Hello All, Wishing you and your family Happy Sparkling New Year 2017. May the new year be the best you have ever had. Yet, another milestone for Happy's Cook, yes!!, we have crossed 20,000+ Likes in Facebook page. I am really excited about this achievement and special thanks to everyone for the support. Do support me in the future and spread the page among your friends to help me reach more heights. To celebrate the special occasion and the new year, I am here with a sweet recipe. I followed the recipe from Rak's Kitchen and it turned out super awesome. This makkan peda is similar to Gulab Jamun with Khoya and stuffed with fruits, Nuts. It is famous in Arcot, a place in Vellore district of Tamilnadu and hence the name. Do check out my similar recipe of Bread Gulab Jamun and other Sweets too. Off to the recipe:

Coconut Burfi Recipe | Thengai Burfi | Diwali Special Sweet

Happy Diwali to all my readers, friends and their families. Hope everyone is enjoying the festival with a variety of sweets and snacks!! I am very happy about the outcome of all the Diwali recipes I tried this year. Everything turned out super awesome and I am almost tired now. I should take a break from this sweets and snacks until next occasion. To wind up this, I thought of posting an easy and yummy coconut burfi. When I was a kid, mom used to make this for me. She always makes it in pink color by adding a little beetroot juice. I still have mom's handwritten recipe of this, which she got it from a teacher who worked with her. To replicate her burfi, I tried this white and pink double layer burfi. Though Jany doesn't prefer most of the sweets, coconut burfi is one of his childhood favorites. Let us move on to the recipe:

Kasi Halwa Recipe | Poosanikai Halwa | Ash Gourd Halwa(White Pumpkin) | Easy Diwali Sweets

I hate most of the veggies in my childhood. Later on, I started eating some common vegetables and I am unaware of many. So after Happy's birth, Jany and I decided that we should introduce her to almost all the vegetables before she grows up. So every weekend we hunt for different veggies in Kovai Pazhamudir Nilayam. Once I bought this white pumpkin and I don't know what to do with that. Finally, I ended up in googling for "White Pumpkin recipes" and I came across this wonderful dessert. Without any hesitation, I give it a try and it came out really well. Check out my entire Diwali Collection of recipes. Do check out my Corn Flour Halwa, Badam Halwa, Khajoor Ka Halwa too. Here comes the recipe:
