It was at that movement I realised about this sweet and rich dish. There was no second thought and I just whipped it up and we enjoyed it to the last spoon.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Rava kesari is a sweet made of rava, milk,sugar and ghee. Its very delicious and quite easy to prepare.<br />

5. <br />
6. Rava- 1/2 cup<br />
7. Milk-1 nd 1/2 cup<br />
8. Sugar- 1 cup<br />
9. Ghee-3 tbsp<br />
10. Cardamom powder-a pinch<br />
11. Cashews-2 tbsp<br />
12. Raisins-2 tbsp<br />
13. Orange food color-a pinch(optional)<br />
14. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
15. </div>
16. <br />
17. Method of preparation:<br />
18. 1. Heat a pan on low and add about 1 and 1/2 tbsp of ghee into it.Add the cashews and raisins and fry them till golden brown. Drain and set aside.<br />
19. 2.  Now add the rava into it and roast it till it gives a nice aroma and has light golden color to it.<br />
20. 3. Heat the milk in another pan and once it gets boiled pour it into the rava and give a nice mix. Let the rava get cooked in the milk.<br />
21. 4. Once the rava is cooked add the sugar into it and mix well. This will end up into a runny mixture. Continue cooking and mixing and slowly the mixture starts to thicken.<br />
22. 5. Add the food color(if using) and give a good stir so that it mixes up well.<br />
23. 6. Then add the remaining ghee little at a time and mix to form almost a lump. The mixture shouldn't stick to bottom.<br />
24. 7. Now add the cardamom powder along with fried cashews and raisins and mix. Turn off the heat and serve warm.<br />
25. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

27. <br />
28. Notes:<br />
29. 1. Cook on low flame to reduce the risk of burning milk or kesari.<br />
30. 2. Add sugar only after the rava is cooked completely.<br />
31. 3. You can add any nuts in there, though traditionally its just cashews and raisins.<br />

71. Notes:<br />
72. 1. You can increase the amount of condensed milk and reduce the sugar syrup. This helps the milk to thicken fast and reduces the cooking time.<br />

90.   When Abraham Chacko approached me to write a guest post for his space I was very happy to do it and accepted it without second thought said yes. He had given me enough time and wanted it only by the end of march. As many of you know me..I am the last minute person..No matter how much time I get..ok sometimes I do start early but then there will be something that holds me till the last minute..I guess that is how I am programmed by God..Now I don't want to rewrite it..;)..So here too I started with one recipe and finally ended here after editing the pics and knowing that they were horrible...Guess these are tolerable..:)<br />
91.      As the many other friends I have got in fb, he is one among them. Quite an interesting guy with loads of talent. He has a great collection of recipes and a very cute family with two adorable daughters and an all in all great wife Susan..:). <a href="http://chackoskitchen.com/">Chacko's Kitchen</a> is the place where you find their effort..If you have never been there do visit it..<br />
92.     Here is the small treat that I have prepared for them from <a href="http://www.oprah.com/food/Cocoa-Brownies-with-Walnuts-and-Brown-Butter-Recipe">here</a>...This is a perfect fudgy brownie with a crunch of nuts perfect to have with milk. Here instead of butter, brown butter is used and it does taste great. Mixing and making them is quite easy though do not over bake them. Do visit <a href="http://chackoskitchen.com/2013/03/perfect-fudge-brownie/">here</a> for the recipe..:)<br />

110. I have been saying that feb was a terrible month for me..now why is never told...so here it is...<br />
111.    The month begins with a busy schedule for hubby..which in turn means..early to office and late to home...That is its just me and son through out the day and sometimes night which kept me busy than my husband...:)Those days went on for a week and then hubby gets a dental surgery and a liquid diet for 5 days....Now i should say sick men are worst than small kids..;) To put it in single work I was totally messed up..with a son overactive, a hubby drowsy with medicines and awake with pain..cooking and rest of my routine..<br />
112. Then comes the carpet changing day of the whole house...Luckily divided to 2 days..Now u got to imagine... Me and son in a room with all stuffs...Terrible!!!!<br />
113. Now this very special Valentines day was in between this... I had no plans to do anything crazy..but then empty mind is devils workshop..:) Suddenly on 13th around 11 I feel that I need to bake..Started off with <a href="http://www.ovenloveblog.com/fresh-strawberry-cake-with-cream-cheese-swiss-meringue-buttercream/">this</a> cake as I already had a tub of fresh strawberries. Then start the frosting in between all this rush.. Halving the cake gets messed up as the cake slides and it gets cut slant.The layers get messed up...:) Then when i did the strawberry frosting I felt that it was less and decide to frost the layers with whipped cream...That was another disaster. As I used too much whipped cream the cake started to slip..Now there was a plus point ..the cake was not too sweet.. Then frosting I had a different plan..Anyways that dint work as I thought and then I went with this rose and chocolate bark idea.. Now if I would say this cake can also be mentioned as a disaster cake...:)<br />
114. Texture and taste wise the cake and frosting is excellent...Its only my mistakes that made the cake a disaster..But then its  for my husband and kid who don't see how it is...For them it is only the taste that matters...And I got a thumbs up for that...That makes a happy me...:)<br />

189. When  Sreevalli of <a href="http://ammajirecipes.blogspot.com/">Ammaji Recipes</a> asked me for a guest post some time back,  I was totally hooked up with multiple jobs.. but before i could tell a list of tasks in front of me she told that I can chose a later date, for which I accepted..I totally left it there and was moving around when around the corner I remembered about the guest post. Now cooking was fine but clicking it was very difficult..Finally when I saw a little sunshine I went with this simple but a traditional recipe of Kerala.<br />

192.     <br />
193.  Ada is a sweet delicacy from Kerala.These are steamed  rice pockets filled with sweet coconut filling.  It is know as ela ada because of the way it is made. Usually plantain leafs are used to cook them, but due to the unavailability of them here I have experimented with parchment paper and its a success. They are enjoyed as snack/sweet during evenings with tea as well as can act as breakfast if you have a sweet tooth in the morning.<br />

323. Diwali is a day of lights and sweets for me...As a kid has always enjoyed it by exchanging sweets with our neighbors ..lighting the diya at dusk and bursting fire crackers... As I grew up things changed..we shifted to Kerala...and diwali was no more fun with tons of sweets from neighbors or with crackers...Though we still lighted diya...Dad used to get the sweet boxes from stores which we used to expect north Indian sweets but sadly everything used to be the normal Kerala sweets with small pieces of halwas and regular stuffs...soon we got bored with it...Though after coming to US we really miss those boxes too...This time I decided to prepare some stuffs for my son and hubby to enjoy...<br />
324. Happy Diwali to all my friends and readers...:)<br />

357. <br />
358. <br />
359. Method of Preparation:<br />
360. 1. Sieve besan in a bowl, add color to it and mix with water.The dough should be thick with a dripping consistency.<br />
361. 2. In a pan add sugar, water and cardamom seeds and bring it to half string consistency.Turn off heat.<br />
362. 3. Heat oil in a wok on medium heat and when hot pour two spoons of dough on a <a href="http://www.sourcingmap.com/blue-black-plastic-handle-stainless-steel-perforated-spoon-skimmer-p-242910.html">perforated</a> ladle. Using a tsp tap the ladle so that the dough drips from the holes.See that the difference between the hot oil and ladle is between 1 to 2 inches.<br />
363. 4. Initially you will hear a shhhh sound which starts to fade slowly. When the sound has become feeble remove the boondis from wok and drain on paper towel.<br />
364. 5. Add it to the sugar syrup after 1 to 2 mins.Let it soak there.<br />
365. 6. Now remove all the dough from the perforated ladle completely(wipe off) and continue the process.<br />
366. 7. Heat ghee in a wok and fry the raisins and cashews in it.Drain and set aside.<br />
367. 8. Now once evrything is added to sugar syrup mix it well. Take about 1/2 of the bondi in a mixer and pulse it once or twice.<br />
368. 9. Add this back to the pan with whole boondis,cashews and raisins and give a good stir<br />
369. 10. When the boondi is warm and can be handled by hand, grease hands with ghee. Take little of the boondi and press it slightly to form round shape.<br />
370. 11. Set it aside on plate.Continue the process.<br />
371. 12. Once shaped let them cool completely, and then store in air tight box.<br />

381. <br />
382. Notes:<br />
383. 1. The thickness of batter is very important. Too thin the batter will flow from the perforation resulting in thin threads instaed of boondi and too thick it wont drop from holes.<br />
384. 2. The distance between the oil and ladle should not be more. It will result in tails in the bhoondi.<br />
385. 3. Do not fry boondis till it is crisp..That is till whole shhh sound stops.It will turn boondi crispy which will not absorb sugar syrup..resulting in crispy ladoos instead of soft ones.<br />
386. 4. The oil should be properly hot.Too low heat will result in rubbery boondis and too hot will result in crispy/burned ones. If heat of oil increases reduce to low and then back to medium while starting the next batch.<br />
387. 5. The sugar syrup should be half thread consistency. ie a drop of sugar  on ur thumb and pressed with ur index finger should stretch half way and break. If sugar syrup reaches one thread consistency then add a little water and get it to half thread. Its very important to get it right else sugar will crystallize resulting in hard ladoos.<br />
388. 6. If the boondi mixture cools off while making ladoos it wont hold round shape. In that case slightly heat the mixture.<br />
389. 7. Initially rolled ladoos will be slightly moist...It will be fine once cooled.<br />
390. 8. While pulsing the boondi mixture do it very carefully. You should not end with a paste. It should just be little crushed.<br />
391. 9. Instead of adding raisins and cashews with mix you can decorate with one on each ladoo.<br />
392. 10. Cooking camphor should be used very little...It has very bold smell and using more of it will result in intolerable smell.Add little by little.<br />
393. 11. Perforated ladle should be wiped after each use. else it will leave tails in boondi.<br />
394. 12. While making boondi do move the ladle to avoid forming lumps.<br />
395. 13. I have used a little green color to get green boondis. In such case take about 1 to 2 tbsp of batter before adding color and then add the desired color.<br />

426. Method of Preparation:<br />
427. 1. Pulse the grated coconut twice to break it into small bits.<br />
428. 2. Fry the cashew and raisins in ghee and set aside.<br />
429. 3. Heat rava in a pan on medium low heat. Do stir the rava to avoid from burning.Once it turns light golden and nice aroma is filled in room turn of the heat.<br />
430. 4. Now mix all ingredients with rava along with slightly crushed cardamom and ghee.Take little mixture in hand and apply force with hand and roll it to lemon sized/smaller balls.<br />
431. 5. Set aside on plate. Continue the process for the whole mixture.Serve immediately or keep in a airtight jar. Stays well for 2 to 3 days since coconut is used.<br />

440. <br />
441. Notes:<br />
442. 1. If you find it difficult to roll add little more ghee to the mixture.<br />
443. 2. You can also use little milk to roll it. In that case shelf life will be small.<br />
444. 3. Adding coconut decreases the shelf life.<br />
445. 4. You can avopid coconut on the whole and make ladoo with rava, ghee and nuts too.<br />
446. 5. Add sugar according to your preference. The amount here is for medium sweetness.<br />
447. 6. I used fine rava and super fine sugar. If using thicker version after roasting give the rava a quick pulse to make it fine.<br />
448. 7. Same with sugar. Pulse it if its big crystals.<br />
449. 8. Making it round with just ghee is a bit tough.You need to apply force(not too much) to set it.<br />
450. 9. Addition of ghee can be done to make round balls.<br />

466. Do you believe in Good time and Bad time..hmmm I can hear some Yes and some Noooo...For me it was a Nooo until now...but boy was I wrong there...<br />
467. These days Time has made me believe that its not "only Time" but its "Good time" and "Bad time"...and I am pretty sure that its bad time running for me.<br />
468. Oh it all started 2 weeks back...A Wednesday night..My dear husband thought that it was perfect time to clean the not so problamatic drain with a chemical...so he took the unopened chemical and started to open the package...Poor me who was sitting on the couch...head buried in the laptop..took a glance thinking what on earth are you doing?...felt bad for he doing it alone and went to help...ok we pulled the chemical package with both hands..and thud and ahhhhh...that 3 liter bottle fell on my leg...Finally hus kept the bottle and was near me who was half scolding and half crying..and yes its not yet used..:)<br />
469. Next day<br />
470. Cooking got over pretty fast...thought about making a salad..Went to chop cucumbers..Started off with knife..then realized about taking pics and posting in blog...so thought a mandolin was perfect for this task(perfect shape for perfect picture)...started off and to my surprise sliced a part of thumb.. For a second felt that blood from whole body would drain...Anyways that din't happen..was left with a wounded thumb and loads of medicines and pain..<br />
471. Finally today...<br />
472. The thumb looks fine...kind of dried with slight pain..started off with my cooking...and tada next event...yup..Its a burn this time...Was frying some snack and oil burst to face...Got some decent marks and yes pain too...hopefully will remain for a year or two.:( Now how on earth will I not believe in "Bad Time"...<br />
473. Hey today's recipe has nothing to do with time...Though it is something for which you really dont need any time...<br />

535. Cashew-few<br />

537. <br />
538. Method Of Preparation:<br />
539. 1. Heat ghee in a thick bottomed vessel.Fry the cashews in it.Drain and keep aside.<br />
540. 2. Now add the grated beetroot to the ghee and fry it for 3 to 4 mix, stir continuously.<br />

542. 4. After that add the sugar and mix well.Cook till it becomes shiny and starts to seperate from sides.Turn of the heat when it is little soft as halwa tends to thicken when it cools.<br />

548. 1. Add more sugar if needed.<br />
549. 2. Milk can be added more which gives the halwa a lighter color.<br />
550. 3. Do not cook till it becomes dry as they turn hard on cooling. In that case end result may not be halwa.<br />
551. 4. I cooked it just as carrot halwa with less milk.<br />
552. 5. A very tiny bit of cooking camphor can be added at the final cooking stage to give added flavor.<br />

683. Last week was a tough time for me... I had my dental visits as result of slight tooth ache.. and to my horror the doctor was behind my wisdom teeth..After a long talk the doctor told me to come for the wisdom  teeth extraction...My hubby dear...being very kind to me took the nearest extraction date...I tried all the tricks to keep teeth in position and to avoid any injections...but those failed :(..My main prob was injection...not the tooth extraction..;),...ya true...I fear injections at this age too...Anyways reached back that day...checked with everyone about the pain of teeth extraction and everyone lied to me saying it takes just a min after injection...which I came to know later.<br />
684. <br />
685. Anyways I went on the appointed date and as always pulled my hubby to the extraction room to wait there till the injection was given to me..Oh my... I think the doctors should change the syring size...My doc came with a huge syring...like something that is used on cow...seeing that itself my BP increased...anyway I can't cry like a kid...so closed my eyes with mouth wide open and he gave me a prick...Thats over..He left me for 15 mins...Now I was brave...so asked my hubby to go...My biggest mistake :(<br />
686. <br />
687. After 15 min the doc came..he asked me if I felt the lip as thick...I told ya....but..I can feel the teeth and gum....doc said  hmmm...<br />
688. Now he came with another syring...a bit smaller than the earlier one..Oh no...I regretted for sending my hubby back...anyways he pricked and started his work...Now I was waiting for the 1 min when he would remove my teeth...He started off with a hammer kind of stuff..hit my teeth...off and on...went on trying all his tools with all his energy for approx 3 min to 5 min....Each time he pulls...I was expecting my teeth in his hands...but no :(..and to make matters worst he was saying everything he was doing...which slowly died off.. <br />
689. After some time..the doc felt that the tools he brought was not sufficient to remove my teeth...so he ordered the assistant tro get something...He explained me that there will be a loud sound...I just felt to run from that place...Anyways he put that new tool into my mouth and drilled..or I felt so...What would ul expect after that...theeth came out...isnt it...I did that..<br />
690. But you should never expect.. He after drilling for some tim,e..kept that tool and started using his previous stuffs again...Again the process of pull ..push..... went for 3 min approx and finally...ufff...he got my teeth...Noooo thats not the end..<br />
691. He went and brought another injection...and gave that...Now I had lost all hopes of getting up from that chair..so I was sitting there waiting for next stuff..when the assistant told...You are good to go...<br />
692. <br />
693. Now I was so happy to come out and meet my hubby to say a big thanks to him for showing me this very beautiful day...that I left the medical prescription..ya which they brought and gave...<br />
694. Now before I could reach home it started paining...and you know what...now the medicines are over and today when I type this also my pain is there...intact...So sceduled a visit today...:( I wished badly that I never meet him again...but no luck..<br />
695. <br />
696. This is how my last two/one and half week was...<br />
697. <br />
698. Now to the recipe...I always try to participate in some contest that is hosted by my friends...but always I end up unsuccessful...I cook the recipe but dont blog about it and by the time I blog the same place will have another contest...This has been happening for a long time....hopping to change that atleast this time...<br />
699. Made this peda/sweet  with ricotta cheese...which is very delicious...do give a try<br />

765. As for me..I was at home this weekend taking so called rest..Yes..my hubby was kind enough to give me some rest and take care of the kid...eventually(and obviously) ended up  taking care of papa, son and house..:)An advantage was I dint cook...<br />
766. Ok now why I am missing from blogging....As I said my son completed 1 year, he has become more interactive and I am totally enjoying moving around with him but with all these his mischief too has got doubled...I now always think the wordings 'boys are boys' and manage myself....His small pranks ..as told by his grandparents are..Climbing the sofa and trying to bend down from there..Throwing things out of the balcony...Turning the gas buttons..playing with food and drinks..All these are extras, along with  his all time mischief like working as an engineer, electrician , plumber still exists...:) So you all can imagine my situation...I am literally flying behind him..with cooking while he is asleep...which is just 30 min...:(<br />
767. More over when ever I sit in front of system...his toys come flying on the keyboard and monitor...as they are on the table and he cant touch them...If after that mama doesn't get up from chair then he uses his weapons...teeth to bite the areas he can  access..:) So finally mama goes with him...seeing mama sitting simply he comes to me and gives me one of his toys and then resumes his play...so until papa comes mama is busy playing with him without even allowed to get up from the place where he has placed me...ya toys are changed by him frequently, seeing that mama is not bored with same toy..:)..So even though I am cooking regularly I am not able to write it and post...as I am not allowed to sit in front of system/read books for more than 5 mins..so I am not visiting your space regularly...sorry that's the only thing that I can say...Infact if time could be borrowed I would definitely do that to manage the stuffs...One more request...all moms there...do suggest me some methods to reduce kids dangerous pranks...like sofa climbing :). Now to the recipe..<br />

771. Rasagulla is a sweet which I never liked when I ate it first time, Rubbery texture...and extreme sweetness..I was sure that this was not for me...Then after years I met my man....A lunch in the hotel...a dessert....I was all set to tell gulab jammun and the man next to me...'2 cups of rasgulla' to the waiter and turning towards me with a smile..."Thats my all time fav sweet..." he he he...I smiled thinking the law.."Unlike poles attract":)...Yes now my likes and dislikes have all changed to an extend...and I had tried this out many times at home using pressure cooker..with ok results...This time I tried using a vessel with lid and that was really good...many bloggers have done this and after searching long time..went with this process and am glad that I did.So here is the recipe..<br />

778. <br />
779. Milk-2 cups<br />
780. Lemon juice - 1 tbsp<br />
781. Water-1 1/2 cups<br />
782. Sugar-3/4 cup<br />
783. Cardamom-2 no<br />
784. <br />
785. Method Of Preparation:<br />
786. 1. Heat milk in a pan and bring it to boil, then add lemon juice and stir properly till milk curdles completely.<br />
787. 2. Take a muslin cloth and pour the curdled milk,collect the paneer by squeezing any whey water from it.<br />
788. 3. Wash the collected paneer properly under cold water to remove the lemon flavor from it. Squeeze the maximum amount of  water from it.<br />
789. 4. The paneer will be crumbly in texture. Knead it well for sometime to form a smooth dough. From that dough make small balls(I made cherry sized balls) and keep aside.<br />
790. 5. Heat water in a wide vessel,add sugar and cardamom pods,let sugar dissolve and then bring it to boil. Then add the balls slowly and simmer it for 3 mins. Then cook it on medium heat for 10min with a lid on vessel.After 10mins see if the balls have doubled in size.If yes its done, else place the lid back and continue cooking for some more time.(For me it got doubled in 10 mins).<br />
791. 6. Cool it and serve.<br />

Instead of grating apple you can also cut them to small pieces and pulse them with milk in mixer.Pulse for few seconds only,so that you don&#39;t make a juice of it.If doing this use the milk from that 1 cup only.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/feeds/5985919401241563610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/03/abc-halwaapple-bannana-carrot-halwa-for.html#comment-form' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/5985919401241563610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6892746283322995228/posts/default/5985919401241563610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funwidfud.blogspot.com/2011/03/abc-halwaapple-bannana-carrot-halwa-for.html' title='ABC Halwa(Apple-Bannana-Carrot Halwa) for one pearl :)'/><author><name>Reshmi Mahesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04031922006327162890</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtORm-D2v3TMTH0Z4GPnXxjHskikLFM8vrYcOcoR1s6XIrsDhiODIQsdWOKT_J_-pq_E_kM5JYNS8qg5n1uozhmGqSalYISxwOI2AaX3PvEuskCS4GcBtHoD0RhKX0EQ/s220/IMG_1253.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FXYX1y_0V_Y/TW_0twAvryI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/4WhvxPks9XE/s72-c/ish.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892746283322995228.post-1278857158437129997</id><published>2011-02-14T10:07:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-14T15:10:03.328-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dessert"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sweets"/><title type='text'>Chocolate Pudding</title><content type='html'>Happy Valentine&#39;s Day to every one....&lt;br /&gt;

986. Yellow/orange color-1 to 2 drops<br />
987. Oil to fry<br />
988. <em><br /></em>
989. <em>For syrup:</em><br />
990. sugar-1 cup <br />
991. water-1 cup <br />
992. cardamom powder-pinch<br />
993. lemon juice-1 tsp <br />
994. Few strands of saffron.<br />
995. <br />
996. Method Of Preparation:<br />
997. <ol>
998. <li>Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about five minutes.</li>
999. <li>Mix the all purpose flour, gram flour (besan), corn flour,yogurt, oil(1/2 tsp), and color together.</li>
1000. <li>Add the yeast solution to flour and mix well,along with yogurt and water making sure that there are no lumps </li>
1001. <li>Set the batter aside in a warm place for one hour.By then the batter gets fermented. </li>
1002. <li>In a pan boil  sugar and water for 15 to 18 mins to form sticky syrup. Add the lemon juice,cardamom powder and saffron and keep on low heat.</li>
1003. <li>After one to 1 and 1/2 hour the batter will get fermented,so now we can make the jalebi's. For that heat the oil in a wok.The heat should be medium hot and once at that point reduce it to medium low.</li>
1004. <li>Fill the Jalebi batter into a piping bag/ketchup bottle . </li>
1005. <li>Squeeze the Jalebi batter out in the hot oil in spiral shape</li>
1006. <li>Fry the Jalebi's crispy for few minutes on both sides.</li>
1007. <li>Transfer into the syrup.</li>
1008. <li>Let jalebi soak in the warm syrup for a few seconds and take out.</li>
1009. </ol>

1012.  Notes:<br />
1013. 1.After fermenting batter will be smooth.The batter should have medium thickness,else jalebi's would become too thin and crispy.<br />
1014. 2.Don't soak the jalebi's for more time.That makes them too soft by absorbing too much of syrup.<br />

1028. <li>Drain the whey using a muslin cloth.</li>
1029. <li>Rinse  it under cold water(to remove the sourness from lemon), and squeeze well, so that no water content remains in paneer. </li>
1030. <li>Break the paneer to powder.</li>
1031. </ol>To make Kalakand:<br />
1032. <ol><li>Boil remaining 5 cup of the milk in a heavy bottom pan on medium high heat until the milk reduces to about two cups.Make sure to frequently stir else  milk burns at bottom of the pan.</li>
1033. <li>Add the paneer in the milk and keep stirring till the mixture thickens and forms a soft dough consistency.</li>
1034. <li>Add the sugar and continue to cook stirring until the mixture becomes soft lump and starts leaving the pan from sides.</li>
1035. <li>Pour it over greased plate with about half inch thickness.</li>

1099. <span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5.Heat the oil in a pan and drop the balls into oil once it is sufficient hot.When the ball rises turn it </span>continuously<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to form a evenly browned balls.</span></span><br />
1100. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">6. When the balls turn light brown from all sides it is time to remove it from flame.</span><br />
1101. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
1102. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">To make syrup(do simultaneously):</span><br />
1103. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">1.Heat the water,Cardamon pods and sugar in a pan till the sugar melts.</span><br />
1104. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">2. If adding rose water then remove the sugar syrup from flame and then add rose water.</span><br />
1105. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">3. After the syrup becomes warm, we can add the balls into it.</span><br />
1106. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">4. It is good to serve at room temperature or after cooling overnight.</span><br />
1107. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

1112. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Notes:
1113. <span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />
1114. <span style="font-family: inherit;">1. While making the dough there should be enough of liquid. The dough will be sticky.After resting it will get better to handle.</span><br />
1115. <span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Grease hands before making balls.</span><br />
1116. <span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Do try to make balls with smooth surface as cracks will break while frying as well as soaking.</span><br />
1117. <span style="font-family: inherit;">4. If the surface doesn,t turn soft use little ghee and milk to </span>knead<span style="font-family: inherit;"> again.</span><br />
1118. <span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Fry by checking the temperature of oil. Add a small puece of dough into oil and that should stay at bottom for a small time and then rise to top(float). This ensures that the inner of jamuns get cooked, else the outer will turn brown fast and inner will be hard even after cooking, a result of not being cooked.</span><br />
1119. <span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Do not knead the dough by applying lot of pressure..be soft.</span><br />
1120. <span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Soak the jamuns when the sugar syrup is warm.</span><br />
1121. <span style="font-family: inherit;">8. Make small balls as jamuns will bulge while frying as well as soaking.</span><br />
1122. <span style="font-family: inherit;">9. Most of all wait till it is completely soaked in syrup..atleast 3 hrs to 5 hrs.</span><br />
