South Indian Delight Pearl Millet Laddu / Kambu Laddu

With my new found passion for millets when I recently mentioned to one of my close friend that I had prepared curd rice when she mentioned millets would also taste wonderfull as laddus.So I found a recipe online and tried it out immediately.

This laddu has a wonderfull crunchy and crispy texture that would break softly and make you feel excited with every bite.And as it is packed with nutrition you can have it guilt free !!

Millets are also a great economic booster to the farming community so its my small contribution to make India self reliant and healthy.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup pearl millet (Bajra, Kambu)
  • 1 cup grated jaggery
  • 1 tbsp chopped cashewnuts
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 3-4 cardamom crushed
  • 5 tbsp ghee
Procedure
Dry roast the pearl millet until a nice aroma drifts in the air or until it is light golden color. Let it cool for some time, then grind it to make it a powder.

Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter or ghee in a pan, add cashewnuts and raisins and fry till golden brown. Switch off the flame, add the above millet powder, jaggery, cardamon powder to this mixture and mix properly.The heat of the pan will make the jaggery melt a little and blend nicely into the mixture.

Transfer the whole mixture to a plate , take portion by portion of mixture, add little ghee and make your laddus.

Note:
In place of jaggery you can use sugar

You can replace the ghee with honey and also reducie the quantity of jaggery, so that you laddu is sweet and binded.

The Exotic Chenna Poda / Caramelized Cottage Cheese


If there is one sweet that is famous in orissa as a signature dessert it would be chenna poda. This exotic baked cottage cheese cake is traditionally baked in oven or earthen fire. The burnt smell is awesome and good to taste.The literal meaning of chena poda is burnt cheese; chena is cottage cheese and poda means burnt.

Without wasting a moment try out the recipe and enjoy a mouthwatering dessert.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup grated paneer
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp rava/semolina
  • 3 crushed elaichi/cardamom
  • 2 tbsp kishmish/dry grape
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
For caramel
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp water 
Preparation
Mix the paneer with semolina and knead it till becomes a soft and smooth dough. This process will take approximately 5 min. Now add the sugar, cardamom ,kishmish and baking powder and knead it for 3-4 minutes.Cover and keep it aside for 15 min




In the meantime prepare the caramel.

Heat a non stick pan low flame, add the sugar and let it melt.Shake the pan occasionally to make the sugar melt uniformly.It will become liquid and slow turn to golden brown.Keep a close watch over it otherwise it will burn.Once its caramelized to golden brown add the water and it will start bubbling and again  it will become more liquid.







Now pour the caramel into the baking bowls/tray and spread it quickly as much as possible and keep aside and let it cool.I used four ramekin bowls.

Fill the bowls with the paneer dough , press it uniformly and cover with aluminium foil.


Preheat the oven for 180 degrees, take a big bowl and fill with 1 inch deep water.Place the bowls/tray in this water and bake for 45 - 50 minutes or till it becomes light golden brown, test with a toothpick and it should come out clean.

Remove from oven and let it cool, invert the chenna poda out of the bowls in a small plate and serve warm.

A Besan Sooji Barfi for a Celebration

The celebration of my 200th post seems to coincide with a popular Ranbir Kapoor movie "Barfi"!! This besan sooji barfi will definitely take you to a new high. It is also one of my favorite sweets my mom used to make for me from childhood.

This barfi has a unique chrunchy texture and melts in your mouth effortlessly.I am dedicating the celebration of my 200th post to my mom. Here is the recipe she taught me ...

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup besan/chickpea flour
  • 1 cup sooji/semolina
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut(fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup ghee/clarified butter
  • pinch of cooking soda
  • 2 crushed cardomon
Procedure
Add a tsp ghee to a plate and spread on the plate completely and keep aside.
Fry coconut,besan,sooji each seperately with a tbsp of ghee and then mix all together and keep aside.

To prepare the syrup take a heavy deep bottom pan dissolve the sugar in 1/2 cup water and boil till it has a one thread consistency.

Now add the fried flour mixture prepared earlier to the syrup and begin to stir it well.
Then add ghee slowly spoon by spoon and continue stiring,when adding the last spoon of ghee add the cooking soda and crushed cardomaon and continue stiring.

Once the mixture starts to seperate from the pan bottom stop the process immediately .Spread it in the ghee coated plate equally, immediately cut to desired shape, and let it cool.

Once it cools you can remove it piece by piece and store it.
Note:
  • It is very crucial the mixture should not overcook, once it begins to seperate from pan immediately remove from flame otherwise it will crumble to tiny lumps.
  •  Adding soda makes it melt faster when you have a bite.
  •  To spread the mixture in the plate equally while pouring,tap the plate it continously for mixture to settle equally.
  •  It is important to cut the shapes after you pour it into the plate immediately as it wouldnt be possible once it cools.

Modaks for Lord Ganesh


Wishing all my blogger friends a very happy ganesh chaturthi. I prepared modaks for lord ganesh. Though everybody is familiar with this recipe but I still feel like sharing this recipe.

We used to make modaks with different shapes and we call it traditionally jilladu kayalu and it is moon shaped. My mom and MIL use to make these with moon shape but I love the modak shape. And it is lovely to hold and give it away.

My hubby wanted to distribute some prasad in the office so I prepared the modak style and pack it in a roche box !! It was my first attempt and I loved it.

While preparing these modaks it undergoes several steps

1. Making the rice flour
2. Making the dough for the shell
3. Making the filling
4. Moulding the modaks into a perfect shape and steaming

Here is the recipe below


Preparing the Rice flour
Soak the rice for one hour and drain the water completely. Spread on a dry cloth for 10 minutes then make a fine powder in a mixie/blender. Sieve it and use if for the dough.

Preparing the Dough

Ingredients
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oil

Boil the water and salt the oil. Then add the flour mix contiously till it lump free and blended completely with water.
Keep it aside and let it cool for ten minutes. Then knead it nicely to a smooth dough. Cover and keep it aside.

Preparing the filling

Ingredients
  • 1 cup grated coconut
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 cup water
Mix all the above three ingredients in a large deep bowl. And put it on a medium flame and mix continuously with spatula , the sugar will start to melt and slowly blend with the coconut. All the sugar syrup will evaporate slowly and begin to solidify when you have take it off the flame. Note : Be careful not to make it too dry.


Preparing the Modak

Apply some ghee on your palms and again knead the dough nicely. Divide it into small lemon size balls and put one ball in your left palm and pat it into a round shape with your other hand into a 3 inch diameter. Sides should be thin.

Take a scoop of coconut filling and put it in the center.

And start folding it with small bends and finally enclose it.


Now steam it in a idly steamer for 5-7 minutes.

Remove and serve warm.

You can also refridgerate it for longer shelf life.

Note: Rice flour should be very fine, do not use excess water when making dough .
Dont use too much stuffing for modaks otherwise they will break apart.

Crispy Juicy Jalebi


Hi friends I have been not very consistent in my posts due to some unavoidable reasons. Last month it was my hubbys birthday and I had asked him what special he wanted me to prepare and he instantly replied Jalebi. This is my third attempt and I had failed twice so this time I did more research on the net and got the perfection I wanted. It was a wonderful experience .

Jalebi has been always one of my favorite sweets,its crunchy outer crust and soft sweet inner juicy feel makes it divine. In punjab warm jalebis are eaten with a topping of curd and in west bengal it is eaten as a breakfast dessert. I never miss a jalebi treat when we go out to any punjabi dhaba.

Courtesy of the recipe goes to vahrehvah chef.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup maida (all purpose flour)
  • 1/4 cup corn flour
  • 2 drops orange food color
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup curd
  • 1 tbsp hot oil
Mix all the above ingredients without lumps in a deep bottom bowl, then add one hot tbsp of oil and mix again.cover it and let it sit in a warm place and ferment for 24 hours.

I kept it for 20hr and it was well fermented.Mix the batter nicely with spatula or hand and It should have a continous consistency,check if not add some maida or water to get the required consistency.

To make suger syrup ,take one cup sugar in a seperate bowl and heat with little water ,the sugar should dissolve and form a sugar syrup with one string consistency

Heat oil to a temperature between low to medium heat to fry the jalebis

( Click all images for enlarged view)

Take a zip lock bag and make a small hole at the bottom centre of it ,pour the batter into it ,slowly squeeze the batter and give a shape of swirl direct in the frying pan .

Swirl the batter into the oil and fry till light golden brown.

Remove the jalebi and dip in the syrup for 20 sec and remove it immediately

Note: While making these jilebi the batter should be flowy and consistent and the oil temperature should not be too hot. At the perfect temperature the jalebi whould rise from the bottom of pan slowly.

Watch the video on youtube

I am sending this recipe to a wonderful event "Bookmarked Recipes" hosted by Priya and Aipi

Pinni - A Perfect Energy Laddu

( Click image for enlarged view )

Hi dearies .... hope u all in good health. It has been a been long vacation and I really missed u all and your wonderfull creations. Thank you so much for all your good wishes and comments.

I spent a good time this whole month, I was tempted to post a recipe but I reminded myself that I am on a vacation : P.In this visit I learnt some new dishes.One of them was this wheat laddu that I learnt from my SIL who is from north india,we had prepared it together. This is made in Rajasthan, Punjab and UP. It is a great treat for kids as it tastes very yummy, also ideal for mothers who have just delivered a baby.As it is also very soft and powdery once in your mouth it would melt easily, it is very ideal for old people too.It is recommended to be eaten with a glass of milk to give complete nutrition.So here is the recipe......

Ingredients:
  • 250 gms wheat flour
  • 250 gms sugar
  • 250 gms ghee
  • 15 gms dry ginger
  • 25 gms chopped cashew
  • 25 gms chopped dry coconut
  • 25 gms chopped almonds
  • 25 gms chopped muskmelon seeds
  • 25 gms chopped makhana
( Click image for enlarged view )

Cooking Procedure

Heat 1/2 of the ghee in a big pan, when it melts completely and begins to simmer add the wheat flour and make the flame to low and stir continously till a nice aroma comes from it and changes its color to light golden brown. Switch off the flame and keep aside for it to cool.

Heat some ghee and deep fry the makhani till it becomes crispy but it should not change its color.Shift the makhani to a plate and let it cool, then crush them with your hands.

Remove all the ghee from the pan into ghee container.

Heat just 1 tbsp ghee and in the same pan and fry the ginger(whole piece) till itbecomes crispy and keep aside to cool. Grind it to a fine powder and keep aside.

Keep 1 tbsp ghee in the pan and fry the chopped chashew on a low flame till golden brown.Shift to plate

And do the same for the rest dry fruits(almonds,muskmelon seeds) and coconut and keep all aside to cool.

Sugar Crystallization Process :
In a deep bottom pan add sugar along with 1 cup of water and stir on medium flame. The sugar will pass through 4 stages (Sugar > Syrup > Thick Syrup > Sugar ) We should be constantly stirring to avoid lumps. In the end it will again be crystal sugar.... if u have some lumps remove them and grind them. Remove to plate and let it cool.

Now take this sugar and with wheat flour evenly, then all the ingredient except ghee.Mix nicely.

Divide the mixture into small portions and add and the required amount of ghee to one portion and shape it into a nice ball.Your Laddus are ready ,shift them to dry container after 2 to 3 hrs.

Note:
If it difficult to fry the total wheat flour at a time then mix the ghee n flour first n divide it to 3 parts n individually u can fry each part separately in a pan ,which will make task easy.

You will finally get to make 10 laddus and these ladoos have a shelf life of one month so u can prepare more to keep it in stock .
