Being on vacation and going through the hottest period of the year, my daughter wanted something chilled everyday last month. So I stocked a large box of strawberry icecream. And also I always stock my refrigerator with boiled milk so that I could whip her something in a jiffy. I also have a habit of […]
With mango season at the peak, I am making so many recipes using the delicious mangoes available. How could I not make jam? This is a really simple recipe with just three ingredients. It doesn’t have any added preservatives and so it is better to refrigerate it and use. And also make only small batches. […]
This week, I am doing three drinks for the Kid’s Delight theme. While I was going through some authentic beverages, the name piyush caught my attention. When I read about the recipe, I know I had to do it. When I was a kid, I used to love lassi. Whenever I got bored during holidays, […]
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 […]
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 […]
When I posted Dharwad Peda (mawa version) earlier, I told you that I also made the paneer version of the peda. So here it is. I saw a few recipes that used paneer as the base and so I tired it out. When the paneer changed colour, it also became quite crispy. Even adding milk […]
