Theratti pal recipe / Therattu pal recipe

Theratti paal is a traditional South Indian sweet made with milk and jaggery, flavored with cardamom and garnished with nuts. This creamy and delicious dessert is popular during festivals and special occasions, and is known for its rich and indulgent taste. Learn how to make this delectable dessert with our easy-to-follow recipe and impress your guests with your culinary skills.

Theratti paal is definitely simple in terms of the ingredients. Just simple ingredients only to make this traditional version. Moong dal, coconut milk and jaggery. That’s all!!!… Not even so much of ghee is used in the authentic recipe.

It is difficult because of the time taken and the labouring hand job of stirring mixing and scraping. To get a large cup of delicious thirattupal (around 300g), we may have to wait for more than one hour.

But trust me, all the time and effort definitely worth it! … when you see the golden brown grainy halwa come together you will forget all the pain and will definitely fall in love with it.

If someone asks me this question the straight simple answer would be” Cook thick milk until it becomes solids and mix the jaggery until it comes together”. But it is not as quick as it sounds. To get the authentic thirattupal there are no shortcuts.
