[nggallery id=9]

Hello Friends, sorry for the long pause, I have been sick for sometime so I couldn’t post any recipes or come n visit ur blogs. Trying to become active, will be checking around ur blogs shortly.
One of my friends had asked  for a homemade chocolate recipe some time ago. I got this recipe from my MIL. I have been postponing this cos everytime I forget to get milk powder. Finally, here’s the Home made chocolate with milk powder.
This recipe doesn’t require much work other than preparing sugar syrup. Also care should be taken while preparing the syrup as it changes the chocolate texture. So carefully follow the steps to get the perfect chocolate at home.

Pongal with Rock Sugar or Sugar Candy / Kalkandu Pongal

Cook Time :25 Min | Servings : 2 persons

Happy Tamil New year Friends !!
I was thinking to do something sweet on the Tamil New year day but wasn’t sure what to do. Suddenly got reminded of the rock sugar which I recently brought from Indian groceries and got this recipe from my MIL. She was telling me that this would taste like halwa as we add more milk and ghee. Trust me, they tasted really like halwa !!! I added more milk than water, also the ghee improved it’s taste.

Curd Semiya / Thayir Semiya

Cook Time :20 Min | Servings : 3 Persons

Curd Semiya / Thayir Semiya
One of the Kongunadu recipes. These days there are very few marriages at my place without curd semiya, quite famous among kids too. Some people add rice to it and some cook semiya in the normal procedure and add curd to it. We use home made curd which we freshly prepared from the milk we get from our farms. It would be thick, creamy and with slight natural sweetness. Curd with white rice would be our last meal in our lunch for sure. I miss the fresh homemade ones here .. We add pomegranate to curd rices and semiya. In this procedure, tempering can be skipped. It can be severed as it is or cold. You can see the tips to make home made curd in US here.

Rava Kesari

Rava Kesari is a famous sweet and can be served as Hot or Cold. Mostly these sweet would be present in any small functions at our houses. It’s very easy to prepare and yet tastes good. Adding milk enhances the richness of it. Since milk is added it comes in yellowish color. If you are so particular about the color add more Orange food color.
