Hi Friends,

HAPPY HOLI 

To 
ALL OF YOU

I know know Holi is gone but there is never too late to post a recipe related to some festival. I love this festival because of food and colors. I know i must have posted some traditional and authentic recipe for this occasion but this time its fusion of two recipes which came out so yumm. I wanted to add more fruits but due to Holi market was closed, and  it was very unsafe to go out and buy some fruits. So i used whichever fruit was available. Its a very nice combo of vanilla flavored custard and kesar/saffron. You can try other flavors of custard like strawberry etc. You can serve it hot or cold. I like it both ways. 

I hope you will try and enjoy like we did.

Ingredients:-
Milk- 2 glass
Sugar-2 tbsp
Custard powder- 1 tbsp
Saffron/kesar-10-12 thread
Almonds- 1 tbsp
Fruits- 2-3 tbsp peeled and chopped (any)

Method:-

Take all your ingredients

take out half bowl milk and set aside

add custard in this milk

mix it well

Now add sugar in remaining milk and start boiling

when its bit warm 

take out half bowl aside

add kesar/saffron strands

mix well and keep aside for few minutes

now add this solution to boiling milk

mix well and let it boil once

When it start boiling add custard and milk mix in it

now keep on stirring until reached the desired consistency 

within a minute it will be thick

Now remove it

set aside to cool down

prepare your fruits and dry fruits

Put them in cooled kesaria custard

Mix well and keep in fridge for 1-2 hours

After 2 hours

See its ready to serve

Hmmm So Yummmmm

ENJOYYYYYYYYYY

Notes:-

1. You can skip dry fruits if you don't like them.
2. You can make this dish thick or thin according to your preference. Cook more if you want it thick. For thinner version use less custard like one tbsp. 
3. You can make this dish without kesar/saffron also. But it will give a unique taste and flavor to this dish.
4. Add fruits only after its cool down otherwise they will become brown and lost its taste.
5. Choose your favorite fruits and dry fruits like strawberry, kiwi, orange etc as per your own choice.
6. Adjust sugar according to your taste.

Hope you will like it

Love

Hi Friends,

Who can say NO to Pakoda/Fritters? I haven't seen anyone who don't like them, variety may varies. Some like potato fritter, some onion, spinach, cauliflower etc. But there are times i find leftover pakodas laying in the bowl and thinking to use it up. I remember few years back when first time i made pakoda side dish. It tastes so different. I loved it so much. Now i never worry if some leftover pakoda are there. This dish can be made of any kind of pakoda/fritter like potato, spinach, bread pakora etc. Its so quick and easy also. My kids loved it so much. Hope you will like it too.

Ingredients:-
Pakoda/fritter (any) - 2 cup
Onion- 1 medium 
Tomato-1 medium
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Garlic- 6-7 pods
Cumin seeds-1 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/4 spoon
Water- 3 cups or as needed
Salt- as per you taste

Method:-

Take all your ingredients
Puree onion+tomato+ginger+garlic together

Heat 2-3 tsp oil in a pan or kadai

add cumin seeds and let them crackle

throw in pureed onion+tomato+ginger+garlic

cook for few seconds 

add salt and turmeric powder

let the oil separate

see oil oozes out 

add water

let it come to a boil

now add your pakoda

let it simmer for few seconds

its done within a 1 or 2 minutes

 Its ready to serve

YUMMYYYYY

You can serve it Roti/Naan/Rice 
or anything you like 

Notes:-

1. You can take any pakora/fritter for this recipe. Basically the idea was to use leftover pakoras.
2. You can puree onion tomato garlic ginger separately also. But as pakoras has its own flavors so its not required to do this to get the flavors.
3. You can some chat masala or amchoor powder to the gravy to make it more flavorful but i liked the pakora taste so skipped any other masala.

Hope you will like it

Love
