If you are looking for an easy and quick sweet recipe for the upcoming festivals, then you should try this paal halwa recipe. I have bookmarked this recipe last year itself from Srirangam Radhu’s Youtube channel. It is a very old youtube channel, run by a mami and mama, and the videos used to be so casual. Nowadays they are not active on Youtube, but their recipes traditional are always very nice. This milk halwa is similar to paal kesari but the milk dominates in this recipe.
I have posted many recipes for Janmashtami | gokulashtami. We usually make murukku, seedai, appam, payasam, and many other sweets and snacks for neivedyam on this day. I slightly tweaked the measurements according to suit my taste. I added 1/3 cup sugar and felt it is a little on the milder side, so mentioned it in the recipe as 1/2 cup. But if you are a sweet lover you can add 3/4 cup sugar, the original recipe has milk and sugar in equal ratio.

Paal Halwa | Milk halwa recipe
Ingredients

Instructions
- In a heavy bottomed pan add the milk, sugar, ghee and sooji.

- This will thicken in 2-3 minutes.
- Keep stirring it, else it will stick to the bottom.
- I personally don’t prefer adding cardamom powder or saffron to this paal halwa as it will suppress the milk taste.
- Once it comes into a whole mass and leaves on the sides, add the cardamom powder, if you wish to add.
- Mix well and the curd.
- This gives a nice texture to the milk halwa.
