Bana Banaya Khana

Golden tea was the me and my father's escape place. I am not a morning person but my dad is. He always use to wake me up & convince me for a walk or a exercise session. After completing the session with baba, he always made me happy with this "haldi wali chai" and used to sing a special song for me ❤️. That was "  Zindagi ek safar hai suhana ". That means life is beautiful journey just enjoy it. Listen to the song beautifully sung by the legend Kishor kumar. Now my father is near his 60s and whenever I visit my house he still makes a nice warm cup of Golden tea but now he just doesn't wake me up. Instead he waits for me to wake up and sings this song while I enjoy my tea.                     Okay Foodies... That was so overwhelming for me! Whenever I talk about my father I forget where to stop!!! So about the Tea! Yes as name it's a turmeric Tea but with the herbs and spices. The turmeric in this tea is used fresh we...

I was so curious that I asked every single person I met on that trip about the recipe. But very few people know about the recipe. We went to my mother's paternal Village there one old lady told me about this recipe. The generous lady even offered to make it for us but our stay was too short to accept her kind offer. Next day I left that place heavy hearted as I really wanted to see the process and have that lip smacking Halwa. As I reach home from trip I started preparing for Halwa.                        Preparation is little patience checking. First soak wheat overnight. Then let it sprout in a pot. 1 cup of wheat is enough for 4 people. Roast sproute...
