Hi Friends,
One more addition to paneer/cottage cheese dishes. I have kaaju wala paneer/cottage cheese in cashew gravy recipe in my blog. Now i have tried this gravy with almonds and peanuts on Diwali. Its a rich gravy based side dish. You can make it more dry or more thick gravy as per your choice. Its a awesome combo of nutty flavor of almonds & peanuts and sweetjuicy flavor of raisins. 

You can make this side for get together and parties also. Keep the ingredients ready like pureed onion tomato, roast dry fruits, powder them and a quick dry dish will be ready next day for party. 
My family liked it a lot. Hope you will also like it.

Notes:-

1. You can adjust the quantity of almonds and peanuts according to your choice. Increase whatever you like and decrease whatever you would like to taste less.
2. You can use milk to grind the almonds and peanuts. You can dry roast peanuts almonds if your want to avoid adding fried nuts.
3. If you dont like munching nuts in the side dish then just skip frying and adding them and make a paste and use it in gravy.

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
