Borugula laddu or Maramarala laddu / Puffed Rice in yummy jaggery syrup

Hey !!! let me share with you one of our traditional sweet,easy to prepare and yummy to taste...
Firstly iam a big fan of Indira , website :http://www.nandyala.org/mahanandi

She exposes many of the traditional dishes very clearly for beginners to follow.
I have gone through this recipie in her website and enhanced it in my own style in my own !!!! kitchen ;)

The result is ...not even a laddu is left for taking a pic...will upload the pic once i prepare it again.

Required:

Murmura (borugulu, puffed rice) - one quart
Jaggery - one cup (powdered)
Water - one cup
Cardamom - 2 (seeds powdered)
Cashew: half cup
badam : a few

1. First make cashews and badam into small pieces
2. Dry roast , take out and cooll them.
Now we can start preparation of jaggery syrup:
3. Take a bowl,heat it for a min and add jaggery and then the water ,allow it to boil
 In 15 minutes or so,we get thick jaggery syrup foaming up.
Test: Take a drop and put in cool water,it should turn into a thick mass rather than getting mixed with water.
Now the syrup is ready.
4.Add the murmura and dry fruit pieces,continuosly stirring the mixture.
5.Now add elaichi powder,stir and switch it off once the puffed rice is getting closer as a dry golden mass.

Make laddus with the mixture ,once its a bit cool enough to touch.
Note : Keep a bowl of cool water to wet your hands in between making laddus.

Thats it .Its done !!!!!!!!

6.now add riped banana crushing it nicely and add butter now to blend well
7.Then add the beetroot and  sugar mixture and then the milkmaid

10.place this mixture with the help of spoon in the idli moulds and close the lid and turn on stove
11.Turn off the stove for just one whistle ( ont keep it for long),it looses taste.
12.Open the cooker and u will get stunned seeing the beetroot fruit and nut in dark pink colour.
13.Now remove it carefully with help of a spoon and u vl wish to touch it again and again

Now u can serve it hot and chill it in freezer and serve it also.

If u hav vanilla ice cream available,try this:

1. Take a nice long glass and put a layer of vanilla using scoop
2.then add our beetroot fruit and nut prepared above as the second layer and then again icecream layer
3.continue like this with a layer of chocolate sauce in between if you are a chocolate lover
4.Finally end with a scoope of vanilla again.
5.leave it for some time and then have it.

Heaven stands in front of you,i bet....

Spongyy Spongyyy eggless cake !!!!!

Humm, its christmas ...want to prepare cake on my Own,but its friday tooo...I am a vegetarian on friday ;)
What 2 doooooo ? googled few egg less cake recipies and finally did in my own wayy...

Eggless sponge cake:

1 cup maida
1/2 cup condensed milk ( nestle milk maid will help)
1/4 cup Butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tblsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup finely grinded sugar with  2 to 3elaichi
cherries,
edible food color ( I have used dark merune and kesar food colors mixed to acheive this output)

1) Sieve the dry ingredients
2) Now mix condensed milk to the above sieved mixture, also add some water, essence, and melted butter,add milk to make the batter thin
3) Mix the mixture well.add cherries and edible colour. Now put in a greased baking tray.
4) Bake it for 10 minutes under 200degree Celsius and on 180 degree for another 10 minutes.
5) Insert a toothpick and if nothing sticks to it means cake is done. Let it cool for sometime.
Then turn over and tap from back to remove.

Note : I used Electric cooker. I nicely greased the container with butter and then dusted with maida.
Dusting is important here.Then added the cake batter into it.

The cooker button comes up every five minutes and it is a bit work consuming to get it down every ten minutes.But the final cake makes you forget ur hardwork...trust me !!!
