Condensed Milk Rava Kesari

It was Moolam Nakshatram yesterday, Saraswathi Aavaganam (Saraswathi pooja starts fm this day). Planned to do Rava Kesari and Muparuppu Vadai. I have always tried rava kesari with sugar, thought of using Condensed milk this time.

The Kesari came out great. My son Naras  who normally doesnt like anything swwweeett actually had a small cup of kesari. I have successfully passed in this  :)  :)

First three days
The goddess is separated as a spiritual force called Durga also known as Kali in order to destroy all our impurities.

Second three days
The Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshmi, who is considered to have the power of bestowing on her devotees inexhaustible wealth, as she is the goddess of wealth.

The final set of three days is spent in worshipping the goddess of wisdom, Saraswathi. In order to have all-round success in life, believers seek the blessings of all three aspects of the divine femininity, hence the nine nights of worship.(From Wikipedia)





















I Prepared Sweet & Kara Sundal for Navratri.



Happy Navratri to All.

Plain White Bread

Quite satisfiy with this shape of square white bread. With 90 minutes proofing sponge dough method of 孟老师的100道面包, I must say "worth it"! The crumb is soft but I've no idea how long it can stay soft as it's finished in two days.

Recipes: (A) 220g bread flour / 3g yeast / 130g water

(B) 60g bread flour / 15g sugar / 1/2 tsp salt / 10g milk /

powder / 40g water

(C) unsalted butter 15g

Method:

1. Knead ingredients (A) together until it's well combine and become a dough ball. Let it sit in a clean bowl cover with cling wrap proof for 90 minutes at room temperature.
2. Mix in the ingredients (B) to (A) and knead until a smooth dough then add butter.
3. Continue to knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. Proof for 60 minutes.
4. Divide the dough in to 3 portions and rest for 10 minutes.
5. Roll out each doughs into a longish shape and roll up like a swiss roll. Place the doughs in a grease bread tin cover with lid and proof for 50 - 60 minutes until the dough fill up 90% of the bread tin.
6. Bake at 200'C for 30 minutes. Remove the bread from the bread tin and cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
