SHAHI TUKDA

October 6, 2016 by Nithya 2 Comments

Shahi means Royal and Tukda is piece in Hindi.So literally translated it means a royal piece.Shahi Tukta is similar to Double Ka Meetha and is a super delicious and easy recipe.This mouth watering deep fried bread in ghee topped with rabri s a delight to anyone who lays hands on it.I found a difficult though in taking pistures as it was late evening and the light was dim.Otherwise this was an easy and satisfactory dessert to make.The rabri making is the only job here,rest of the work takes only a few minutes.The rabri should be of the custard type consistency…

When I had loads of ripe mangoes at home and have enjoyed to my heart’s content eating it as such,I searched for recipes with mangoes by which I can have it preserved for a long time.I made mango yoghurt popsicle,mango mastani and mango ice cream and was thinking storing the mangoes by making jam .What better way of using up of mangoes,than making yummy jam with them.Mango is one tropical fruit loved by one and all and kids love jam and that too with fresh mangoes.On busy mornings,when you are searching for something to spread on your toast,mango jam comes…

MANGO ICECREAM

August 10, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

There could be no one who doesn’t like ice creams,right?Well I am no exception to it and love ice creams of all sorts.Whenever possible I try to make ice cream at home and this time when there were lots of mangoes at home last week,tried this mango recipe which was soft,creamy and just melted in the mouth.This lip smacking ice cream is no hard work,but it takes time to make it,that’s all.I have used condensed milk and fresh cream which resulted in creamy texture of the ice cream. Dhivya loved it to the core and had two helpings in one…

MASALA MILK

August 6, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Masala Milk is a delicious concoction of milk and spices with lots of nuts and sugar.I tried this milk at the temple city of Kumbakonam in a restaurant.Though I have made this several times at home,I am blogging about this now only.This is one traditional milk drink made in all households which is full of nutrients and calcium.My daughter who is fussy in drinking milk at times loved this and I was truly satisfied.While growing up mom used to give pepper and turmeric milk whenever I caught cold and flu.This has an added advantage of nuts and spices which when…

Lassi, Summer Coolers

SWEET LASSI

July 8, 2016 by Nithya 1 Comment

I am fond of Lassi very much and often prepare it at home rather than buying from the store. As all at home like lassi it is the a normal phenomenon to end our meal and finish it off with this drink.But I have never attempted to make sweet lassi. Ravi and Dhivya prefer the salt version and chaas varieties.On my recent visit to Delhi I had tadka chaas.It was a rich chaas full of tempered spices.I also tasted Sweet Lassi from Punjab Sweet Stall.It was totally out of the world, was light and not heavy and served chilled.A refreshing…

DAL BADAM KHEER

July 3, 2016 by Nithya 1 Comment

We all have heard of Badam Kheer,but this is a slight variation with channa dal and almonds. This protein filled dessert was an innovative recipe tried by me long back,but was lying in the draft for long.Suddenly I remembered this as I was scrollimg down the pictures today for today’s post.The recipe is really easy to make and can be made in no time. I have used channa dal here but can be made with moong dal or a combo of moong and channa dal. This can be a great option for any occasion,or get togethers.I made it during festival…

Mango Mastani is a dessert drink originated in Pune .It is a thick milkshake with ice cream and nuts.I had it once in a juice bar here in Bangalore and was hooked by the taste.I decided there itself that I should make this and post this on my blog.The epic says that the drink got it’s name from the Peshwa Baji Rao’s wife who is said to be a brave and beautiful woman.The delicious concoction of mangoes,ice cream and dry fruits makes it delicious.You could find this at almost any eatery,but making it at home was a tasty affair.As it…

I don’t like falooda very much,I am an ice cream and smoothie person.But when I was asked to contribute for Savorit Limited for their website I was happy to do this and I also had fresh strawberries in hand from Delhi. Falooda is cold beverage originating from South Asia popular in the Indian subcontinent.Traditionally it is made with mixing rose syrup,vermicelli, sabza seeds with milk and ice cream for more taste.The original recipe calls for making falooda with arrowroot whereas in the Indian version vermicelli is used.The different taste and flavours of falooda is the result of the Muslim invasion…
