Koova Kaachiyathu/ Arrowroot Milk
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup thin coconut milk
- 2 tsp arrowroot powder/ kookapodi
- A pinch of cardamom powder optional but highly recommended
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a thick bottomed saucepan and keep on low flame. Stir now and then till the mixture becomes boiled and starts to thicken slightly – the consistency will change from watery to glossy.
- Switch off and serve warm!
Notes
You can make this completely out of milk alone, like how I had it at that aunty’s house. But I love the combination and flavor that milk and coconut milk gives together, so I prefer making it like this.
Do not add more than 1 tsp of arrowroot powder per cup of liquid added. Arrowroot thickens and starts acting similar to corn flour and too much of it will give a “kurukku” (thick mixture) instead of “kaachiyathu”!
