Re: Traditional South Indian Diwali Fare? Guys, you're making me drool just by reading this thread. Back home, for Diwali sweets, we used to make Gujiya (called Karanji in south) with mawa filling. Those were so yummy! For savories, we also made Murukul. You're inspiring me to make something special this time. Happy Diwali in advance to you all, Pooja
Hi all, I made Badaam Burfi ths Diwali.All appreciated it a lot.So I thought better share the receipe with all of you. Ingredients: 2 cups almonds 3 cups milk Pinch saffron 3 granulated sugar 1 cup water 6 tbsp ghee Method: Firstly boil the water and pour it over almonds.Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes.Now grind almonds with milk and saffron. In a pan, combine sugar and water; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the almond paste and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of the ghee and cook. Add remaining ghee and continue to stir until mixture is very thick and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in almond essence and continue to stir until thickened. Pour onto greased baking sheet and spread evenly. Let cool slightly; tear into diamond shapes. When completely cool, cut along tore lines. Enjoy it with family and friends.
microwave milk burfi Ricotta cheese, in the same container measure twice milk powder(carnation milk powder) in the same container one sugar or threefourth as per your taste and butter one stick if the cheese container is 950grams.Now just put cheese,sugar,carnation milk powder and the butter stick in microwave container(container must be big).Then microwave for 7min remove and stir and again microwave for 5min,remove and stir and keep doing for 3,2,2 but remember every time remove out and stir before it turns out like a ball add elaichi safron and edibile camphor(pachai karpooram).Note if you don't remove out to stir every stage it will turn out brown or not uniform colour.It will come out light redish brown(like palgowa) then remove and spread in a plate and when cool cut in small squares.Enjoy happy deepavali with sweets and please feed back me the result.
Hi Tina, Since I am born & brought up in North India so I'll tell you a sweet recipe called Besan ke laddu. Besan coarsly ground : 4 cups Ghee : 2 cups Sugar : 2 cups powerded cardamom, chopped nuts : as per your taste heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan, add besan(gram floor), roast it on low flame untill a nice smell comes out of it. This takes at least 20to 25 min. Put in in a plate & mix powdered sugar, nuts & cardamom, mix well & make laddus when the mixture is still bearable hot. Put it in a airtight container. Let me know if you like it. I normally make it monthly once bcos my son loves only one sweet i.e besan ka laddu. Enjoy & Happy Diwali :thumbsup Lata
