Siru ma Laddu/Besan Laddu

I was very eager to prepare a sweet in our new microwave oven. So when I turned the book which was given with the Oven,I saw this simple recipe and decided it to try. Because this same laddoo will take more than 5 hours to prepare in my Mom's place.of course that day we didn't have microwave. Moving the gas stove to a more spacious hall and starting the work and all .... It will be a memorable experience for every diwali ..(only for diwali my mom,grand mom,grand father and all will be doing it..). So I prepared this laddoo and it had the same taste as my mom prepared.



Ingredients
Besan flour-1 cup
sugar powdered - 3/4 cup
ghee-1/3 cup
Elaichi powder -1/4 tsp


Method:
In a microwave safe bowl, add the flour and ghee and mix well.Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes,stirring after every one minute.Reduce the power to 70% and microwave for another minute stirring once after 30 seconds.Remove and let the mixture cool completely.Add the cardomom powder and sugar and mix well. Shape into laddoos.

Ingredient

Water Melon- 2 cups
Ginger 1/2 inch piece
salt - 1/4 tsp
sugar - 2 tsp





Remove the seeds from the melon and blend the above Ingredients. Keep in fridge for half an hour and serve chilled.

To enhance the taste of Rasam!

To enhance the taste of Rasam, temper using ghee instead of oil. This gives you a taste which you will never forget!Try it out!

To make Idli Upma Tastier!!

Keep the left over Idlies in the fridge for some time and make upma from that. Upma will be crunchy. The taste will be enhanced If you use Idli Milagai podi Instead of redchillies. Try it Out!!!

While cutting Yam..

When you are cutting yam,rub the tamarind into your hands.So that hands wont get irritated.
