Nowadays, Palkova is prepared by adding milk, milk powder or condensed milk. But back in those days, Palkova was made by using the traditional and the healthiest palm sugar, also called as the Panai Vellam and fresh milk. This combination is both healthy and tasty when compared to the former method. Palkova is made in an iron utensil and firewood fuel, which is the most traditional method in preparing.
