Banana Sweet Sandwich (with gram lentils)


I saw this amazing recipe on Aamhi Saare Khavayye, and my mom tried it the same day, it turned out great! Its very easy and effortless.
Ingredients
1 cup gram lentils
¾ cup jaggery
2 to 3 tbspn. Ghee
3 to 4 Bananas perfectly ripe
Method
Cook the gram lentils in the pressure cooker until soft. Keep aside.
Take ½ tbspn. Ghee in a pan, add the cooked gram lentils to it, stir nicely, add jiggery and mix well, it should form into a nice paste, if you keep stirring for a while the lentils get smashed and form a paste. Switch off the flame and let it cool.
Peel off the skin of the bananas, slice them horizontally into two halves, make a sandwich by stuffing the mixture of gram lentils between the banana slices. Keep aside.
Heat the remaining ghee in a frying pan, place your stuffed banana on them and fry them till nice dark brown from both sides.
It tastes awesome!! Do try it and let me know!!

Wheat Laddoos!!!







First time on my blog I am posting a mithai item. Its easy to prepare and scrumptiously melting in the mouth kind of recipe!

Recipe (12 to 15 laddoos)
8 to 10 tbspn. Wheat Flour
4 to 5 tbspn. Ghee
6 to 7 tbspn. Powdered Sugar or 8 tbspn jaggery
½ tspn. Cardamom powder (Elaichi)
Saffron for decoration

Method
Heat ghee in a pan, add wheat flour to it and sauté till it is fragrant; it turns a bit darker and lighter. Don’t hurry up in this process. Keep the flame low, it should happen in about 15 to 20 minutes. This is a crucial process. Once you ensure it’s done, add sugar/jaggery while its still hot. Let it become warm, so that you can knead it properly. It should be mixed really well, it is becomes very soft. Add elaichi powder and make laddoos! You may add a little ghee while making laddoos if you feel it’s too dry.
Decorate it with saffron threads.
And pop in you mouth, I bet they will melt in your mouth!
