Besan Burfi

rehanak55 — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 07:00:14 +0000

Preparation Method:

1. Melt the ghee in a heavy bottom wide vessel. Add the besan and roast it quite well.

2. Roast over a very low flame and stir constantly. The color of the besan should darken to a deep golden brown. The mixture should be a little fluid as well i.e not too dry.

3. If it is very dry, add a little more ghee. The besan (and in fact your whole kitchen) should really smell very fragrant at this point. Add the sugar and stir.

4. Take the pan off the heat. Add 1/2 of the cardamom powder. Spread the mixture on a tray to 1/2 inch thickness.

5. Sprinkle with the remaining cardamom powder, the chopped nuts and saffron strands.

6. Let cool completely and cut into squares, diamonds or rectangles.

Ingredients:

1 cup besan (Chickpea flour)
1 cup sugar (more if you have a real sweet tooth)
1/4 cup ghee
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
pinch saffron
4-5 almonds, cut into slivers
4-5 pistachios, cut into slivers

Banana Nut Muffins

rehanak55 — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 06:53:01 +0000

Preparation Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line muffin pan with muffin paper cups
Mash bananas well
Chop the walnuts and reserve 1 tbsp for sprinkling on top.
Add sugar and melted butter
Mix the dry ingredients really well or sift and then add to banana mixture [ Mixing dry ingredients is important. Otherwise you will be biting into lumps of uncooked baking powder - not a pleasant taste!]
Add the chopped nuts.
Mix just enough to bring everything together
Fill muffin cups about 3/4 to the top
Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Bake for 20 minutes or till the muffins are golden brown.

This makes 12 large muffins.

Picture:

Ingredients:

4 ripe bananas (The original recipe was 3. I increased by 1 to compensate for the egg)
1 egg (I omitted this)
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter (unsalted)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups of flour (all purpose)
Small handful of walnuts, chopped.

Mini Mango Cheescake

rehanak55 — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 09:45:21 +0000

Preparation Method:

Spread the walnuts in a single layer in a microwave safe plate and nuke for 1-1.5 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast them in the oven or in a heavy bottomed pan on the stove.
Cool and roughly chop/powder them in tiny pieces.
To prepare the crust, mix 1/2 the crust mix packet, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tbsp melted butter (or margarine) and the walnut powder.
Line a mini-muffin pan with paper cups.
Spoon 1 tbsp of crust mix into each paper cup. Press well with fingers or with a small rounded spoon. The mix will cover the entire bottom and a little bit of the sides.
Refrigerate the crusts while you prepare the filling.
For the filling, mix 3/4 cup of cold milk with 1/2 the contents of the filling mix from the box.
Beat with a wooden spoon till the filling thickens and gets fluffy. The directions on the box advise beating with a electric mixture, but I like the old fashioned way of mixing with a spoon. This so, because it gives the arms quite a workout and also because I don't own an electric mixer!
Add the lemon and orange zest to the filling.
Refrigerate the filling mixture for 1 hour
Spoon the filling onto the chilled crusts.
Top with diced mango and garnish with chopped strawberries

Makes for nice bite sized dessert nibbles. Because these were made in a mini muffin tin, they were just the right size to pop whole into the mouth. You can use this same recipe to make a regular sized cheesecake and top with sliced mango.

Picture:

Ingredients:

1 box of Jello No Bake Cheesecake mix (I just used half of the box contents)
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup milk (2% milkfat)
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp orange zest
8-10 walnuts
1 ripe mango
a few strawberries for garnish
