BESAN KA LADDO


laddoo with wheat flour....




This was the most favourite dish of my children, when they used to go to the hostel, they always wanted to take it with them. so I learnt making it
INGREDIENTS;
Besan...3 cups
Desi ghee..3/4 cup
Sugar..2 cups(grind it finely), this is the general choice, I put 1 and 1/2 cup, as i like a little less.
Cardamom powder.1 tbsp.
2 tbsp..cashewnuts
2 tbsp almonds
for garnishing.....
4 big cardamom-grind them
2 tbsp. coconut powder.
Take a saucepan, and put besan and Ghee and roast on medium fire, stirring all the time.
When it is done it leaves the ghee., then add chopped almond and cashew nuts.
While you are roasting..its sort of solid mass, but when its roasted..it starts becoming a little liquid and give an aroma.
Now add cardamom powder and take it off the heat.
let it cool for a 3-4 minutes.
now add sugar and make balls. While making the balls take some stuff and rub it between two hands, then round them.
spread cardamom and coconut powder in a plate.
Put the ball on this and keep it aside.
Laddoo are eaten more in the winter, as it gives heat to the body and very nourishing also.
The same laddoo can be made with wheat flour also. For a better taste..take 2cups of flour and 1 cup semolina.
Quantity of ghee can be increased or reduced as u like.
Initially put a little ghee , then add slowly till the flour is not dry anymore.
You can keep it for one month.

If only you had posted this sooner!!! Never heard of wheat flour laddoos before......would they be healthier than besan?

:), In the north they are quite popu;ar, some people cant digest besan easily, and even taste is different, try once, I like them more, if making with wheat flour u may take this proportion..2 cups flour and 1 cup semolina, I forgot in the recipe, they are even better:)

NAMKEEN DALIA

This is a very healthy breakfast for me and I like it also, almost no oil is used and it has lots of vegetables. and not much cooking even. Ingredients:----- 1cup broken wheat 250 gm cabbage..julienned 1small capsicum..julienned 1 carrot grated 1 tsp. oil 1tsp. mustard seeds. 1/2 tsp. turmeric 1/2 tsp salt or as you like it 1/2 lemon 2 tbsp. roasted peanuts. Green chilli (optional) coriander leaves..finely chopped for garnishing. Dry roast the broken wheat, till it is golden. In a pan put oil, and when it is hot add mustard seeds. When they start spluttering add all the vegetables. saute them for 5-8 minutes, till they get shiny or loose water. Keep them aside. Now cook the broken wheat with 2 cup water, turmeric and salt, slow the fire and cook till all the water is absorbed. Mix the vegetables in this. Now while serving spread some peanuts and then sprinkle lemon. TIPS:.....even you can roast the wheat in microwave also, you will have to stir it once or twice. Some people add tomatoe

Last weekend we tried Savera hotel on RKSalai road.There they had buffet in their Piano restaurant. I just loved the food here, their most of the preparations are very good. We started with mango drink,thye had one strawberry and one punch too. we tried the first one, but it was too sweet. For the starters they had..paapdi chaat,samosa, kachori, gobhi manchuria, and pakoras, golguppas. In the  main course there was..two varieites of aloo.both yummy,and paneer bhujai, beans,3types of south Indian curries, curd rice, three varieties of pulao..all very tasty, and noodles with 6-7 varieties of salad including choley also..rice varieties were very good and so were the naans. for the desserts there were 5-6 baked varieties and few were really good, three types of icecreams with toppings, then, moong daal pyasam, almond gulabjamun and carrot mysore pak..these two were awesome, I really hogged them and then some fruits. All in all a very good buffet and price is also reasonable...730/
