SWEETS
Khus Khus Jo Seero
Today is day sixth of the Blogging Matathon. I prepared this sweet for today’s pooja. This was amazingly delicious and rich with loads of dry fruits, nuts, milk and poppy seeds. We had a small portion after the pooja and I will be distributing this to my friends. I hope…
Tosha
This is a Sindhi sweet and I prepared it for the fifth day of Blogging Marathon. It is absolutely delicious and the taste resembles the south Indian Badushah. But it doesn’t look like it. I have seen many bloggers posting tosha. BM has given me an oppurtunity to try it out. It…
Baklava with Home Made Phyllo Sheets
Erica of Erica’s Edibles challenged the Daring Bakers to prepare Phyllo Sheets from scratch and prepare the famous Baklava. I have always wanted to prepare baklava, but as we don’t get phyllo sheets here, I skipped it. But when I came to know that phyllo sheets can be made at home,…

7 Cup Burfi
I didn’t know about this sweet till marriage. My hubby’s sister taught me this. The sweet uses 7 cups of ingredients(The totla number of ingredients sum up to 7. You can see it in the ingredient list). It slightly resembles the mysorepak. Yesterday I prepared this for neivedhyam. These are…
Porikadalai Urundai
This is a very simple laddu. Ghee is used as the binding ingredient in this laddu. Actually the mixture of fried gram powder and sugar powder added with ghee must be crumbly and when you shape them into laddu you need to give lot of pressure. When cool the laddu…
