Garam Kulhad wala doodh aur thandi malaidar kulfi

Its almost summers here and i guess this is the best time indulge in sweet desserts like kulfi, ice candies, lassi and other summer delights ,these days Kulfi Falooda stall can be seen everywhere in delhi,this season i tried Kulfi Falooda at Chandni Chowk and Sarojini Nagar Market ,

 

and tried the same without Falooda at home,

Recipe name Kulfi

Recipe category dessert

Preparation time one hr

Freezing time 3 to 4 hrs

Ingredient needed

1.5ltr full cream milk

sugar as per taste

coconut powder one tbsp

coarsely grounded almond,pistachio and cashewnut 

saffron strands pinch

(this will take time )

this thick milk can be used in two ways

or can be poured in kulfi mould and freezed for few hrs .

Kulfi can served alone or topped with falooda.

Sweet start with Bitter truth

**

 

 I guess Gazar Ka Halwa ,

is the perfect post to start the new year ,I know I am bit late with my first post of the yr 2010,reason being my trip to Agra to celebrate Ganesh Chauth also known as Sankat Chauth at my inlaws place ,I am back with a lesson which I learnt and ya I gonna share with you all too ,we went for trip to FatehpurSikri,I had kept my purse beside me on the steps of Salim Chisthi Dargah, Advay was busy running around so my whole attention was towards him,I was so engrossed watching  him that I didn’t realize when my purse was picked from the steps, no guys I didn’t get it back,but ya as Shakespear said Sweet are the uses of adversity I learnt a lotz from this incident.

Never to carry purse or shoulder bag at tourist place always sling back or back pack,not to carry goodies like fav specs,perfume and other unnecessary stuff,not to carry key of wardrobe outside ,Car is always safe to leave things behind.Its not the first time that this happened with me I Lost my cell phone first time in Bangalore while shopping,second time in London I forgot my handbag in tube didn’t get it back and the third time the recent one.

 Yesterday Neha prepared Gazar Ka Halwa, the way I like I don’t think so anything can be better than this and ya its sweet enough to forget something bitter which happened with me.She prepared it the same way as the basic recipe goes,wash peel and grate carrots keep aside.In a non stick wok add two tbsp of ghee and one or two cardamom pod,lower the flame and fry grated carrots till mushy,add milk and keep stirring till the milk is not seen,add amul mithaimate ,no need to add sugar ,keep stirring till mithai mate is mixed with the carrots,ghee has to be added whenever mixture starts sticking to the vessel.Once done add finely chopped dryfruits,mix well and serve warm.

 I guess thats all for todays post,many thanks for sending entries for the Jingle Event,event is on till 10th of Jan so if you guys have anything which suits the theme do send me,,,take care cee you all soon,..;-) Have a happy and safe week ahead.

Good old days are back again,...

Good old days are back again, ya guys my younger sis is back with bag and baggage from London, so now I wont be sighing  and feeling bad that I don’t have company ,I know  I can count on her for the monthly trip to the parlour, or can catch Friday night movie, go for coffee break and do so many other things,I guess sisters are the best gift god has given us isn’t it,…I prepared kheer for her the day she arrived,here goes the recipe

Ingredient needed- rice half cup, milk two cup, mithai mate three tbsp, saffron strands a pinch, cardamom two, ghee one tbsp,two tbsp coconut powder blanched almonds to garnish

Procedure- Heat ghee in non stick wok, add green cardamom, and the soaked rice fry for a minute or two, add milk and keep stirring on low flame once the milk boils add amul mithai mate, followed by saffron strands and coconut powder, let it simmer for 15 to 20 mins till the kheer thickens. Consistency can vary depending on ur need I usually like thick consistency.Once done remove from flame and serve garnished with blanched almonds.

cee u soon frens,..:-) tc
