it would still serve your purpose nevertheless to get the droolworthiness of this "must-have-sweet". If one had "1000 dishes that you should have before you die" list, then this Pal Kova or Doodh Peda will make it to the list, am sure.

Hello, Wonderful collection of recipes ! It has become my go to site. Question regarding this palkova – Can we make it in a wide Calphalon non stick pan. Thanks

trying this recipe today.. shall post pictures soon 
the pancake turned out well too!
I just happened to be browsing today and found this recipe Dhivya !!! This reminds me of my college hostel days when our Sunday lunch used to include a small pack of Srivilliputhur paal kova
… memories indeed !!! Will try this one day and let you know !!!!
in some web they asked to add lemon .but in ur method it does not mentioned
Its tempting………
will it be perishable when it was kept in refrigirator?if palkova is a milk product, it should not get perished. tel me what is the reason
I have mentioned in my last step that it indeed keeps well in the fridge
hi we worked out your kova and it came excellent . do more recipes in milk and you rock
hi as usual u rock.the sweet dish turned out very yummy.
i added 3 tbs of rice flour (mixed in water without any lumps ) to the milk when it was reduced to half ,it yielded 3cups of palkova at the end with the same great taste.
continue ur good work
Thank you girls.
@Akal’s sappadu – thanks dear for such a beautiful and generous comment. I appreciate it
Hi DK,
came here through your comment and thanks for the visit!
I was going through your pages, haven’t finished all of them though! I’m just giving a feast to my eyes, so many lovely recipes, especially beautifully photographed and well demonstrated.. wanted to stop for a comment on almost each one of them, but then, since i have a sweet tooth, stopped somewhere here; paal gova, the old traditional slow process, you know , it’s not the same taste with all the quick process of doing paal govas(seen in some sites) nice patience and lovely finishing! Bravo!
Got a beautiful and rich site! yet to go through many of your recipes!!!
