Rava Laddoo

I'm on a laddoo, ahem...cough, roll: Rava Laddoo

Yes, they are just rava, ghee, sugar and milk. Followed this recipe but omitted the nuts and raisins. Avoided burring sugar in the food processor and used this sugar. Surprised at my self-restraint, the laddoo are cooling and i have yet to dig my teeth into one.

Besan ke Laddoo: Cure for a wet day in fall

I found this description of the making really helpful, though i ignored the flavourings. Just besan, ghee and sugar are perfect. I have to admit, the laddoos look like freshly laid eggs with soft shells :). Hopefully they'll get kadak real soon.

Nankhatai

Nankhatai, growing up, were bought at the local, malayalee bakery. Another import to Goa from Kerala, apart from Math teachers.

My attempts at making nankhatai.

Try,

and try,

till you succeed!

For serious readers, some history, some geography and some musings.

Signing off, in ghee induced coma.
