Extending the last date for the event Holi Aayi Re

I got a suggestion from Richa Priyanka to extend the last date for the event "Holi Aayi Re". I liked this suggestion, so now the last date for this event is 30th March 2011.
Hope you will get enough time to post your holi recipes. 

French Toast

This is my first post for Blogging Marathon...........yes I got chance to run with my friends. Thanks Srivalli to give me this chance. My theame for another seven days is KIDS FRIENDLY RECIPES.
I'm starting my Marathon with Eggless French Toast. This is my kids favorite recipe. I usually prepare it twice a week and everytime Ishani says, " Mom, can you pleeeeeeease make it daily". I love to hear that.

Happy Shivaratri to All

Shivaratri is one of the holiest nights of the year. It is the night dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. Literally, Shivratri means, “The great night of Shiva.” It is celebrated on the 13th or 14th day of the dark half of the month of Phalguna (February - March)




Happy Shivaratri to all. Bhagwan Bholenath, I pray to you for all the people in this world. Please give everyone happiness, peace, and lots of smile. This is my prayer for today.


   

Carrot Halwa

Carrot halwa is mainly made in winters in North India as carrots grow in winter. I remember the time when we used to wait for winter season only for this exotic dish. My mom make it from dark pink carrots, which enhance its flavour and give it a pinkish color. Though it can be made by any type of carrots.

Apple Rabri

Sometimes I'm too lazy. That's what I'll say in this condition. I wanted to send my entry for Smita's Cooking with Fruits Event, today is the last day and I'm posting in now. It's a last minute entry but I'm glad that I did it.


Here is a recipe for Apple Rabri. Rabri is a dish made by milk. This one  is made in microwave so it's a quick dish and delicious too. 

Ingredients:

Milk - 1/2 cup

Grated paneer - 3/4 cup

Condensed milk - 1/2 cup
Grated Apples - 1/2 cup

Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Saffron strands - 2

Chopped almonds or nuts - 1/2 tbsp

Method:

Add all the ingredients in a microwave Safe bowl. 

Keep HIGH and cook for 5 minutes. Stir it occasionally. See the consistency, if you want can keep it in microwave for another 2 mins. Allow to cool. It will get thick as it cools down. Garnish with nuts and enjoy it chilled. 

Note - Earlier I used this by using 1/2 cup paneer but Rabri was too sweet for us so I increased the quantity of paneer t 3/4 cup.
You can give the flavour you like.
It can be mango rabri by adding mango pulp.
It can be mix fruit rabri.
It can be coconut rabri and so on. Play with the basic recipe to get your taste.
