Rava Laddoo |
|
|
Ingredients: • 1 cup rava (semolina) • 3/4 cup sugar • 1/2 cup water • 1/4 cup ghee (you can use less if you want, it is not critical to the recipe) • 3 tbsps cashew nuts • 3 tbsps golden raisins • 1 tsp powdered cardamom powder |
|
|
Method: • Melt the ghee in a saucepan or wok. • Fry cashew nuts till golden brown and remove with a slotted spoon. • Fry the raisins in the same ghee and remove with a slotted spoon. • Fry the rava/semolina gently till golden brown and fragrant. There should be very noticeable change in color and aroma when compared with the raw semolina. Set aside. • Mix the sugar and water in a pan. • Heat gently to a rolling boil and keep stirring. • Check the sugar syrup for a 1-string consistency. This means that when you lift the spoon from the syrup and feel the syrup coating the back of the spoon, it should be very sticky. Blow on it a bit before you touch it - it will be hot!. Gently pinch and spread apart your forefinger and thumb. The sugar syrup should trail in a single strand between the two fingers. This is known as "one-string" sugar syrup. • Slowly stir in the the semolina to avoid forming lumps. • Stir in the cashews, raisins and cardamom powder. • Remove from heat and let cool.
• When warm enough to handle,
squeeze a handful of the
mixture between your fingers
and palm to form small
balls. |

Sandesh |
|
|
|
|
|
Ingredients: • 2 cups of paneer or cottage cheese • 2 cups of sugar • 4 tablespoons lemon juice • 1 tsp rose essence • Pistas and almonds sliced finely to garnish |
|
|
Method: • Start by bringing the milk to a boil. Once this occurs, pour in the lemon juice and wait for the milk to start curdling. Remove from fire and pour the milk through a fine cloth, preferably made of muslin. This will help the water strain out and give you some excellent paneer. You will need 2 cups of this paneer to make the sandesh. • Take a pan and in it heat the paneer and sugar together until the sugar and paneer have mixed and the sugar has dissolved completely. To this, add the rose essence.
• Pour this into a plate and let it cool. Once cool, roll it into soft round balls and place aside. Garnish. Ensure that you use very light hands so that the sandesh can retain its softness and texture. |
