For the first day of regional cuisine from a country theme, I have a sweet to start with. Kada /Karah Prasad is the sweet offered as prasad in gurudwar. This is a famous Punjabi sweet. When I visited Gurudwar in Delhi, they served this prasad hot and it was so tasty. Usually prasad given in […]
For the third day of bite sized foods for Kid’s Delight, here is one more nutella recipe. My daughter is a huge fan of nutella and when I read so many bad reviews about nutella, I decided to make it at home. As we don’t get hazel nuts easily, I used peanuts and almonds to […]
When I first decided on making Indian Sweets for the April Mega Marathon this year, I didn’t have a plan. But once I started making the sweets, a plan started emerging. My love for milk sweets comes from my Dad and making this BM a tribute to him would be apt. So I chose to […]
Can you make a complicated dessert with just milk and sugar? Yes you can. And it is really interesting. When I fist read about Sharbhaja, I was in two minds, whether to do it or not. But as the recipe was really technical, I wanted to go for it. I made it the last post […]
Paal Mittai is one more recipe I got from the cook book collection. During 2010, I got Chandra Padmanaban’s Southern Flavours for review and I loved all those authentic recipes. One such recipe was her Mother-in-law’s paal mittai / milk fudge. The recipe was so different from all the recipes I have made earlier and I […]
During the earlier stages of blogging, I used to collect so many cook books. Those books gave me ideas on making dishes, though I rarely cook recipes from books. When I exhausted the recipes from internet, I referred to some of my books. One was Tarla Dalal’s Rajasthani Cook Book. I am a great fan […]
When I first read about thabadi peda from Gujarat I felt that it was so much similar to Thirattu paal and Belgaum kunda. But there are small variation in the recipe and the way the sweets are finally shaped also makes the difference. There are not too many recipes online. One recipe was totally made […]
Gulab Jamun samosa is a delicious sweet made combining two if my favourite dishes. I saw this at Vaishali’s blog and decided to make it. This is a really innovative recipe and only Vaishali can come up with such recipes. As I had some samosa dough recipes lined up, I decided to make this part […]
Chenna Kheeri is a simple yet delicious dessert from Odisha. Crumbled paneer is roasted in ghee and then milk and sugar are added and boiled together to get kheer consistency. In some recipes the consistency of the kheer was thick, but some made it like South Indian payasam. As I like it at payasam consistency, […]
I have made a sandwich chum chum before. So when I came across this version of chom chom, I wanted to try it. There is so much confusion going on in the blogging world. For every recipe name, there are numerous variations and I guess mine will add to it. Lol! There was one recipe […]
