Pala Talikalu

To all my readers and friends, Wish u a Happy and Blessed Shivaratri!!!!

Pala talikalu, is one of the dishes my mom used to prepare for Vinayaka Chavithi as  naivedyam (prasadam). Today as a shivarathi special I prepared this delicious dish.

Pala talikalu is prepared with rice dough strings ,these  are slowly simmered in milk, coconut, jaggery, flavored with cardamom and garnished with cashews and raisins.



Ingredients:

Milk – 2 cups
Rice Flour – 1 cup
Jaggery – ½ cup
Grated Coconut – 2 tsps
Cardamom powder a pinch
Ghee – 2 tsps
Cashews, Raisins
Water 1 cup

Preparation

  • Roast rice flour powder in a vessel for 2-3 mins and keep aside.
  • In a bowl take 2-3tsp of  rice flour powder and mix with water like a thick paste and keep aside.
  • In another separate bowl mix the rest rice flour with water and make dough(like chapathi)
  • Take the dough in janthikalu maker with medium size hole plate and press the flour in a vessel.
  • Pressure cook these rice strings without whistle for 10 mins.

  • Boil milk in microwave for 2mins.
  • Boil ½ cup water, add the above boiled milk, once it comes to full boil add the prepared cooked rice strings  and let it boil for another 10mins.
  • In the meantime, take ½ cup of water and mix jaggery and boil till it dissolves in water.
  • Add this jaggery water to the boiling milk.
  • Add granted coconut and cardamom powder and let it cook for 2 -3 mins
  • Fry cashew nuts and raisins in one tsp of ghee and add it palathalikalu.
