Confused about the title? If there can be a word called Bachelor cooking, why not Spinster cooking?? :-)
Coming to the topic... One of the advantages of staying in a shared accommodation (where you need to cook on your turn) is that you get to try out many new recipes (even if you are lazy, you'll get bitten by that enthu bug once in a while). I used to try out a lotta new recipes, sometimes even come up with my own and sometimes add a little bit of my creativity to some new recipes available over net... Here is one such combination....
Thirattuppal (Milk halwa) is one of my favourite sweets. One fine weekend, I badly wanted to taste thirattuppal, but was not ready to put in hours of effort like my Mom, to make Thirattuppal. I browsed over the net to find a recipe which is easy to make... I found one and added a little bit of my creativity to it and voila... it came out decently good....
(P.S - You can check with my friends over here who have tasted my Thirattuppal and have become a great fan of that.. Ok.. Ok.. That was a little bit of exaggeration.. But you need to believe me that everyone said it's good.. )
So, here is the recipe...
Thirattuppal (Milk halwa)
Ingredients -
Ricotta cheese - 1 box (You'll get this in major Indian/American stores)
Condensed milk - 1 tin (Sweetened/non-sweetened doesn't matter actually)
Sugar - 8-10 table spoons (This actually depends on how much sweet toothed you are... you can add more if you like)
Ghee - 2 table spoons
Procedure -
1) Empty the Ricotta cheese, Condensed milk and sugar in a microwavable bowl (a bowl with lid is preferred) and stir the contents slightly. It doesn't matter if everything doesn't get mixed up well. While heating, they will.
2) Keep the bowl in Microwave oven in high power for 20 minutes (Open every 5 minutes and stir the contents). You can add sugar anytime you want now.
3) Add ghee, stir the contents again and keep the bowl in oven for 7 minutes (you need to stir after the first 4 minutes).
4) Thirattuppal is ready... Leave it to cool for sometime... Even after it is cooled, if you feel that it's not solidified, you can keep it in the micorowave for another 3-4 minutes stirring once every 2 minutes).
This procedure is so easy and the end product tastes awesome.. atleast I liked it... ;-)

I think this is also little difficult for bachelors. We will buy it :)
I tried it and the paalkova was awesome. We are lucky to be her neighbours since we get to taste her exquisite dishes.
@Prashanthi:
Looks pretty easy and try-able. Let me see how it comes out of my oven.

Going by Podhigai's standards, thirattupal and the likes (and particularly, cooking them in an oven instead of a gas stove) will be totally new to its viewers and u can soon become chef queen!!
@Rajaji:
Hey thanks for the brilliant idea..

Very Nice recipe. Actually, we are fortunate to have a wonderful cook as neighbour. So, stay next door and try more new recipes :)
