This is a Punjabi recipe. My friend learnt this sweet form her Punjabi neighbour and she made this sweet for us when we visited her. This taste exactly like Tamilnadu’ s Palcova.We liked it a lot. This is very simple , easy to make and a different dish than the traditional dish. One thing you should be careful about making this sweet is you have to stir the contents at regular intervals otherwise it will get spoiled totally.
Ingredients
1. Dry milk powder-3 cups
2. Sugar – 1 cup
3. Heavy whipping cream – 1 cup
4. Ghee – 3 tsp
Preparation
- Just mix all the ingredients in microwave safe bowl.
- Put the bowl in a microwave for a total time of 5-10 minutes(time deponds on the power of microwave). Make sure that you take the bowl out after each 2 minutes stir it and put it back again to heat.
- Take a flat plate or tray, roll the mixture on it flat. Cut into diagonal or square shapes as desired and allow it to cool till it becomes dry.
- Milk burfi is ready
Tips
Don’t feel bored for stirring the mixture. The secret of success lies there only.
Also be careful that the color shouldn’t change. If it got changed recipe is screwed up.
My Grandma’s place is a very small village named Palappampatti. Once in every year we (people of that village ) used to goto KODUMUDI and bring theertham from there to do pooja for Godesses Kaliamman .On that day those who are going to take theeram will do fasting from morning till that Pooja got over in the evening. I also used to do fasting. That time my Grandma used to tell me its no harm taking food with out salt.I used to say no..no…..So,she used to prepare me AVAL recipe Since I said no..no.. to that also , she convienced me that itz a food which will be taken during fasting , soI had it .Since she used to make her aval recipe as round balls I named it as “Aval Ladoo”.
This canbe considered as a very good recipe for kids since it is easy to chew and won’t get choaked.
Aval is also known as Poha, Rice flakes etc.So we can say this recipe as “Poha ladoo”, “Riceflakes ladoo “etc (in whatever way you want).
Ingredients
1. Aval :1 cup
2. Sugar :1/4 cup
3. Grated coconut :1/4 cup
4. Roasted cashewnuts for decoration
Preparation
1. Add water to aval and drain the water and keep aside for five minutes so that it will become soft
2. Add sugar and coconut to it and mix well and make round balls.
3. Decorate ladoo’s with cashnewnuts
Tips
Dry grapes (Raisins) also can be used for decoration.
Opputu which is also known as Poli among many people is like a different kind of stuffed sweet chappathi made of maida /all purpose flour.
Like stuffed chappathi
flatten using hand
Ingredients

2. Jaggery – 1 cup (Powder it and keep)
3. Maida/All purpose flour – 2 cups
4. Oil and Salt as needed
Preparation
1. Pressure cook Dal for 4 to 5 whistels. Dal has to be well cooked.
2. When cooker is cool open and drain the water from dal. Switch on the stove again and add jaggery. Mix and mash well with spoon .
Alternate: If you are not able to mash well grind it and keep but remember that it should not be watery. If it is watery make it thick by heating and stirring in low heat for a little while.
3. Add a pinch of salt to maida and knead it smoothly.
4. Make gooseberry sized balls with dough and roll that into chappathi keep the stuffing inside again fully close it and roll it again into chappthi . To get idea idea see stuffed chappathi
Alternate: Make a chappathi with dough. Keep enough stuffing inside.Close it by pulling the edges together and press it with hand /palm to make it flat.
5. Heat a griddle, put the poli and add ghee or oil and cook both sides.
TIPS
If you feel bored to cook dal or you want poli in a different way, then fry shredded coconut (what you will get in Indian stores) and jaggery together but sprinkling few drops of water and use that as stuffing.
