Curd - 1tea spoon

Ghee - 1 and 1/2 tea spoon

Milk - 2 table spoon

Method:

Mix all together in a microwave safe bowl. keep in microwave for 5 to 6 minutes at the max.Don't over cook.

Microwave for 5 minutes uncovered ( Make sure to take them out and give a stir for every 2  minutes).
After the first 5 minutes, take out and give a quick mix and microwave again for 30 seconds.
Some times it may be ready by now and it really depends on the power of the microwave.
This is how it looked after 5 min and 30 seconds.

But mine wasn't ready, so i kept in the microwave for another 15 seconds.

Each microwave is different so keep an eye after 5 minutes,When the texture becomes porous and thick, it's time to stop.
Let it cool down for few minutes, then transfer to a airtight container, else not they would become hard.
Quick and easy Milk kova / Paal kova is ready!

Thirattu paal

Ingredients:

2% or whole Milk - 6 cups
fresh lemon juice - 2 table spoon
karupatti(Palm jaggery) - 1 cup or to taste
vellam( jaggery) - 1/4 cup or to taste.
cardamom- 2

Method:
 
This is one of the Chettinad traditional food.Boil 6 cups of milk( I used 2%) in a heavy bottom vessel( keep stirring occassionally to avoid milk getting burnt at the bottom).Once it comes to  boil, keep the  flame in low and add the lemon juice.Keep stiring and now the milk would start to curddle.Once it curddles add the jaggery and palm jaggery ( increase or decrease the sweetness as per your taste).keep stiring inbetween in a low flame for  a long time( it took more than 3 hrs for me).The water would slowly evaporate and it would start thickening up.If you like cardamom you can add it at this stage.The consistency would be little watery and not as thick as milk kova.Once that consitency is reached switch off the flame. After it cools down, it tightens a little bit.

Note: After the Milk curddles, its full of wave water and it takes lot of time for all the water to eavporate.I removed 1 cup of wave water and then added the jaggery and palm jaggery.still it took 3 hrs on a low flame.
