Poha Halwa

I am finally back to blogging after a long break! I hope to post recipes more frequently. Poha halwa is my own creation. It is very yummy and tastes close to chakkarai pongal (sweet rice pudding). It takes only 10 minutes to prepare this dessert. Let's move on to the recipe.

Ingredients:

200 grams MTR Badam Halwa Mix
1.5 cups thin poha (aval/beaten rice flakes)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup ghee
Handful of cashews and raisins
A pinch of orange food color

Method:

Roast cashews and raisins in 2 tsp ghee till they turn golden brown.
Set aside.
Wash poha in water and squeeze excess water and set aside. It's ok if it turns mushy. Use only thin variety poha.
In the same pan, add MTR badam halwa mix, washed poha, milk and stir everything together till mixture turns thick. Keep adding remaining ghee while stirring. Add food color and mix well.
Garnish with roasted cashews and raisins.
Serve hot.

Broccoli Roti

Broccoli is a wonderful vegetable which I started eating after I got pregnant with Anush. I really started experimenting more when I came to know that Anush likes to eat it sometimes, but not always though. So I wanted to try new things and introduce it to him. So this is one of them ....

Ingredients:
-------------
1 whole Broccoli bunch (usually it comes with 3 broccoli heads)
2 cups of Atta or Wheat Flour
1 tbsp Butter (optional)
Salt if needed
Water as needed

Method:
----------
1. Grate broccoli with the help of a box grater and keep it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, butter and the grated broccoli and mix it well.

3. Now add enough water to make a dough similar to the regular chapati/roti dough.
4. Cover the dough with a little bit of oil over it let it sit for about 15 mins.
5. Now heat a non-stick pan.
6. Now make lemon size balls and roll each ball to a roti shape.

7. Now place each roti on the hot pan and cook it until small light brown spots appear on the lower side of the roti.
8. Now flip it once and cook it again until the roti is done.
9. Make all the rotis as above and enjoy it with any side dish or just yogurt and pickle.
