Now, some of you may ask, why the name "Toffee"? Well, that's because the caramel sauce and the butterscotch lends it a beautiful caramel toffee flavor...and was named so by my husband because when he tasted it, his first words were like "oh..it tastes like a toffee"...so initially I was about to name them as caramel almond rolls or butterscotch almond rolls but this "toffee" thing actually changed my mind and I named this beautiful sweet as Almond Toffee Rolls.

Almond Toffee Rolls | Caramel Badam Rolls


METHOD

Caramel Sauce

  • Add sugar and water in a heavy bottomed pan. Make sure the pan is tall, this is because when you add cream/butter, the mixture will bubble and start to splatter. So you need a pan with tall sides. Set the heat to medium-low.
  • Let the sugar dissolve and come to a boil. Do this on medium low heat.
  • The mixture will keep boiling, do not whisk it in between or stir it. Just let it boil until it attains a nice amber color. Just keep a close eye on the color as it will just take a blink of an eye for the sugar to burn.
  • Remove the pan from heat and after 15 seconds add butter to it. Be careful at this stage because, the mixture would splutter like crazy. Then add the cream and whisk it vigorously till it's all smooth.
  • If you want, you can also add a pinch of salt at this stage and mix in nicely.
  • Let the sauce cool completely and then store in the refrigerator. The sauce will solidify in the fridge, so whenever you want to use it just take it out of the refrigerator, microwave for few seconds and it's ready to be used in anything you like.
Note: If you want, you can also use store-bought caramel sauce and skip making it from the scratch.

Butterscotch/ Mixed Nut Praline
  • In a heavy bottomed pan, take the sugar and let it melt on medium-low heat.
  • Do not touch or stir in between.
  • When the sugar is completely melted, let it boil and attain a golden color.
  • At this stage, mix in the chopped nuts and butter.
  • Give a nice stir.
  • Remove the mixture on a greased plate or thali and immediately spread thinly.
  • Let it cool down completely after which, break into pieces with your hands.
  • Put a couple of pieces in a ziplock bag and crush roughly using a rolling pin.
  • Keep the crushed butterscotch aside.
Note: If you want, you can also use store-bought butterscotch pearls and skip making the butterscotch from scratch.

Almond Toffee
  • Soak the almonds overnight or atleast for 6 hours. In the morning, peel the skin.
  • Using little milk at a time, ground these almonds in a smooth paste.
  • Remove the almond paste in a bowl and add in the milk powder along with caramel sauce, sugar and ghee. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer this mix in a heavy bottomed or non stick pan. Switch on the heat and turn it to medium-low.
  • Stirring continuously, cook this mixture until it starts leaving the sides of the pan and turns into a dough like mass. It will take good 15-20 minutes.
  • Add in the butterscotch essence and give a nice mix.
  • Remove the dough on a plate and let it cool a bit so that you can handle it with your hands.
  • Once the mixture is little cooled down, add in the crushed praline and mix in the dough nicely using your hands.
  • Keep the dough in fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • Now, divide the dough in 3 to 4 pieces. Shape them into balls.
  • Roll each ball in a thick log using your hands.
  • Cut in 2 and 1/2 or 3 inch long pieces.
  • Apply silver vark (edible silver leaves) if you wish to.
  • Almond Toffee Rolls are ready. They can also be packed and distributes as edible Diwali gifts to your loved ones.

Best Homemade South Indian Sambar Recipe

By -
Image
A hearty stew made with yellow lentils, vegetables and heaps of aromatic spice powder, Sambar is a staple served with all the meals at every South Indian household. The flavorful lentil curry tempered with aromatic curry leaves, mustard seeds and whole dried red chilies makes for a delectable accompaniment whether having hot idlis , vada, dosa or even plain steamed rice. It won't be incorrect to say that while sambar is majorly known for its tongue-tickling taste, it is also packed with a lot of health benefits; toor dal lends it that much needed dosage of protein, the vegetables provide it with all the essential vitamins and minerals and lastly, addition of hing and tamarind loads it with immune-boosting properties. Having said that, every household has its own recipe of making sambar. Some like it to have thick, others a bit runny. Some like the chunkiness of vegetables whereas others like their sambar to be smooth. Some like it on a tangier side, others with just a hint

Farali Dhokla - Navratri Special [No Eno Fruit Salt] | Vrat ka Dhokla | Barnyard Millet Savory Steamed Cake

Recently my husband travelled to Ahmedabad and while returning brought a 3-in-1 dhokla/idli/patra steamer for me. Since then, I am always in lookout for opportunities to use this versatile steamer. Well! in the past 15 - 20 days I have already tried my hands making the instant KHAMAN DHOKLA and the 3 GRAIN DHOKLA , both of which were a big hit on my blog. It was now time again to experiment something new; and because we all are observing the Navratri fasts , there was no choice but to come up with a farali dhokla . A few days back, I was just scrolling through various blogs to find a dhokla recipe for the vrat (fasting) but each one listed a recipe that called for use of either eno or baking soda. Since I did not want to incorporate any of these ingredients in my fasting recipe, I thought of  going the old-fashioned way i.e. fermenting the batter overnight so that it gets a natural rise while steaming. And to my utter surprise, it actually worked. I got a nice spongy and fluffy

Farali Dahi ke Kebab | Vrat ke Dahi Kebab | Navratri Recipes

So soft, delectable and absolutely melt in mouth, Dahi ke Kebab are one of the most loved and popular vegetarian appetizers served in almost every North Indian restaurant. While, authentically these kebabs either have besan (gram flour) or bread crumbs for the binding, however, when craving for these kebabs during fasting, you can't have them because of them having these grains. So, just so that I could enjoy these heavenly goodies in fasting too, I tried creating a farali version of them by adding makhana (foxnut) and sabudana flours instead of besan or bread crumbs for the binding. Trust me, they came out absolutely mindblowing and super tasty. If you too are someone who likes to fast and enjoy the delectable stuff at the same time, then this recipe is absolutely a must try.....  Farali Dahi ke Kebab | Vrat ke Dahi Kebab | Navratri Recipes INGREDIENTS Hung Curd -  1 Cup Grated Paneer - 1/4 cup Sendha Namak - as per taste Kala Namak - as per taste Sugar - 1 to 2 tsp F

Instant Moong Dal Idli Recipe | How to Make Instant Moong Dal Idli

Idli is one of the healthiest Indian breakfast options by far. These soft, pillowy and melt-in-mouth lentil cakes are traditionally made by fermenting rice and urad dal batter overnight; however, the entire process could be quite cumbersome and involves a little amount of planning ahead. Therefore, instant versions of idlis come very handy when you want to have something quick and yet wholesome and healthy in the breakfast . And especially when it comes to me, I am a big fan of instant recipes, be it instant sprouted moong dal dosa , instant rava & oats idli or instant dhokla , you would find me making these items very frequently as they are not only very quick to make and save you a hell lot of time in the kitchen but, at the same time are quite tasty as well as wholesome.

Burani Raita Recipe | Spiced, Garlic Flavored Yogurt

By -
Image
Burani Raita is a famous Indian accompaniment to spicy biryanis and pulaos. A Hyderabadi specialty, it uses some thick yogurt that is mixed with few pounded cloves of garlic and some basic spice powders like red chili and roasted cumin, which lend it that much-needed hint of spicy kick. Not to mention, when it comes to making the Burani Raita, it is no more than a five minutes process and makes for an ideal side dish to go along with any kind of rice preparation or even chapati & sabzi combination. Ideally, this utterly flavorful and aromatic raita only has to it, some pounded raw garlic, however, I have given it a slight twist by topping it with some fried garlic bits and some red chili oil for extra flavoring. This step is totally optional and you can skip it altogether by sticking to the traditional way of making it. So, not wasting any time further, lets move on to the recipe....

Festivities like Ganesh Chaturthi , Dussehra and Diwali are just around the corner. For me, this is the most awaited time of the year with decked up markets, a little chill in the air and happiness all around, emanating an aura of positivity and elation in each and every heart. This is also the time when I gear up for the celebrations indulging in shopping, decorating the house and offcourse preparing some traditional sweets and savories at home for all my friends and family.
