Badam Burfi/Cake|Almond fudge

                                                     Badam cake or burfi is a very common sweet in the Tamil household or south indian household during diwali time.My grandmom used to call it as cake and she used to make it when we used to visit her during holidays.From that time i was fond of this sweet.

          This is an all time favourite sweet in my house.I make this burfi or Badam kheer often since my daughters do not eat any nuts especially "badam".It is quiet simple to make.You just have to get the right consistency to pour in to the plate to make in to burfi's.

Gulab Jamun Recipe

                                                    Gulab jamun is most peoples favourite sweet that is why it is so common in all the parties and  festivities.It is  easy to make that is another reason for it to part of any  menu.My kids love it and i often make it with the MTR gulab jamun mix which makes it even more simple.I feel it is very light and soft so we all love it.
Today i have tried it with khoya because it is festival time and not to use the ready made mix.It came out pretty well.

Kara Boondhi Recipe|diwali snacks

                                                             I just finished packing my dolls and putting them in their respective places and of course the godrej(steel) steps that had to dismantled. I am here with some diwali recipes. Kara Boondhi is a simple savoury (tea time snack) and easy to make.It is really
 thrilling to see the perfect little rounds coming out fried. Little care here and there, and I think you will get decent boondhis. I always refer to Meenkashi ammals cook book for traditional recipes and of course did the same for this recipe too.

Keerai Molagootal Recipe/Palakkad special

                                                            I have been making Keerai on Sundays when the kids are at home,otherwise they don't get  to eat greens other than palak(palak paneer or corn and palak) which i make for chapathis.Usually i make keerai masiyal or keerai kootu or morkeerai this time i thought i will try this keerai molagootal which is a palakkad recipe.My husband is fond of palakkad food since he grew up in Bombay and he had lot of Palakkad friends.This keerai Molagootal can be the main dish or gravy goes along with rice as well as chapathis if you don't mind the south Indian flavour.

Badam Kheer/Almond Kheer

Badam Kheer is a very easy and  rich payasam or kheer made with almond paste and milk.I make this often especially during navrathri. i make a lot to give people when they come home.
My mother also used to make it in bulk and store in the refrigerator during navrathri(i do the same).It is one of the tasty payasam that i like.I like it cold and hot, it tastes very good both ways.It is perfect drink to offer during festivals.
