Poha Chivda

 Both my husband and my daughter love poha chivda. Many buy it from grocery stores, without realizing how easy it is to make this at home. This recipe is as complicated as making tadka :) 

Chivda has a pretty good shelf life too, making it ideal for after school snacks, or evening snacks with coffee/tea. 

Do try! 

Happy Janmashtami!! 

Gulkand Barfi

 Happy Deepavali!!

Presenting an easy peasy barfi recipe which can be done in no time and tastes like store bought ones. I clearly need to work more on how they look :)

It doesn’t need any major prep work other than buying ingredients and it must’ve taken me like 15 min from start to finish. 

I saw this recipe on Oggarane dabbi cooking show long time back. It needs 3 main ingredients - Khoa, Sugar and Gulkand. The original recipe uses sweetened khoa, but since it was not available here, I added powdered sugar. 

Do try! Happy Deepavali once again! 

Gojjavalakki/ Spiced Poha

Happy Krishnashtami! 

Gojjavalakki is basically crushed poha mixed with puliyogare-like masala. One of the very popular devara-prasadas served in temples. Very simple to make. This particular recipe makes masala from scratch. You can also use any other puliyogare mix instead of the masala below. 

Do try! 

KodbaLe

Kodbale is a fried snack made during festivals. My mom makes this for Ganesha chaturthi. This is my mom’s trademark recipe. It is slightly different than regular kodbale. My favorite. My daughter’s favorite too. 

It is a little time consuming, and you don’t get enough quantity for the whole lot of work you put in, but the taste makes up for it.  

And it’s Ganesha habba season again! Happy birthday to my dear blog!!

Make this kodbale for this festival season and enjoy!

Happy Gowri and Ganesha habba!!!
