A recipe for passion is always simmering !
Zunka anyone ?? What on earth could this be? (Obviously for anyone with no Hindi or Marathi background) Exactly! that was my first thought when I heard this name from a colleague who brought this beautiful dish for a potluck. It was so colourful and I couldn't resist my temptation to explore it. Zunka is a humble Maharashtrian dish… almost a staple there, simply meaning stir-fry, smeared with besan, a quicker version of Usili or Pithali, often made with just onions.
Badam burfi is one popular katli variety found in most sweet shops in India. Here is simple homemade version of this item. Coming to making perfect soft and sharp katli is quite an art and needs lot of practice. Fine grounding the nuts is one key factor which is hard to do with regular mixies… so mine will look slightly coarse texture wise. Adding milk while grinding is also another trick to grind them to a paste consistency but shelf life is limited and also mostly yields halwa like chewy bufis which I personally don't like and always powder mine after drying.
brocolli being a healthy veggie, was trying to use it up in some different form at home.. so came up with this. Simple and easy….

Kulfi is a dense frozen dessert made with milk. It can be flavoured in numerous ways most popular being the kesar, pista, badam and mango. Unlike ice cream this is not whipped so its melting point is very high and also texture looks similar to thick dense custard.

Simple curry with sprouted whole moong and Paneer. This recipe has got little more of cinnamon touch and adding paneer is just an eye catcher to make picky eaters to include sprouts in their diet.
