Hope all of you are doing good... well today to start up with I have a recipe which each and every person relishes on... Any Guess ??? Well I am going to give you the recipe for boondi Laddu.... Yummy I love laddu and mostly in Indian culture it is the only sweet which you can find in any occasion.... I have mentioned below the recipe:

Ladle with holes

First take the Gram Flour and pour little water and mix it properly. Make the batter in such a way that if poured on the ladle it should drip down… Now take the oil and heat it in a pan. Once the oil is hot pour the batter and prepare the boondi.. The boondi should be crispy. Once it is done take the Water and put sugar in it and make the sugar syrup. The sugar syrup should be sticky.. In this syrup put the boondi along with cardamom powder, Ghee and the nuts… Mix it properly and let it simmer for some time in low heat… Once done remove it from stove and pour this in another vessel and start making laddus… Make sure you give it the shape when it is hot or else we won’t be able to make the laddus…  I prepared it and was very happy with the results… hope you people would try it out once… it’s really a very simple recipe….

Suji - Rava Laddu (Semoline)

Hi Friends, 

I was held up with certain works thats the reason I could not post recipes. Today I am going to post the recipe for Suji - Rava Laddu (Semolina)... Semolina is the coarse and purified form of durum wheat... Rava laddu is one of the easiest one to prepare.... There are two methods of preparing Rava Laddu... but I prefer the one I have mentioned below... This tastes good.... 

Below is the Recipe :

Rava - 2 cups

Ghee – 1 ½ cups

Sugar – 2 cups or as per taste

Salt – a pinch

Cashew – 20 pieces

Raisins – 20 pieces

Milk – ½ cup

Water – optional

First you need to roast the rava keeping in medium flame…The rava should be roasted till a brown colour is formed… When it is done transform it to another vessel and take ghee in the same pan and fry cashew and raisins… Remove them and keep it aside… add the rest of the ghee and mix the rava in this… add the sugar and mix it properly… Then add the Cashew and Raisins… At last you can either add the Milk or Water… If you want the laddus to remain for a longer period try to add water or else if you are going to consume it soon then you can add Milk in it… Mix all the ingredients properly… transfer it to another vessel and start shaping them into small balls. I am very bad in making round laddus… hope you people might have found out this from the pictures of my laddu… Store it in an airtight container. Hope you people liked it… meet you again with a different recipe next time… J

Rasgulla

Hi Everyone...  First of all thanks to all of you who tried my last recipe and gave their feedback... Well tomorrow being a holiday I am going to give you a recipe for a sweet dish which is very famous in India... This sweet is made or brought mainly during festive times... Its a very simple recipe but many times people dont try it...It is a syrupy sweet dish originally from Orissa. I prepared it and everyone liked it... Below is the recipe for the same...

Ingredients :

Milk - 2 litre
Lime - 2 spoon
Sugar - 2 cups
Water - 3 cups

In a pan boil the Milk first. Take the lime and mix with 4 tbsp of water and pour this into the boiling milk. Stir the Milk continuously until the whey water separates and milk curdles completely. Once the Milk curdles take a Muslin Cloth and pour the Curdled Milk into it. Keep this under tap water and wash the Paneer thoroughly to get rid of the lemon smell. Once it is done squeeze the Paneer properly to remove the excess water. 

Take the paneer and mash it properly in a rough surface to make it smooth. The more smooth you make the paneer the more good the rasgulla's will be. knead the paneer for few minutes until you get a smooth dough. Now divide the dough into equal portions and roll them into smooth balls. See to that there is no crack in the balls. Take a pressure cooker and put the sugar and water together and boil it to make the syrup. Once the syrup starts boiling add the paneer balls into it. keep the flame to minimum and close the pressure cooker. keep it for 10 mins. Once the vapour is released open the pressure cooker and you will find the rasgulla in double size. You can take it to a serving bowl and keep it in refrigerator and serve it chilled. 

Its a very easy recipe... hope all of you will give a try... Meet you again with a new post...

Unniyappam -

After coming to Kuwait my main job is cooking.... In India I use to cook once in a while but here I have to cook on a daily basis as I have become a homemaker...hence at the end of the day I need to give the best food for my hubby... He loves my cooking and the way it turns out to be... Though we get everything over here but its very costly compared to India. I really miss being in Chennai... I created this blog a long time ago but I dint get time to do blogging so far. As I was going through many blogs I felt why don't I come up with my own blog for cooking. To start up with I am going to give you the recipe for a traditional Kerala snack called Unniyappam. It is a traditional snack prepared during festive times... My hubby inspired me to prepare this as he likes this a lot... I was doubtful when i started to prepare it as I dint have the Unniyappam pan but i managed to prepare it using normal pan. 

The recipe is as below 

• Rice Flour - 2 cup
• Banana - 2 ripe (mashed properly)
• Jaggery - 3/4 cup
• Cardamon powder - 1/4 tsp
• Sesame Seeds - 1tsp
• Coconut bits - 3 tbsp 
• Ghee or oil to fry
• Salt - a pinch
• Aniseed (Perinjeerakam) Powder - 1/4 tsp
• Milk - One glass (Optional)

First take the Rice flour and put cardamon powder, sesame seeds, Aniseed and salt into it and mix properly. In another vessel mash the banana properly and mix with the flour. In a pan heat oil and fry the coconut bits. Mix the fried coconut with the rice flour. Head a pan and melt the jaggery and pour slowly into the Rice flour. See to that it is mixed properly. If batter is too thick add little milk to it. 

The consistency of batter should be similar to idli batter.  keep it aside for 2 hrs to 3 hrs. 

Take a pan and pour the oil and heat it. Start pouring the batter slowly and fry it in medium heat. Take it out when the colour changes to brownish yellow.

Serve hot and do keep it in an air tight container for storage. 

Hope all of you liked it... do leave your valuable comments :-)
