I started this blog just as a normal home chef and at that time, I did not have even slightest of an idea that my recipes would gain quite an appreciation in such a small time...today its been two and half months, and my Facebook Page has already reached 1000 + likes. For a home cook like me, it really counts as a big achievement and to celebrate it, I am here with a delectable dessert recipe which is one of my favorites, the classic chocolate glazed doughnuts . Oozing with the scintillating aroma and deliciousness of chocolate, they truly make for an awesome treat which can be served during high-tea gatherings, kids birthday celebrations, dinner parties or picnics. And yes, as its the month of Ramadan, you can also serve them for Iftari; they would surely make for a superb choice.

Though I am not very fond of sweets, there is one particular dessert which I absolutely adore and that is none other than our desi rice pudding, be it kheer or phirni. While this lusciously creamy sweet pudding is a must-prepare in our home during festivals, given an opportunity, I love making it on other days as well, especially on occasions like birthdays and anniversaries or even parties and get-togethers. So, recently when we had few friends coming over for dinner, I just could not miss this opportunity of making my favorite dessert once again....having said that, I did make it but gave it a little fruity twist by infusing peach flavors in the same (just can't help with the food experimentation bug within me 😜). To my immense pleasure, it came out really magical leaving all the guests absolutely delighted. Well! peaches are in season, if you too are planning to prepare kheer or phirni, do try giving this magical twist and I promise, you will really be surprised with its exoti

One of the best childhood memories that certainly most of us would be treasuring is, indulging in those milky, creamy & flavorful stick kulfis during the hot summer months (the times when Ice Creams were not much popular); I still remember that one particular kulfiwala who would daily come to our locality in the evenings and lure the kids playing around with the resonance of his tinkling bell. The musky fragrance of cardamom and a crunch of pistachios and almonds in every bite of his kulfis were simply to die for and which still arouses that feeling of nostalgia, taking me back in good old times. Today, while sitting outside India, though I cannot easily lay my hands on those luscious kulfis in markets or shopping malls, all thanks to my cooking abilities that I can still prepare and enjoy them at my own comfort. The recipe is quite simple and anyone and everyone with even least of the interest in cooking can easily make these. So, do try once and let me know how it turned out.

Oozing with deliciousness of chocolate and cream, this dessert makes for a perfect close to a hearty dinner. And if you are thinking to give a surprise to your kids, they would simply fall in love with you all over again after eating this heavenly delight. The recipe is very simple and without eggs which makes it perfect for vegetarians too... do give it a try and post in your feedback after making the same.
