Parsnip Halwa

Dry Fruit Laddu, also known as dry fruits ladoo, is a nutritious and delicious sweet, energy balls made primarily from dates and various nuts, and occasionally seeds. It's a popular choice for during winter and is celebrated for its health benefits, as it typically contains no added sugars.Like I said, there are no added sugars in these energy balls. I used dates, figs, raisins and sweetened coconut for sweetening laddus.Adjust the proportions of nuts and dried fruits according to personal preference; there are no strict measurements. Ensure that dates are soft as they act as a natural binder for the laddu. For added flavour, consider incorporating spices like cinnamon or nutmeg and seeds like pumpkin and melon seeds..Dry fruit laddu is not only a delightful treat but also serves as an energy booster due to its rich content of healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients from the nuts and dried fruits.Dry fruits laddu stays good for a few days at room temperature and for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.These dry fruits laddu is for anyone who is looking for an easy-to-make, rich, and delightful snack which is soul-satisfying and nourishes your body.

Suji ka Halwa is a Pakistani and Indian dessert made with semolina. This is a simple, classic recipe for a categorically easy dessert.Though it may seem easier to cook but the first try is almost a disaster! Been there! Sometimes the simplest recipes can result in an unholy mess. Roti and suji ka halwa is an example. In suji ka halwa the idea is to transform coarse, ivory-coloured flour into the miraculous, tender mass of beads that is Suji Ka Halwa.There are different ways of making this classic dessert and each one is delicious.Suji Halwa can be served at any occasion and whatever reason. From weekend breakfast to dessert, to beating a cold, The texture and taste is unique. It really is surprising that using the same ingredients can result in different flavours and texture.Suji Halwa with khoya is a different kind of halwa. This by far the best, in my humble opinion. It just melts in the mouth.The procedure is same as the basic halwa. Actually, most halwas call for roasting the semolina and then incorporating other ingredients. I always like to soak the semolina in milk—water is the main ingredient.The next step is to roast the nuts and raisins. Remove. Cook the soaked semolina, stirring, stirring and stirring. Here I added the ghee in parts and not all at the same time. It makes stirring easier.Next goes in the sugar. Cook and add nuts cardamom powder and that’s it. Garnish and serve.

A common dessert in the Middle east. Saffron and cardamom are a great addition just for extra flavour but they’re optional.This is one of the “bowl” desserts, because it’s usually poured into small bowls while still warm before we put it in the fridge. Whenever you feel like dessert, you get yourself a bowl from the fridge and enjoy it!I used plant based milk because that’s what I usually buy but the original recipe uses cow milk. #lebanese #dessert #vegan #simple

One thing that makhane (lotus seeds) is super popular is for the makhane ki kheer. Made during festivals and specially during navratri since makhane is considered phalahar it's has his place planted firmly in my favorite kheers. One thing that I learnt from my grandmom with this kheer was to add chironji to it. The chironji adds a brilliant crunch to the kheer and takes the flavour punch to a different level all together.See more on my blog post here: http://www.sinamontales.com/chironji-makhane-ki-kheer-recipe

Easiest fruit salad. I got inspired by Tres Leches. I have used the milk recipe of 3 milk. The taste is amazing and it would also taste nice with Rasmalai as well. You don’t need to spend hours boiling the milk.

I’m happy to pay for good ingredients but hate wasting food, so I make a lot of soups from leftovers. This soup uses “uncooked leftovers”, i.e. veg that weren’t needed for Christmas dinner. It’s a creamy, smooth soup, the consistency of which can be adjusted to personal preference by varying the amount of stock used or, indeed, the quantity of veg. The veg could, of course, be specially bought in - or for that matter home-grown.#WastenotWantnot

I made this as I went along so have not tried adding mango pulp but I suppose it should be ok. If using mango pulp i would suggest to use 1/2 to 3/4 cup.

This is a very simple recipe, I flavour it with saffron, cardamom powder and sliced almonds, but some people add sultanas, pistachios, cashews and charoli. The consistency of this depends on your preference, you can either increase or decrease the quantity of milk and also the cooking time. I used 3/4 cup of condensed milk, but if you prefer it sweeter then by all means increase the quantity.
