Chana Dal Burfi



Chana Dal Burfi

Chana Dal Burfi is quick and yummy sweet with the  lentils and coconut. Burfi is Indian fudge and there is a range of flavors to try. It is easy to put together and I make them on special occasions like Diwali. I have tried coconut, mango and chocolate burfi. This is the first time I tried with dal.This is an easy version with condensed milk. I found this recipe in you tube and gave it a try.

Ingredients
Chana Dal- 1 cup
Grated coconut- 1/2 cup
Condensed milk- 1tin
Milk- 1 1/2 cup
Ghee- 2 tbs
Cardamon powder- 1/2 tsp
Almonds/cashew nuts or pistachios- 2 tbs


Soak chana dal for 4-5 hours. Cook dal with milk till it is soft. Transfer to a blender and make it into a paste.
Heat ghee in a pan and roast the almonds and cashew nuts till golden brown. Remove from ghee and keep aside.
 In the same pan pour the dal paste and roast till there is a nice aroma or till it changes color.Add grated coconut and condensed milk and stir for 8-10 minutes. At this stage of cooking it will be bubbly hot molten liquid style, so be careful or it might cause severe burns. I also noticed that dal tends to be more sticky, so it needs continuous stir to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook the mixture till it becomes thick and leaves the edges of the pan.
 Add the cardamom powder, roasted nuts and mix well. Stir for two to minutes and remove from the stove.
Grease a plate with ghee and transfer the contents into the plate. Flatten and smooth  it with the back of a spoon and let it set for an hour. Cut into desired shape and serve.

But in this tomato yogurt pachadi you get the sweet and tart flavor of tomatoes. Yes! an intense tomato flavor!

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming. So people simply prefer to buy it from the shop. But making your own is a rewarding experience. Now many of the traditional sweets are forgotten or get overlooked for fancier ones in bakeries. But that is not the case w...
