RAVA LADOO

March 10, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Rava ladoo is one of the easiest and tastiest of the ladoo recipes that i know.It takes hardly 10 minutes to make this,,could you believe that?And it is filling to eat as well.I made this long back and it was due for long to post and here it comes.Mostly people think it is hard to make any kind of ladoo and for beginners this might sound pretty tricky but when you use the correct proportion of ingredients and mix well ladoo making will turn in to child’s play.So next time when preparing ladoos keep these points in mind and go…

MOHAN THAL/GRAM FLOUR FUDGE

February 14, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Mohan Thal is actually a dessert from Rajasthan where sweets are eaten at almost any time of the day.It is a gram flour based fudge, but unlike it’s south Indian cousin Mysore Pak it has a crumbled consistency and the taste is simply unique and awesome.It is also served as prasad in many temples in north India and so can be called as sweets for the GODS.I had this at my north indian friend’s wedding many years back and the taste still lingers in my tongue.This recipe was given to me by my mother from a cookery magazine.It doesn’t sound…

Gulab jamuns are an all time favorite at home.Come what the occasion i always indulge in making them but ofcourse each time with the readymade mix available in the market.But i was so much tempting to make soft,melt in the mouth consistency jamuns with khova for quite a long time.It was an easy method i adapted from an old cook book my friend gifted me.Believe me it was an instant hit and i decided if i were to make jamuns from now on i’ll make this only this way.So here comes the easiest and tastiest way to a sweet indulgence…

BADUSHA

October 17, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

Badusha is a very sweet recipe made during Diwali or in weddings.Though it appears a difficult task to make these sugar syrup soaked dumplings,when properly made with correct measurements becomes easy work.I was also in a dilemma,but was too tempted to try that i finally gave it a shot.I had seen my MIL making these and was not sure whether it would turn out soft and good.I also saw a few friends blogs and found a recipe which goes like this..

COCONUT LADOO

October 9, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

And i thought making coconut ladoos were difficult.Once i made them i realised that this was not the only time I’ll be making them.This i made for hubby’s birthday last month and though he dosen’t have a sweet tooth,he likes coconut Barfi. So for a change i made ladoos with coconut and the outcome was overwhelming.The ladoos were soft,moist and of melt in the mouth texture and the good part was it hardly took 15 minutes to make.Wasn’t that great?So you can try this for coming festival Diwali as well and treat your loved ones.
