Plum & Coconut Yogurt Ice Lollies

By -
My husband is quite fond of desserts and chocolates; and he essentially needs something after dinner to satiate his sweet cravings. So, yesterday when I was making the plum compote, I already had in my mind to use it in preparing these delicious ice lollies which are loaded with goodness of yogurt, power-packed nutrients from the plums and a mild & refreshing taste from coconut. If you have the compote/preserve handy, they can be simply made in a jiffy and without requiring too much of an effort. Also, I have used coconut flavored Greek yogurt, you can make it with plain yogurt too. Here's the complete recipe for the same.



Ingredients (makes 4)

2-3 tbsp Plum Compote (store bought plum jam or preserve would work as fine)
1-2 tbsp coconut flavored Greek yogurt (or you can also flavor the plain yogurt with some coconut cream and sugar; it would work too)



Method

1. Pour the compote in popsicle moulds such that they are filled 1/3rd.
2. Let these moulds sit in the freezer for about an hour after which, place a popsicle stick in their middle.
3. Also, fill 1/3rd of the portion with coconut yogurt and again pop them in freezer to sit for an hour.
4. After the two layers are set, top it with another layer of compote and let these lollies set for good 5 to 6 hours after which, enjoy them chilled.

Halwai Style Hing Jeera Aloo ki Sabzi

By -
Image
Hing Jeera Aloo ki Sabzi is a spicy potato curry mostly enjoyed in UP and other parts of Northern India. The lip-smacking curry makes for a perfect accompaniment to kachoris, parathas as well as pooris. Traditionally, it is paired with Bedmi Poori - a spiced lentil stuffed crispy fried bread, yet another popular delicacy from the region. For me, Hing Jeera Aloo, Bedmi Poori and a chilled glass of meethi lassi makes for the most hearty breakfast to ever enjoy. The ongoing lockdown has made us stay inside our homes for more than a month now. With that, I am sure most of you would be missing that tentalizing Sunday breakfast of poori aloo ki sabzi, kachoris and samosas from that one special halwai highly famous in your colonies - am I right? Even I am missing that lipsmacking street-side breakfast, and therefore, decided to make this hing jeera aloo ki sabzi in traditional halwai style at home. Served it with bedmi poori and our yummilicious breakfast for today was sorted in n...

Loaded with a tantalizing dry moong dal filling, these mini samosas are a perfect addition to your festive menu, be it of Diwali, Holi, Eid, Raksha Bandhan or Ganesh Chaturthi. Mini Dry Moong Dal Samosa | Farsaan Samosa Samosas have always been one of my favorite snacks to munch on with a hot cup of chai (tea). While the spicy  aloo samosas  are absolutely delectable, these bite size samosas filled with a spicy and a bit tangy dry lentil filling are also to die for. Additionally, they have a much longer shelf life and stay crisp easily for 15 to 20 days if stored in an air-tight container. Planning any party, get-together or a special event, not to mention, these mini dry moong dal samosas make for a perfect snack to be served to the guests. Without waiting any further, let's begin with the recipe. INGREDIENTS Maida/All Purpose Flour - 1 and 1/2 cups Refined oil - 3 tbsp Salt - 1/2 tsp Ajwain - 1 tsp Water - as needed, aro...

Bhatura is a leavened, puffed deep fried bread made from Maida or All Purpose Flour. A popular recipe from the Punjabi cuisine, it is mainly served with spiced chickpea curry such as Pindi Chholey and Amritsari Chholey .

Magaz Malai Paneer | Cottage Cheese in Creamy Melon Based Sauce

By -
Image
In India, especially on the Northern Side like Delhi and Punjab, whenever there is a party or a get-together planned at home, one dish that is a must-make for sure, has to be paneer (cottage cheese) based. While many a times I go either for Paneer Dhaniya Adraki Korma , Paneer Butter Masala , Shahi Palak Paneer Kofta Curry or Kadhai Paneer , this time I opted to experiment with flavors keeping them plain, simple and subtle. Trust me, the dish turned out to be super awesome and left my guests licking their fingers till the last bite.    To tell you more about this paneer recipe, its heart and soul is the gravy which is made using the paste of melon seeds, a little milk and a dollop of fresh cream. What lends it a touch of spice is only a couple of green chilies and black pepper powder. And yes, it is totally incomplete without kasoori methi powder that provides it with that much needed earthiness. One of my best paneer recipes till date, it ought to be indulged with som...
