Ingredients
- 250 gm Palm Extract
- 150 gm Butter
- 100 gm Sugar
- 50 gm Semolina suji
- 150 gm Milk Powder
- 100 gm Cashews
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

- 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.
