Khaliat Nahal/Honey Comb Buns


Khaliat Nahal means bee hives in Arabic and its stuffed with a variety of sweet stuffing and savory.These buns are baked close to each other in a round baking pan to form a honey comb pattern.For the sweet version the honey combs are topped with sugar glaze.
When I wanted to make a sweet version with the stuffing the first thing came in my mind was with tutty frutty as I had a big packet of tutty frutty in the refrigerator I wanted to finish of as early as possible.Along with tutty frutty added some chopped nuts and dessicated coconut.The stuffing can be your choice,chocolate,cream cheese ,dry fruits also used for this one.The buns were so delicious and perfect.Off to the recipe..................

    Method 
  • Take all purpose flour,instant yeast,salt and sugar in a bowl.To this add the lukewarm milk and mix it to a slightly sticky dough. Now add the butter to the dough and incorporate well and knead to a soft dough.Cover it with a damp cloth and keep it in a warm place for raise for an hour.Meanwhile mix the ingredients give for the stuffing and keep it aside.

  •  Make the sugar syrup  by adding water to the sugar and bring it to a boil.Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.Finally add the lemon juice and put off the flame.Let it cool down completely.
  • Punch down the dough and on a floured surface knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes till it becomes smooth. Roll the dough to a smooth log and cut it into 9-10 equal portions.

  • Now flatten each roll and keep a generous amount of stuffing and pull the sides and close it and roll it.Keep the rolled bun on a baking tray.Repeat it for the rest and keep it arranged closely in a circle manner to form a honey comb pattern.Cover it and let it rest for another 30-40 minutes.Before 10 minutes of the second raise pre heat the oven at 350 F and brush the rolls with milk or butter.Bake it for 25 minutes in the preheated oven (mine too exactly 22 minutes).
  • Once its done take it out and let it rest for couple of minutes.Now pour the prepared syrup on the top of the buns.The buns should be hot and the syrup should be cool.Let it sit for couple of minutes or till the buns/rolls absorb the syrup

  • Serve it with warm with tea or coffee.



  • Lemon juice prevents the crystallization of sugar syrup and saffron can also be added for extra flavor but I didn't use it.
  • The rolls taste better when it is served warm,just microwave it for 5 seconds and serve. .
  • The sweetness was just perfect if you want it a bit sweeter version then add you can increase the amount of sugar while kneading the dough.




Enjoy...........................................................

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
