Microwave Thirattipal

Introduction:
Thirattipal, one of my favourites, is a South Indian sweet dish made by reducing milk. It traditionally requires heating milk in an open container over a high flame for more than an hour until it thickens to an almost solid consistency. It requires the bare minimum of ingredients - milk, butter and sugar. The recipe below takes about ten minutes but since it uses pre-sweetened condensed milk you're not free to adjust the amount of sugar that goes into it. Still, it's not too bad for ten minutes!

Ingredients:
Condensed milk, sweetened - 1 tin
Yogurt - 1 tbsp
Ghee - 2-3 tsp

Time: 10 minutes
Servings: about 6

Method:
In a microwave safe bowl, mix the ghee, condensed milk and yogurt well. Microwave on high for two minutes, mix well. Repeat once or twice. With each step, the mixture will get thicker.
Cool (refrigerate if necessary) and serve.
