Diwali breakfast


Thanks Vee and Smi for bringing all those wonderful memories back. I remember getting up early and wearing my new dress and going down to burst Phataki with all my friends and come home only when my cousins would come home to wish their mama and mami and cousins for Diwali. We would all then go and have a wonderful breakfast of Pohe and chavalichi usal..I would have Aai post these recipes too. And ofcourse all the wonderful pharal which we would never get tired of eating. Then we would all go and visit Kaka and Atya and ofcourse eat more pharal. My fondest food memories are of eating Besan Ladoo and Chivda that Aai made ....they were the best...so here is the recipe and a picture of the ladoos too before they are all swiped off by R...I also loved Atya's mande ..oooooh and Kaki's Chirote...Anyway for now here is the recipe for the ladoo...

Besan Ladoo
- 4 watis besan
- a little rava
- 3 watis powdered sugar
- 1/4 wati milk
- 1.1/2 to 2 watis ghee
- elaichi
- Badam
- khismis

1. Roast besan in ghee till chnges colour,when ready sprinkle milk and fry for some more time,
2. Add 3/4 wati sugar, elaichi, khismis, badam and mix nicely and make ladus.
(This recipe was sent to me by Baba as told to him by Aai)
