Thirattipal Sweet | Milk Halwa
Milk based Sweets are an integral part of Diwali Celebrations . Today I prepared Thirattipal, one of my favorites. It is a very rich and delightful sweet made by South Indians for many auspicious occasions. The preparation is time consuming no-doubt, but the end result is absolutely awesome. Traditionally, it is prepared by boiling milk in a wide pan on low heat for long time till it reduces to creamy halwa texture. Also this can be prepared in a jiffy, by microwaving the condensed milk in the oven for just 5 to 6 minutes. Let us see how to prepare this..:)
