Amla Rasam Amla Rasam
#Post16 - Amla (Gooseberry) has amazing health benefits. It has the highest content of vitamin C, fiber, iron and zinc. They are equally good for our hair / scalp, heart, controls blood sugar and is also good for the tummy. Hence it is recommended in our daily diet. So let me share a simple rasam (soup) that I made out of some amla. It can be enjoyed as a piping hot soup during winter, as an appetizer or as a side dish with plain steamed rice. Rasam with hot steamed rice and accompanied with some papad / chips is the best comfort food that anybody will vouch for. And if it is made with the super nutritious and healthy amla, then there is nothing like it. I am a total fan of rasam of any type. It is light, tangy and a little spicy, coming from the peppercorns. So do give it a try and relish it piping hot as a soup during winter. #goldenapron

This is a spicy & sour curry. You can eat it with rice or drink it like a soup. If you like the taste of curry leaves, add it at the beginning before the tomatoes. You can filter the "Rasam" & drink or you can drink it as it is. Add a lot of "Rasam" to the rice, eat the rice & then drink the "Rasam".That's a style I know.

Baked rasgulla Baked rasgulla
Ok if you ask a Bengali which is the most sought after sweet in Bengal he will hands down mention it's ‘rasgulla’. Now! what I’ve learned from my chef deans is that for making rasgullas or rosogolla as the Bengali ‘s call it the chena or paneer that you are using has to be fresh if you want the best results. That’s a part of the story but 😀 the entire story of baked rasgullas goes around pouring a thick condensed milk over it and baking it! I know you are salivating but Balaram mallick a sweet entrepreneur and brand first came up with third brilliant idea and since then various sweet owners are coming up with their version of it.Now my version is not to confuse between rosogolla’r payesh or kheer with baked rasgullas. The pista, saffron wala cream is therefore not the one I look up to if I am having baked rasgullas. So I will share with you a very simple way of making them which will taste what you’ll be the best judge of it!
