Can someone help me make Milk Sweets

[ShivShanth]

Hi,
My husband just loves milk sweets and I have tried making them,but it is always a disaster. Actually I am not good making any type of sweets that involve sakkarai thanni patham.

I do not get khova here (US). What else can I substitute for it? Can someone please post a few simple recipes and tips.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you try Mrs.Mano's Microwave palgova?
It will be awesome.

PALGOVA [MICROWAVE]
Add 1 tin condensed milk[450gms to 500gms], 9tbsp full cream milk powder, and 2tbsp fresh curd to a microwave bowl and mix with a spoon thoroughly. Microwave it in HIGH for 3 minutes at first. Then take the bowl out of the oven and mix well. Then again microwave it for 11/2 to 2 minutes in HIGH. Then if you need, you must microwave it for some more minutes. But do not forget to take it out and mix well after every minute.

Try. You won't be disappointed.

hey...i have two very simple dishes..and both use the same dough !

to make balls for gulab jamun and ras malai 'pedas' ...you use the same dough as i have given below :


1 cup milk powder
1 tsp ghee
3/4 to 1 tsp baking powder
1 egg

mix this dough well and make small balls.

FOR GULAB JAMUN:

1) make sugar syrup with 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water. add few seeds of cardomom ( around 1/2 tsp ) and boil, till you reach one string stickiness of suryp. switch off stove.
Preferably , Try and make this syrup before making the dough balls.

2) after making small balls , deep fry these balls in oil till golden. immediately put these balls into the hot sugar syrup .

let balls soak properly ( takes few hours) and then serve .


FOR RAS MALAI:

1) its preferable here that ., the balls be made first , as milk gets boiled faster .
2) boil milk ( around 1 litre ) add required amout of sugar., also add few drops kewra essence .
when milk starts bubbling , add the balls to the boiling milk( or flatten them with your palm to make it luk like peda ) and keep boiling till the balls fluff up in size . ( sumtimes , a ball may break offf, this is also indication that ras malai is made ).
switch off stove immediately.

let it cool and garnish wit pista , sliced alomnds etc and serve chiilled.

Both these recipes have never failed me!!

Dear Zia,

i liked ur quick receipes for jamoon's and ras malai peda's. i got 1 doubt.
i need to put egg yolk or whole,does it smell?

[ziaxxxxx]

thanx fer liking recipes.

when you make the dough , it does smell slightly ..but sfter frying it and adding it to sugar syrup ( in the case of gulab jamun) or adding it to boiling milk ( in caxse of ras mailai) ..the smell goes away...you only want to think of having more and more of the sweet dish!!!!!

you have to put the whole egg in it and mix welll...

[deepali128]

dear zia,

thanks a lot!! i will definately try it and let u know.

Hi Ziaxxx,

Can I use non-fat milk powder or should I use full fat milk powder only?
