Paal Halwa is one of the popular sweets of Srivilliputhur, which people often mistake for Palkova. Both the sweets begin with the same ingredients – fresh milk and sugar, and have almost the same cooking method, but there are many differences between the two when it comes to taste, texture, and colour.
The first distinguishing factor that makes them different is the amount of cooking time along with the process used in the end. In Paal Halwa, the milk gets caramelled as the sweet is cooked slowly. Depending on the traditional recipe, few prefer adding pure ghee while some even like to add country sugar to get the desired taste.
The simplest way to differentiate them is by seeing their colour. While Palkova has a light golden or cream white colour, Paal Halwa has a rich golden brown colour with a smooth and shiny look.
