Maida Milk Burfi | Milk Sweet Recipe

Today, I would be sharing another Easy Indian Sweet Recipe which can be made in less than 15mins without much hassle. As this Sweet is made with Milk powder as one of the main ingredients, even if at all the sugar syrup consistency slips a bit or if Ghee is added less too, it still gives a delicious Burfi. That is because of the milk powder which lends its soft texture to this Maida Milk Burfi. Iam not a fan of regular Maida Burfi as I feel, even if its done well, somehow it turns little hard while setting. But, this Burfi recipe is very much forgiving, I would say. Even this time, I had slightly over done which made the top not as soft as it used to be. This is evident from the pics as well. But, nevertheless, it tasted very nice and remained soft too. Come, lets check out the recipe!

Chocolate Burfi | Milk Chocolate Recipe

These Chocolatey addictive Burfis are one of the best and I follow my Amma's Recipe to make these. Whenever I do, I get immersed in her thoughts and the fond memories of how my classmates used to enjoy these chocolate saying that it tastes like '5 Star' chocolate bar. Even today, I felt the same taste, but only difference being, this one is not so gooey inside like the 5-Star bar. This Burfi can be done in a jiffy, in less than 15mins. No stirring required and in fact, no cooking required once the Sugar Syrup is done. Do try this Easy Chocolate Burfi and surprise your family!

PAAL PAYASAM | EASY RICE KHEER RECIPE | PRESSURE COOKER PAAL PAYASAM

Paal Payasam, also known as Rice Kheer is a south Indian dessert which is made during festivals like Gokulashtami and Tamil New year (Chithirai Vishu). We do it for Neivedhyam on 'Durgashtami' - the 8th day of Navarathri.This is the first item that one would include when planning for any festive menu.



Ideally, rice and milk should be cooked on a low flame for a long time till the rice is cooked and the milk thickens and becomes creamy, with an exotic rich flavour. My MIL’s sister from whom I learnt most of the traditional Indian sweets and savouries does it that way.I still remember the pleasant aroma that fills the entire house while its getting cooked. As it takes a really long time (more than an hour) and requires constant supervision , I tried out the Pressure cooker method when I chanced upon the recipe in a tamil magazine. I was in for a surprise when I opened the cooker lid. Wow...the milk had thickened and looked like condensed milk, with rice  well blended in it. Absolutely fell in love with its beige coloured texture and lusciously divine taste. It can be done with minimal effort which makes it a Super hit recipe. Ready to check it out??

Carrot Almond Kheer | Easy Dessert Recipe | How to make Kheer in Pressure Cooker

When Srivalli announced 'Festival Recipes' as one of the themes for July Blogging Marathon,I thought of preparing one dish each for Raksha Bandhan, Ganesh Chathurthi and Krishna Janmashtami. I was familiar with the Prasadam which is offered for Ganesh Chathurthi and Janmashtami, but I was'nt sure of the authentic delicacies prepared for Raksha Bandhan. While exploring on Raksha Bandhan recipes, I could find most authentic sweet varieties are the ones which I had done earlier successfully and recipes were requested by my friends too. So, I decided to go with all three recipes which are significant to this Raksha Bandhan festival. 

This Carrot Almond Kheer was suggested by my colleague Vasanthi who is a very good friend and guide of mine. Though I do Carrot Kheer using Pressure cooker quite often, this twist of combining carrot, almond and saffron was new to me. When she did this for a family get together, everybody had asked if this was Almond Kheer. None could find Carrot as the main ingredient. I urge you to definitely try this super-easy and healthy Kheer, especially if you have a fussy-eater at home who refuses to eat carrots. They will sure like this rich and decadent Kheer and ask for more.
