Getting Started...

I'll try to post mostly indian authentic recipes for those who seek comfort and wants to enjoy cooking. Great chefs are not born, but created through a journey of salty, spicy, tangy, sweet experiments and yes, I fall in the same category. Most of the recipes i post will be simple and easy to prepare especially for working woman. How do i know that? Yes.. i know because i make them frequently in my own kitchen. Also, there are many recipes i learn from different sites of Mallika Badrinath, Sanjeev kapoor and tarala dalal. I've learnt these throughout the time and have experimented in my own kitchen with my own additions too. And, I would suggest you not to worry or get scared to try out all my posts as i have already experimented the same on my husband and parents ;-) and yes.. they are much more healthier .... Lets remember that the key ingredient of all the dishes are fun and joy... lets enjoy cooking.. ...

Coconut Burfi - Our Diwali Special

'Coconut Burfi' is an easy to make sweet and a quick recipe too. I call it as my favourite 'Thengaa Burfi'

Ingredients:

Freshly grated coconut - 3 cups
Sugar - 1.5 cups
Elachi (Powdered) - 1 tsp
Pista, Almond (Grated) - 2 tsp
Ghee - 1 tsp

Preparation:

  • Grease a plate with a little ghee. Keep aside.
  • In a thick bottomed pan, prepare sugar syrup by stirring sugar and water. Keep the heat bit medium and stir until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixtures become thickened.
  • Add the grated coconut to the thickened sugar syrup.
  • Keep stirring once in a while. After about 10 minutes, when the mixture starts thickening, reduce the flame. Keep stirring and scrapping the sides of the pan.
  • When it starts leaving the sides of the pan, add the cardamom powder and mix well.
  • When the mixture is ready, pour it onto the greased plate. Spread it immediately
  • Sprinkle the grated pistachio and almond on the top and press a little. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Cut into squares or diamond shape as you like. Let cool completely.
