Rava Kesari (MYM #7)

This is also known as Sheera in northern India. This is one of the most common sweets you find in temples as offering to God. It is very simple dish which can be made in jiffy.


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup rava 
  • 1 cup sugar ( If you prefer it sweeter add another half cup)
  • 3 cups water ( I prefer the sweet softer than dry)
  • 3 spoons ghee ( you can add more too...i like less amount of ghee in my sweet)
  • 1 spoon cashew nuts
  • 1 spoon raisins
  • 1 spoon cardamon powder
  • yellow color 
  • saffron strands (this gives very nice smell and taste, the pic I've shown doesn't have saffron strands in it)

Procedure:
  • First fry the sooji/ rava in ghee and keep it aside
  • Boil the water in a pan and add sugar to it. 
  • Once sugar is completely melted, add the fried sooji/ rava to the pan and close it with lid.
  • In the mean fry cashew nuts and raisins 
  • Now add cardamon powder, saffron and yellow color to the pan.
  • Once the rava is completely boiled take it in to a plate and garnish it with fried raisins and nuts. 
I hope you found this easy to cook. I like to have it in the evenings. This would be my this week's entry for Mellow Yellow Monday. Shoot your comments about this recipe.

S is for Sky Scraper

When ever I hear this word one thing comes in to my mind immediately is, the New York City. Apart from being my favorite place, this place has also added some beautiful memories in to my diary. I can never forget the Friday evenings I spent in that city. Sometimes with my friends (most of the time by myself) we used to walk down the street just like that. Have fun talking on the roads, looking at the people from different nations, eating food what not?  One Penn Plaza  I used to work at  Manhattan  (heart of the city) in One Penn plaza. It is 54 storied building,  shares the same street with Empire state building.  It was fun working in a desi company, but surrounded mostly by Mexicans. They are very friendly people though, very sweet and believe me most of the girls are damn gorgeous.  Macys was adjacent to my work place, I used to get in that tall 9 storied building and spend some hours walking around the displays. I have bought many gifts for my parents and my husband (then m

Thursday Challenge - 7

Brown is the theme of this week's  Thursday Challenge . Initially I thought of uploading Coffee cup snap, in the mean this snap popped from no where in my folders. Then I changed my thought and wanted to upload this pic. The three cups with chocolate sauce are of different flavors (though they look like same flavored one). Now guess which one was my cup. Cheers, Vrinda.

T is for Time

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is referred to solar time at royal observatory in Greenwich , London . I’ve been to this place in the year 2008 on my B’day. This pic is little blurred, as I cropped it and made some changes for a better view of this clock.  Greenwich clock with  standard measurements down there. There is a meridian line where you can at a time be on 2 different poles of earth (North Pole and South Pole). If you are in UK and never visited this place, then please go and visit it. If you are visiting UK then don't miss this place. It's fun to be here, esp for kids. This post is posted at Alphabe- Thursday . Cheers, Vrinda.
