Bread Halwa is something i can die for. Have grown up relishing this dessert made by my Dadi (grand mom). Many childhood memories freshen up the moment i take it’s first bite. The recipe was developed by my Late Grandmom and was forwarded to me by my Mom. It’s not just a dessert, it a tradition passing on to generations with it’s richness & authenticity !!!
Ingredient: ghee

Again one of my favorite childhood tea time snack… Nankhatai also known as Indian shortbread cookies or biscuits. There are many variants of Nankhatai but here i have tried the easiest one made mainly with flour, sugar and ghee. In this recipe i have added a lil gram flour (besan) and semolina (suji) also. I have grown up seeing my mom baking these sweet goodies for us in those old fashioned ovens where racks and racks of mouth melting nankhatais were baked. Today though we don’t have those assets but still i tried baking some to satisfy my sweet urge….

In my family celebration is all about having Biryani. In any occasion, a good Biryani is always the show stopper. Usually i make varieties of Biryani following my mom’s and grandmom’s recipes but today again for a change i tried making by following the recipe of master chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

The most commonly made Indian sweet at homes. Quick and easy loaded with loads of dry fruits make this Halwa more appetizing. I still remember when i was a kid and if there was any sudden arrival of guests, my mother use to run into the kitchen and withing minutes she use to come out with bowls of suji ka halwa. The mouth melting halwa with the richness of ghee n dry fruits was my family’s all time favorite. I still do make it for my son specially in winters.

Mutter Ki kachori happens to be the most favorite North Indian snack during the winters. Unlike those regular lentil and spice stuffed kachoris, the mutter kachori is filled with a spicy green pea filling and is served with tangy tamarind chutney and also with bedmi aloo ki sabzi at various places in North India. If you liked this Indian snack recipe, then try making it at home and share your feedback with me in comments below 🙂

Singhara aka water caltrop also comes as a fruit as well as flour. Gluten free flour is mostly used during fasts and Hindu festivals in India. The flour can be ghee roasted and used to make sweet fudge and can be stored for some days in refrigerator.

This dish is a time taking one and needs lot of patience. Believe me when the dish is ready you will feel the efforts were worth taking. I like Anarsa as it is different form the other snack prepared during Special occasions. My mom starts with this recipe first, by soaking the rice, prepares all the other dishes first and finishes with this dish to end the preparation. There are two reasons for this, first is this dish take lot of time for preparation and the other is, it is ready long before the occasion and finishes before the special…
