Mysore Pak /Mysore Pa /Ghee Mysore Pak

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#93 themed under one ingredient in different ways is mysore pak. Mysore pak is a mouth melting sweet,loaded with ghee and most of us favorite.Though its a favorite sweet,I tried it for the first time on my own.I was bit skeptical to try this sweet as it needs arm power and perfect consistency.But after seeing the  you tube  video,I was bit confident to try with a smaller quantity.The end result is literally mouth melting mysore pak. The proportion is very simple,for one part of flour,three parts of ghee and three parts of sugar. In the original recipe 2.5 parts of oil and .5 part of ghee is used.But I used 1 part of oil and 2 parts of ghee to make it.It can be completely made with ghee for extra rich taste. Also I couldn't capture each and every step of the preparation as there were no helping hands when I made,will update it soon.                                                                                     

Kaara Boondi /Spicy Boondi

Kaara boondi is a spicy and crunchy, snack spiced with black pepper powder is quiet popular in South India. The preparation of kaara boondi is simple if the batter consistency is perfect.The batter consistency should not be too thick or too thin,it should be in a dropping consistency. Kaara boondi can be spiced up with black pepper powder and red chilly powder.But we personally like the flavor of the black pepper powder,hence used it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Kaara Boondi /Spicy Boondi                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 15 minutes     Cooking time 30-35 minutes    Makes 2.5 cups(approximately)       Ingredients Ingredie

Poondu Kaarasev / Garlic Flavored Spicy Sev

Starting the final week of Blogging Marathon #93 with one ingredient in different ways,as theme.For the theme we need to choose a fruit,veggie or a flour as the ingredient. Since Diwali is around the corner,I chose gram flour aka besan as my main ingredient to make some savories and sweet. Kaarasev is a crispy and addictive snack made in number of ways with different proportions.I have already shared a version  here .But this version is flavored with garlic and it is slightly on the spicier side.This version is popular in a sweet stall in my home town and I noted down the recipe from our family cook.                                                                                                                                                                                            Poondu Kaarasev/Garlic Flavored Spicy Sev                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 15 minute

Cashew Coconut Burfi

For the final day of Diwali sweet and savories is a simple and exotic cashew coconut burfi.Coconut burfi is a traditional sweet and can be made in so many ways. Today's version is a very simple one and doesn't need of any sugar syrup consistency.For an added and rich taste,here I have used some cashew powder.As we like slightly soft burfi and I made it such a way.If you want a crispy version then keep the mixture on the flame for another minute or two.                                                                                                                                                                                        Cashew Coconut Burfi                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 20 minutes     Cooking time 15-20 minutes    Serves 10-12 pieces(depending on the size)          Ingredients     Ingredient Quantity Coconut(grat

Mundiri Murukku /Cashew Murukku

Coming to day2 of blogging marathon #93,themed under Diwali sweet and savories is a crunchy murukku. This is a super crunchy murukku with cashew and roasted gram powder.I tried this murukku only with cashew powder and rice flour couple of times.It came out good and not as crunchy as expected.Then I used some roasted gram dhal powder along with cashews and the result was amazing and the murukku came out so cruchy and stayed crunchy for longer time.                                                                                                                                                                                Mundiri Murukku /Cashew Murukku                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 15 minutes     Cooking time 30 minutes    Makes 300 gms(approximately)          Ingredients        Ingredient Quantity Rice flour/arisimaavu 1 cup Whole
