Kova Kajjikayalu -- Kova Raskora

Kova Kajjikayalu
A very special and traditional Andhra festival sweet. In my childhood days, I prefer this sweet from shop. My dad brought one or two pieces for me as it was very expensive. To avoid my crankiness mom learned making of it. And she did it for me. Nice thing to remember. :)  I learned it from her.
This is a sweet made with milk solids and coconut. Earlier people used to make kova i.e. milk solids i the house itself, but now we get it in the market also. I have a sweet shop near by my house where in I can order for it an hour or so before hand and can get a fresh kova without wasting my gas and time :P

  3. Heat a thick bottomed vessel or kadai, combine coconut and jaggery. 
  4. Mix well and cook on low to medium flame. 
  5. Cook till jaggery melts and the mixture becomes thick and lumpy.
  6. Check it by making small ladoo out of it, if it forms a thick ladoo, it is done. 
  7. Remove from the flame and allow it to cool. 
  8. When this mixture warm enough to handle make small ladoos. 
  9. I made 15 ladoos with this mixture, of course they are small lemon sized only. keep them aside.

  10. Add powdered sugar to the khoya. If khoya is hot sugar melts and making the outer layer is a tricky job.
  11. Make a smooth dough out of it.
