Recipe for Palathalikalu, a dessert from the [Guntur](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guntur%5Fdistrict?ref=kudithipudi.org) region in the state of [Andhra Pradesh](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andhra%5FPradesh?ref=kudithipudi.org) in [India](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India?ref=kudithipudi.org). It is a classical dish and is usually made during the [Sankranthi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankranthi?ref=kudithipudi.org) festival. This used to be a “must have” dish in my childhood, but it has become into a exotic dish in recent times. My brother in law made some recently and I was surprised, how easy it is to make the dish. Here is an attempt to share the knowledge :).

**Ingredients :**

- Rice Flour (1.5 cups)
- Brown Sugar (2 cups)
- Milk (1/2 Gallons)
- Butter (Ghee) (3 tablespoons)
- Cashew Nuts (1/2 cup)
- Cardamom Seeds (eilachi) (\~15)

**Preparation :**

- Knead the rice flour into a dough by adding 1 cup of brown sugar and some warm milk.
- Add the rest of the brown sugar to the milk and bring it to a boiling point
- Put the prepared dough in a [cookie press](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb%5Fss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cookie+press&x=0&y=0&ref=kudithipudi.org) and drop it into the milk as short noodles (use the cookie press template with round holes of \~0.25 inches in diameter)
- Roast the cashews slightly in butter and them to the milk (along with the butter)
- Crush the cardamom seeds and add them to the milk.
- Let all the ingredients boil for \~15 minutes and you are ready to enjoy palathalikalu

Wasn’t that easy? :).. You can also add raisins to the dish based on your preference.
