Khapli Gavhachi Kheer

               


                 Khapli gahu chi kheer is made specially for my son who was allergic to dairy! My family have a massive sweet tooth. But due to dairy my son couldn't enjoy most of the indian sweets. So my Aunt came up one day with this dish and feed him. He was so gourmand after eating first spoon of it. And it became his on go favourite sweet dish which he can enjoy. I too had it first time and fell in love with it's simplicity.

              Khapli gahu is long graind special type of wheat also know as Emmar wheat. Wich is very low in gluten, high in fibre, as well significant source of proteins, minerals, lipids, iron, dietary fibre thiamine, and several vitamins. These are vital for a healthy body. Later I came to know khapli wheat is the most nutritious type of wheat and believe to be original form of wheat. Adding khapli gahu in a daily diet can help you to loose weight. It improves your digestion. Its best for diabetic patients to control sugar levels as it ilhas low glycemic index. It gives you so much energy in a day and can be given to pregnant women & babies in a porridge form with or without milk.

                 Process is time consuming but very very easy to make that too minimum ingredients. First of all Soak khapli wheat for an hour or half hour. Take it out of water and dry for 15 minutes under the fan on a clean muslin cloth. After that rub wheat gently and side the peals. Add whaet in a grinder jar. Pulse for couple of time. We don't want to make powder oit of it. So make sure you keep checking on it. We need the broken wheat texture. Now add ghee in pressure cooker and roast ground khapli wheat & roast till it changes it colour and become aromatic. Now add boiling water in to roasted wheat. Add some desiccated or sliced coconut some dry fruits of your choice and close the lid. Let it cook on a high flame for 6-7 minutes. After that low tye flame and keep it for good 13-15 minutes. Once the it cools down open it and add jaggery as per your taste. And let it cook again until jaggery melts and kheer becomes thik again. Don't forget to steer in between. Once kheer is ready take couple of spoons in a bowl add melted cow ghee and enjoy. Some like to add warm milk just to adjust desired consistency. Milk is completely optional. But don't skip ghee.

                   Khapli ghau chi kheer falls under Satvic and vegan food group. This is the perfect combination of healthy and blissful food experience.

                   Again this is definitely a non restaurant dish. So please try to make this at home and build your health with relishing food in your plate. Khapli wheat is not available in any Indian grocery store out of India but you can easily find it online like Amazon.com or try some Indian sites who deliver out of India. And in India check your nearby grocery store or else online sites are there to help us 😊

Varan Fal

papad               This lockdown blessed me a long stay at my hometown. Beautiful childhood memories, simple homemade food and long chat with neighbours who are family now! My neighbour Aunt cooks amazing food. When I was child I used to play knowingly in front of her house every evening hoping she would call me inside and feed me that aromatic, mouthwatering dish whatever she has made for dinner. And this trick worked always.. 😉                Varan fal is one of the comfort dish I always adore. This is something special because every house has it's own version of Varan fal. Today my Aunt made varan fal for me, so how can I forgot this dish to share with you!              Basic preparations are same in each recipe, just spices or the way of making is varies. My Aunt makes it with mix lentils like toor dal (pigeon pea), chana dal ( Split chickpea), moong dal ( yellow split mung) Urad dal ( Split black gram) are pressure cooked together with turmeric and salt calld var

Crispy Millet bhakri with brinjal curry.

             Summer is round the corner and this menu poped up in my mind. This is one of the special menu for me. Dharwadi bhakri, kala masla vangi bhaji, kairichi chatni. My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry coconut, dried red chilli, garlic, onion, poopy seeds, sesame seeds are roasted on a flame, then kanda lasun masala with roasted spices
