Peanut & almond ladoo - no sugar no jaggery, వేరుసెనగ బాదం లడ్డూలను ఇలా చేసి చూడండి

No sugar no jaggery - peanut almonds ladoo is super tasty and delicious and can be prepared very quickly. And it's my Riddhesh's favourite ladoo. These ladoo's are prepared using 5 ingredients, 1 ingredient which I used is thick poha. Poha is used in small quantity, it gives good taste and texture to ladoo's. If you are not interested you can simply skip adding poha. I love different varieties of ladoo's like Flax seeds ladoo, Oats & nuts ladoo you can watch this recipes in my YouTube. Other intresting ladoo's like 

** Til & sagoo ladoo

** Jowar popcorn ladoo

** Besan Ladoo

** Wheat flour ladoo using milk solids of ghee

** Poha badam ladoo

** Ragi peanut ladoo

** Rava Ladoo

** Sabudana coconut ladoo

** Maramarala Ladoo/ puffed rice ladoo

    Last month I came to my hometown Adoni, as Riddhesh stopped eating and my mom wanted to see him.We visited hospital too, Dr suggested to stay with family for few days inorder to improve his food habits and speech. Baby started talking "Amma, ba ba, ma ma, pa pa" and some other allien language which I can understand in some extend 😄. But no improvement in eating, trying many ways, wish he pass this phase soon. As we came home, many relatives suddenly visiting us mainly to see Riddhesh, now he became main person at home🤩. I prepared these peanut almond ladoo's for relatives in just 15 minutes as fried peanuts are already there in my kitchen.  

 My mom was talking with relatives and telling that Riddhesh not at all eating anything and I started serving ladoo's. Riddhesh came fastly, grabbed ladoo's from plate and

started eating it😄. My mom and I just stunned and everyone started laughing 😄. This is my peanut almond ladoo story ☺️. Try this healthy ladoo's for ur kids surely they will love it. 

Event : Shhhhh Secretly cooking challenge

Taking this super delicious and healthy ladoo's to shhhhh secretly cooking challange, this month theme "Healthy dessert" was suggested by Rafeeda . I am paired with Narmada who blogs at "nams corner". She gave almond and poha as secret ingredients in turn I gave her almonds and chocolate as secret ingredients, Narmada prepared healthy and tasty almond stuffed chocolate dates check out.

Peanut & almond ladoo

Preparation time : 20 minutes  

Serves : 10 + ladoo's

Category : dessert 

Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Main ingredients : peanut, almond 

Ingredients

Peanuts - 1 cup

Almonds - 1/2 cup

Thick poha - 2 tsp

Elachi - 3

Dates - 15 (adjust)

Process 

1) If you are using fried peanuts then skip this step. Fry peanuts on medium to low  flames till its changing color then take it into plate and let it cool to room temperature.

2) Now dry fry almonds on low to medium flames, when it starts popping take it into plate and let it cool.

3) Now dry fry poha on low flames as kadai will be hot. When poha starts changing color take it into plate and let it cool.

4) Let all the ingredients cool to room temperature.

5) Now take all fried ingredients in a mixer jar, to this add elachi deseeded dates and grind it bit coarsely.

6) Do not grind the ingredients too smooth or too coarsely.

7) Now take this mixture in a plate and start moulding ladoo's by applying ghee to your hands and take it into plate. (If we grind ingredients bit smooth coarse texture then no need to apply ghee)

 That's it our ladoo's are ready to serve. Store it in air tight container.

Note:

* These ladoo's stay fresh for 15 days outside.

* As dates contains moisture, its better to prepare these ladoo's freshly in batches. 

* As I won't get much time with baby to prepare ladoo's in batches, what I do is other than dates I coarsely grind other ingredients and store it in airtight container and keep it in refrigerator. Whenever I want I will grind by adding dates.

Khamang kakdi || Kakdi chi koshimbir || Maharashtrian cucumber salad

 Khamang kakdi is Maharashtrian cucumber salad also known as kakdi chi koshimbir. In Marathi Kakdi means cucumber, this cucumber salad is very tasty, creamy, crunchy and easy to prepare salad which goes well with any special rice item or roti's. I just love to have this salad as it is. Lentil based cucumber salad  and this khamang kakdi are two different cucumber salad recipes to try. We can prepare this salad in two different ways by adding lemon or by adding fresh hung curd. Today I'm using curd to prepare my salad as I like creamy salads a lot. If u want you can replace curd with lemon juice as per your choice. Crunchy taste of crushed peanuts, sweet and nutty taste of scrapped coconut gives superb taste to salad. Before starting our recipe do check some salad recipes from my youtube channel and blog..

Poornam bobbatlu || Pooranam holigalu || puran poli || Poornam bakshalu

Poornam holigalu || Poornam bakshalu || Puran poli with pics and tips. Happy Diwali - 2021 to all friends and family 🎆🎇Poornam bakshalu is Indian flatbread prepared by using different stuffings. Puran poli is also popularly known as bobbatlu or bakshalu in Telugu, holige in Kannada and poli in Tamil. This is one of the main sweet recipe prepared on special occasions in South India. Mainly in my home town Adoni it is prepared on special occasions like Ganesh festival, Vara Lakshmi pooja,Diwali, Lakshmamavayya jathara, functions like marriages, naming ceremony etc.., We can prepare different varieties of poli like puran poli, coconut poli, vegetable poli, karam poli, sooji poli. In all these Puran poli is very popularly, which is prepared by using sweet dal stuffing called as poornam in Telugu. We can prepare dough using all purpose flour or wheat flour or chiroti rava. Today I am using chiroti rava to prepare dough instead of maida. Let's start recipe..

3) Now add 1/4 cup of oil and knead it well till dough absorbs oil, later add remaining oil and rest it for 2 to 4 hrs by closing lid.  

 

 Stuffing/ poornam preparation 

1) Wash & soak both toor dal and chana dal in enough water for 1 hr.

2) Now take dal in pressure cooker and add 4 cups of water(for 2 cups of dal add 4 cups of water )  and pressure cook it for 2 whistles.

3) Now press the above with your fingers all the corner and give it round shape as shown.

4) Take the above prepared poli cover in one hand and reverse it on our hand and then spread it on hot tawa. If you are using butter paper or banana leaf then directly place it on tawa leave it for a second and then remove banana leaf. 

5) Add ghee on and around poli and fry it for few seconds, later turn it other side and fry till it changes color both sides.

6) Puran poli is ready, take it into plate. Repeat the same process for remaining, serve it hot by adding lots of ghee on it 😋😍.

** you can also use either toor dal or chana dal.

** Make sure that puran or poornam is thick.

**Inorder to get delicious bobbatlu use ghee to fry poli.
