Fig Burfi (Anjeer Burfi)

Fig Burfi (Anjeer Burfi)

It is festival season with Diwali just around the corner. I miss the festivities here that we had in India. Over the years we have started celebrating few festivals in a small scale.

Banana-Sooji Sweetdish (Kele Sheera/Sapaath)

Banana-Sooji Sweetdish (Kele Sheera/Sapaath)

Sapaath is the traditional prasad(offering for god) prepared for Satyanarayan pooja. Sooji is cooked in ghee and milk, then bananas are added to make this very aromatic, tasty sweetdish. While growing up, this was one of the reasons we kids attended the pooja. We moved into our new house last year. I wanted to have …

Paneer – Sweet Potato Gulab Jamun

Wish you all a very happy Diwali. I finally got to making some dishes for Diwali. My 6 month old was down with cold for last few days and I was really trying hard to keep up with just day-to-day cooking. Since Ishaan is 4 years old, I thought he would have fun during this festival. I …

Tilgul (Kante Halvo)

Makar Sankranti is just around the corner. That reminds me to post this very very special recipe here. I have been thinking about it for a long time.

Banana Modak (Kele Modak / Kele Mulik)

Puffed Rice Laddoo (Phulayil Phova Laddu / Chirmure Laddu)

Puffed Rice Laddoo (Phulayil Phova Laddu / Chirmure Laddu)

Phulayil – puffed, phovu – poha(flattened rice) is very similar to puffed rice (churmuri/chirmuro) readily available in markets here. If this is not available, it can be easily replaced by chirmure.
