Instructions
 

Preparing the Palm Extract

  • Wash the palm fruits thoroughly and peel off the skin. Gently massage the fruits with a pinch of salt until softened.
  • Use a sharp-edged glass or tool to carefully scrape the palm seeds, extracting the juice. Sprinkle with water as needed to facilitate extraction.
  • Strain the extracted juice through a muslin cloth or kitchen towel to remove excess water. For best results, allow it to drain overnight.

Making the Palm Sweet

  • Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the palm extract and stir continuously until the water evaporates and the extract thickens.
  • Add the butter and stir until melted. Then, add the semolina, sugar, and milk powder.
  • Continue to stir constantly until the mixture forms a non-sticky dough. Remove from heat.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly, then shape it into desired forms using your hands.
  • Garnish with chopped cashews before serving.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Palm Sweet

  • For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of regular butter.
  • If the mixture becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of warm milk to adjust the consistency.
  • Experiment with adding cardamom powder or other spices for a unique twist.
  • Store the Palm Sweet in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
