Sweet Boondi

Last week I had some guest  to come over. I was thinking of making sweet dish at home. Then on searching I found that sweet boondi can be prepared. I had some left over gulab jamun and then I thought of mixing sweet boondi and gulab jamun and it taste really good. I have tasted such combination in India.

To make sweet boondi you will need :-

1 cup besan ( chickpea flour)

Water as needed

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup water (for sugar syrup)

4-5 strands of kesar

1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

Oil for frying

Take a bowl and add besan to it and then add water as needed to make pouring consistency batter. The batter should be such that it should go down from spatula which has hole in it (jharo in India). Keep oil on wide pan and when the oil gets hot then take this spatula which has hole and pass this besan mixture from it. Do not overcrowd them. Be careful so that you do not burn. Then turn them after some time and when it gets cooked then keep it aside after taking out from oil with the help of spatula.

For making sugar syrup add sugar and add water till the sugar gets dissolved. Put it on flame and mix well. Allow it to boil. Then add cardamom powder and kesar to the sugar syrup.

Add all the boondi to sugar syrup and mix well. Soak boondi till 1-2 hours. After that it is ready to serve. It can stay good for 1 day at room temperature after that it stays good for 3-4 days in refrigerator.

Khichu (Papadi No Lot)- Microwave Recipe

I just love Khichu. Navratri is approaching and at that time in India at most of the navratri spot, khichu is available. I use to enjoy a lot during that time. I tried the easy version of Khichu in microwave.

To make Microwave Khichu you will need :-

1 cup of rice flour

2 cups of water

1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon oil

1 teaspoon green chilly chopped

1/4 teaspoon carrom seeds

1 microwave bowl

Take a microwave bowl and rice flour and all the dry ingredients and then mix well. Add water and oil and then mix well. Put in microwave for about 2 minutes. Take it out and mix well. Do this procedure at every 2 minutes till the rice flour gets cooked. (My microwave took 6 minutes). Allow it to cool down  little bit and then enjoy.

Note :- Be careful while handling the microwavable bowl it might be hot so do not burn yourself. 

Tip of the day- Spicy Puffed Rice (Mamara)

Hey guys it is raining today over here and it feels so amazing that I like to had something warm in my morning breakfast. I checked my Puffed Rice (Mamara) and thought of making little warm. 

I just took a microwavable bowl and then put mamara in microwave for 10 seconds (time may vary as per your microwave) and it became warm to enjoy in my breakfast.
