Paalkova Ice cream

பால்கோவா ஐஸ்கிரீம் (Paalkova Ice cream)

Paalkova ice cream is an ice cream variety made from palkova. We can use homemade or store bought palkova for this recipe. This ice cream is used to make Jigarthanda as well. We may pour this in popsicle mold and have it as kuchi ice or kulfi.
Last time when I prepared this at home, everyone in my family finished this paalkova Ice Cream before I made Jigarthanda.
