Ingredients

½ can sweetened condensed milk about 7 oz
2 teaspoon yogurt

Instructions

Pour the condensed milk to a large bowl (about a 10 cup capacity bowl, glass bowl preferred, so you can see when it is in the microwave).
Add a teaspoon of yogurt to it and mix it in.
Microwave for 1 minute. The first minute should be fine, in terms of it bubbling up.
Add the other teaspoon of yogurt and mix well. Microwave in intervals of 30 secs for a total of 3 ½ to 4 mins. Pause and restart every time it starts to bubble up a lot.
After every 30 sec interval, take the bowl out and mix well. At the end of it it should all come together to be a loosely solid mass.
Serve warm or cold.

Notes

In a traditional Palkova, there is no other flavoring ingredient like cardamom, saffron or rose. I have topped the palkova with some saffron and dried rose as a garnish while serving. This is completely optional and not needed at all.
