Jangri Recipe | Mini Jangri | How to make Jangri | Diwali Special Recipe

I never thought that I would make Jangri at home and the blogging journey is pushing me out of my comfort zone to explore more recipes. Last year I made Boondhi Ladoo and Tirunelveli Halwa, and I was jumping in joy when I achieved the perfect outcome. This year I was planning for Jangri and I tried it this Friday. It tasted so yummy; however, I was not satisfied with the shape and size. I made a big hole in the piping bag and the Jangri was very big than I expected. Also, I was struggling to take a decent photo and the output was not up to my satisfaction. So, today I made it again and I am really happy about the result. Do check out my other Diwali Collections too. Let's move to the recipe:

Coconut Ladoo Recipe | Coconut Ladoo with Condensed Milk | Diwali Special Recipe

If you are looking for some simple and easy sweet recipe for this Diwali, then this ladoo is a perfect choice. You can make it in bulk as it is not time-consuming. For the mentioned quantity in the recipe, it just took me 15 mins to make and I got around 16 ladoos. Even the beginner in cooking will not fail with this recipe as it does not involve any consistency checking. Yesterday, after sending Happy to school, I made this ladoo and clicked it. When Jany came for lunch, I gave him one ladoo and he liked it very much. He took the remaining ladoos to his office friends and they too loved it. Do check out my Diwali sweets and snacks collection for more exciting Ladoos and sweets. Off to the recipe:

Boondi Ladoo Recipe | Boondi Laddu | Diwali Special Sweet

I am super excited to share you all this very famous and delicious sweet which can be prepared for any occasion. I love boondi ladoo very much and I cannot restrict myself with one ladoo. So, I avoid to buy it frequently and when I crave for it, I ask dad to buy it from Nagercoil Cake world or Greatest bakery which are my favorite bakeries.

Making Boondi ladoo at home was really a big project for me. I am very much confident in making the boondi's after trying Motichoor ladoo, Kara Boondhi and South Indian Mixture. Hence, during last Diwali, I tried this and it was an utter flop because of the sugar syrup. However, I wanted to try it again and searched few websites for making perfect sugar syrup with correct sugar quantity. I adapted the recipe from here and it turned out too good. Though I was not able to make perfect round ladoo's, the taste was awesome. I am very much satisfied and here I am with the recipe.

To make Happy try a new dish is really tough for me and if it is a sweet, then she will immediately say 'No'. She had not tasted ladoos before and I really wanted her to try atleast one ladoo. I was even searching some rhymes (silly me!!) about ladoo to tempt her and a tamil rhyme 'vattamana ladoo' came to my rescue :) Finally, she tried one ladoo and liked it. Hopefully, she will have one tomorrow too :) Jany was teasing about my marketing strategy, but I am very happy that they liked it. Check out my entire diwali collection. Let us move on to the recipe:

Butter Murukku Recipe | Easy Butter Murukku Recipe | Diwali Special Snacks

When I was browsing my Diwali Recipe Collection, I found out that I have very limited murukku recipes. Hence, I thought of trying few more murukku's this year. A few years back when I was in Chennai, my neighbour gave me this Butter murukku during Diwali along with few other snacks. Jany and I loved it so much because it was very crispy and at the same time it had the 'melt in the mouth texture'. The very next day I asked the aunty about the recipe and she gave it to me. However, I misplaced it and couldn't find it until now. So, I googled it and adapted the recipe from here. Jany and Happy, though they were not showing any interest for the sweet dishes, finished the entire murukku on the same day :) Next day, I had to make another murukku (will be posting it soon) after seeing their interest. Do try the recipe at home and share the feedback. Check out my Coconut Murukku, Mullu Murukku, Pottukadali Murukku and Thenkuzhal Murukku. Off to the recipe:

Badam Halwa Recipe | Almond Halwa | 200th Post celebration Recipe | My 200th Post

Ganesh Chaturthi wishes to all my readers and friends! As we celebrate this auspicious day, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support.

Reflecting on the journey that began in 2013, I am humbled by the unexpected growth. It wouldn't have been possible without the constant encouragement from my family, friends, and dedicated readers.

This milestone feels like a profound blessing, and I owe much of it to the inspiration drawn from my dear mom, who has been the driving force behind this blog. To commemorate this special occasion, I am thrilled to present a recipe that embodies richness and divinity – the delectable Badam Halwa. Made with pureed almonds, saffron, sugar, and ghee, this dessert promises to elevate your celebration. Join me as we delve into the detailed preparation steps:

Ribbon Pakkoda / Ribbon Murukku / Ola Pakkoda / Nada Thenkuzhal | Diwali Special Recipe

Finally I am posting in the Day one of new month with many resolutions in mind :). This post was composed last week during diwali because of internet issues I couldn't post it. Jany prefers to have crispy savoury snacks than sweets or desserts. Whenever I make sweets he tastes it, but asks for something spicy and crispy. So, I made this ribbon pakkoda in a jiffy without much preparation. It came out really well and he enjoyed for the evening coffee. Here, we go for the recipe:

Thirattipal Recipe|Easy Palkova using Condensed milk| Diwali Special Recipe

Thirattipal or Palkova is my favourite dessert right from childhood. I had one unused condensed milk tin in my fridge for a long time and thought of making thirattipal using it. The preparation is very simple when compared to the traditional palkova with milk. I have prepared this in the stovetop, however, you can prepare this in the microwave oven too (check the notes section). Kids will love this yummy palkova.
