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. 🤣

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
