What is cooking tonight?

[Madhuri]

I will be making

Chana dal with lauki and chapati



The green vegetable is lauki and chana dal is a type of pulse.

Today is a holiday, and I am in the mood of cooking. I just now made Nariyal Ladoo (coconut ladoo). Its a type of dessert.

looks like this :

I have already had several

I had to google Quorn and found that I would have to drive 1.5 hours to get some.

That is interesting; we can get them almost at every major supermarket. Now they have an amazing range as well, which makes my job in the kitchen much easier (not a vegetarian as such but trying to limit our meat in take):

Their "beef" and "lamb" taste amazing!

I think today we will be having one of my all-time favorites: Left overs topped with something easy! Maybe hotpot with rice.

Well, had a change of plan. While I was frying the mince meat to be stored in the freezer, the folks assumed that it was for dinner so demanded pasta with mince meat, followed by strawberries and watermelon.

Nariyal Ladoo

This will make about 25-30 pieces of ladoo.

Ingredients

2 to 2 1/2 cups -- Coconut powder
1 cup -- Khowa (dried whole milk). Its a solid ingredient, not a powder.
1/2 cup -- milk
10 tsp -- Sugar
2-3 pinches -- powdered cardamom

Process

1) Heat a pan (kadhai), and put coconut and sugar in it; stir it on a low flame.

2) Add khowa to the mixture; keep stirring until the ingredients mix, and it looks somewhat cooked. The mixture will turn slight brownish.

3) Add milk and cardamom. The mixture will now look like a paste. Keep on stirring until the milk dries up and the mixture looks sticky and solid.

4) Now, make round ladoos in the palm of your hand.

5) Once done, sprinkle some coconut powder over each ladoo, so it sticks.

Keep in the fridge, and let it cool.

It will look just like the ones in the picture above.

The recipe for Dal will be coming soon.

1 cup -- Khowa (dried whole milk). Its a solid ingredient, not a powder.

Thank you very much, Madhuri. I am not sure if dried milk is available as "solid". I know it comes as powder but I will still check the stores. This recipe reminds me of one of my mother's recipes but it was chocolate balls covered with coconut pieces. I will look this one up too!


As for tonight, I was hoping to plan pasta with tuna but now that I got the main ingredients ready, I cannot find the recipe for it. I know the sauce for tuna involved tomato puree, a little butter and some herbs but that is all I can remember.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
