Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Desserts, Goan Dishes, Ice-Creams N Puddings, Sweets
Kharvas is made from colostrum milk also called as first milk.It is produced by cows for few days after gving birth to a calf.Usually it is prepared by the first 3 days milk from the cows who gave birth to calves. It is one of my favourite sweets. This is shravan month and its said that many cows give birth to calfs mostly in this season. So you get lot of this milk in this month.It tastes very nice and is famous in goa,maharahtra and karnataka. In most of the sweet shops they sell this sweet dish, but they do not use colostrum milk at all. They use normal thick milk and mix some other ingredients in it to get the thickeness. It tastes best only with colostrum milk.
INGREDIENTS:
1 litre colostrum milk
400 ml fresh coconut milk
1 cup jaggery
2 tea spoon jeera powder(cumin)
1 table spoon khaskhas(poppy seeds)
1 tea spoon turmeric
1/4 nutmeg
4 table spoon cashewnut pieces
1 tea spoon cardoman powder
METHOD:
Take the colostrum milk in a bowl. Mix the jaggery in it so that it dissolves completely in it. add jaggery according to your taste.
Now take a mixer and add cashew nuts, cumin powder, poppy seeds, turmeric powder. Grate a little nutmeg in it and grind the mixer to a paste.
Mix this paste with the milk and jaggery mixture.now add the coconut milk and cardoman powder to it and mix well to form a even mixture.
Pour it into a vessel and steam for 20 mins. It will became hard.Let it cool.
After 2-3 hours of colling cut into pieces and serve . It needs some standing time of 2-3 hours then it tastes its best.Can be served chilled also.
Preparation Time:30 mins
