Paal Ice Recipe / Milk Ice / Milk Popsicle

Paal Ice Recipe
Paal Ice - Have you tasted Paal Ice/ Milk Ice?! It is one among my favorites.I have seen and tasted Paal Ice during my school days where we get these from small thallu vandi(small cart) vendors, they used ring a special bell stopping at each house which would alarm all kids to come out to buy ice pops.After that I haven't seen or tasted paal ice not really sure whether paal ice now exists.Also now I am scared to expose mittu to these street selling ice pops, as I am not confident about the water they use.So thought to try paal ice for her at home.Paal ice which I tasted was creamy but am sure they would not have used any expensive and rich ingredients like condensed milk etc.....Having been successful with cornflour to get the creamy texture, I decided to use cornflour and the end result was great.

I hope regular readers know about my popsicle mania so I am enjoying making different popsicle varieties this summer and mittu is enjoying eating them :) Of all the popsicles tried so far for this summer, this paal ice and rose milk ice tops the list.Mittu always asks me to use the popsicle lids seeing me use icecream sticks, so this time to fulfill her wish I used the color color lids which came with my popsicle moulds.
