Things Required:

• 4cups whole milk(FCM)
• 2tsp.curd
• 2tsp.ghee
• 2tsp.roasted or powdered nuts(cashews, almonds or pistachios)
• 3/cup sugar

Method:

• Boil the milk, one it gets to rolling boiling add curd and boil, it starts to cuddle.
• remove half of the water and add sugar, ghee and continue to cook, stir in between to avoid sticking at the bottom.
• remove from the flame once it is little watery because it gets hard after cooling.
• garnish with nuts and serve.

Note:

• If you want to get it in shapes, cook it til the water is totally dried, even you can get the light rust color.(I cooked it till I got the rust color).

Methi Gobi

It was so boring to cook regular Gobi, so decided to go for Methi Gobi inspired by Aloo Methi, this saucy gravy suites perfect to all Indian breads.

Required Things:

1Gobi Flower(cut to bite size pieces), 3 bunches Methi(cleaned, chopped), 1/4cup green peas, 1Onion(roughly chopped), 2Tomatoes(diced), 1/2tsp.Red chili Powder, 1/2tsp.coriander powder, 1/8tsp.Turmeric powder, 1/2tsp.garam masala/chicken masala, Salt to taste, 2tsp.Oil, 1/4tsp.jeera, 1tsp.Cream(optional).

Preparation:

• Heat oil in a pan, add jeera and allow to splutter.
• Add onion and fry till soft.
• Now add methi and fry for few mins.
• Then add tomatoes, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, coriander powder, mix well, cover it with lid and cook for 5mins.
• Now add gobi to it, cover and cook in on medium flame for about 15min. or till gobi is done.
• At last add cream (optional) and serve it with roties.

Note:

For this curry we need not add any water, as we get required water from tomatoes, if you feel it's getting dry add 1/4cup of water at the time of adding Gobi.
