Habshi Halwa

              
                   Habshi halwa is the most time consuming sweet dish I have ever made till now. I have heard about this dish on the trip of Royal Rajasthan. 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 sprouted wheat in ghee untill golden brown. Allow it to cool and grind it in to thick texture like cracked wheat. Before this boil 1 ltr milk until it reduces to half. Keep it aside and roast again ground wheat for couple of minutes. Now gradually add reduced milk. Let it cook completely on very low flame steering occasionally. It will release ghee after cooked completely. Now add sugar as per taste again let it thicken. Add cardamom powder if you wish. I don't add any dry fruits. I like to keep it the rustic and minimal. 
                   So that's it foodies this is how Habshi halwa is made. I didn't find this on any restaurant's menu on my trip but I wish you find this and relish the taste of simplicity!!! Otherwise you will have to make this by yourself. And I insist everyone must try this heavenly dish from Royal state of Bharat! Or else find some Indian friends near you and you are done... you just need to drop a wish. Indian people love to cook & feed their loved ones. Try this trick I am sure you will be thankful to me. 🤣

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 cocon...

Mirch ke Tipore

                      Mirchi ke Tipore, basically less spicy green pepper's side dish. This is one of the most favorite side dish even my 6 year old loves a lot. So you can guess the hotness of the peppers.                         This dish I came across when I was scrolling through some random videos. Name itself is so catchy so I started my search. After watching tons of recipe video and talking to my mom I figured out the authentic recipe and it was a real hit. It can be a delicious option to any boring day when you don't feel like cooking lengthy 4 course meal. Few easily available spices like funnel seeds, cumin seeds, dry mango powder, salt, red chilli (paprika) powder, lemon juice, and oil. Just roast all seeds and coarsely grind it. Heat oil add all powder with turmeric, red pepper, asafetida, dry mango powder and add freshly cut chillis. Mix it and cook it just for...
