Shrikhand / Amrakhand [Mango Yogurt or Homemade Mango Yoplait]

Shrikhand is an Indian sweet dish made of strained Indian curd [Dahi [Hindi],Yogurt]. It is a popular dessert in Gujarat and Maharashtra. You can add mango to the curd to make Amrakhand, fruit medley to make Fruitkhand and so on.....



Ingredients:


Dahi [Indian curd] or Yogurt - 2 cups
Mango pulp - 1/2 cup
Cardamon powder - 2 pods
Kesar [saffron] - dissolve few strings in milk
Sugar - 3-4 Tbsp or according to your taste
Nuts for garnishing [Almonds and pistachios]

Method:

Hang the curd overnight in the refrigerator in a cheese cloth [place a container underneath to collect water][ * make sure the yogurt/curd is not too sour, else you will need to add more sugar]

Next day remove the solid curd from the cheese cloth and mix mango pulp, sugar, kesar and cardamon powder. Mix it well with hands or spoon

Spoon the above mix in individual serving bowls or a big serving dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before you eat

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Homemade Diwali Diyas From Dough

HA P PY DI W AL I ! !! ! This year for Diwali I made diyas [Diwali lights] at home!! They came out pretty nice ! I prepared it very simple but you can get creative by painting, glue small mirrors , beads and other stuff. Here is how I prepared: Ingredients: Whole wheat flour Water-just enough to prepare the dough Food color - yellow [optional] Method: Pre-heat oven at 200 degree Fahrenheit. Line the baking tray/dish with un-greased foil Combine flour, water and color in a bowl to prepare little stiff dough Pinch out small balls from the dough and shape it into diyas Bake it in the oven for 20 minutes [during the process I gradually increased the baking temperature to 300] Cool diyas at room temperature The diyas should feel little hard, if not just leave it in the sun Roll out some cotton wool to make wick, add some oil and light your Diya !!! Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
