Kodri Rice |
|
Years ago people found many edible plants and seeds that grow in adverse conditions, and which form part of their diet. In several other countries these grasses and plants are mowed down and destroyed as weeds. One of them is Samo Rice which has different names in India like Variche Tandul, Bhagar and Kodri. Samo rice is quite delicious which is specially made for fasting. Even though you do not go for fasting just try it for a change instead of rice. |

Besan Laddo |
|
Ingredients |
|
|
|
180ml ghee |
|
|
185g besan |
|
|
35g desiccated coconut (optional) |
|
|
3 tablespoons ground almonds |
|
|
100g caster sugar |
|
|
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preparation method |
|
|
|
Prep: 25 mins |Cook: 10 mins | Extra time: 2 hours |
|
|
|
|
|
Heat the ghee in a kadhai over low heat. Stir in the besan and cook over low heat until it is toasted and the mixture smells fragrant, about 10 minutes. The mixture should be pasty, not powdery. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the mixture from the heat and cool slightly until it is warm, not hot. Grind the coconut, if using, until fine. Add the ground almonds, sugar, ground coconut and ground cardamom to the kadhai and mix thoroughly. |
|
|
|
|
|
While the mixture is warm, shape it into round balls that are about the size of walnuts. Store the ladoos in an airtight container and let them sit for 2 to 3 hours to cool completely. They can be eaten immediately, but taste better after several hours. |
