Kulfi

 Kulfi is a traditional Indian frozen dessert that is denser and creamier than regular ice cream because, unlike ice cream, it is not churned. The rich texture comes from slowly boiling the milk until it reduces and thickens. Your recipe is a classic way to make a delicious Malai (cream) Kulfi.

Here is a summary of the ingredients and a step-by-step guide based on your method.

Malai Kulfi Recipe

Ingredients:

• Milk: 1 liter (full-fat milk is best for a rich texture
• Cashew nuts: 1 cup
• Sugar: 1 cup
• Cardamom powder: 1 tsp
• Coarsely powdered nuts: 2 tsp (for garnish)
• Small cups and ice cream sticks for filling
• 
  

Method:

1. Reduce the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The milk should become slightly thick
2. Prepare the Powdered Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cashew nuts and sugar. Pulse until you get a coarse powder.
3. Combine and Thicken: Slowly add the cashew-sugar powder to the boiling milk, mixing well to ensure there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens further.
4. Cool the Mixture: Remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool down completely.
5. Add Flavor and Nuts: Stir in the cardamom powder and the coarsely powdered nuts.
6. Pour into Molds and Freeze: Carefully pour the Kulfi mixture into small cups or Kulfi molds. Sprinkle little powdered nuts.Place an ice cream stick in the center of each cup.
7. Freeze: Place the cups in the freezer for at least 6-8 hours, or until they are completely frozen and firm.
8. Serve: To remove the Kulfi from the cup, warm the mold with your hands for a few seconds. The Kulfi should easily slide out.

Enjoy your homemade Kulfi!

Mirchi bhajjia

 Mirchi Bhajji

A popular Indian street food snack, perfect for a rainy day!

Ingredients:

• Long Green Chillies: 6
• Besan (Gram Flour): 3 cups
• Rice Flour: 1/4 cup
• Red Chilli Powder: 2 tsp
• Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp
• Salt: to taste
• Oil: for deep frying

Method:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the besan, rice flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Gradually add water while mixing continuously to form a smooth, thick batter with a consistency similar to dosa batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
2. Prepare the Chillies: Carefully slit the green chillies lengthwise. You can cut each chilli into two or three smaller pieces if you prefer.
3. Heat the Oil: Place a pan or kadai on medium-high heat and add enough oil for deep frying.
4. Fry the Bhajjis:
• Once the oil is hot, dip a prepared green chilli piece into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
• Gently drop the coated chilli into the hot oil.
• Repeat with the remaining chilli pieces, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Fry until the bhajjis are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
5. Serve: Remove the bhajjis from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serving Suggestion:

Enjoy these delicious and spicy Mirchi Bhajji with coconut chutney and a hot cup of tea, especially during the rainy season.
