Ghevar With Raspberry Rabri

Ghevar is a very popular Rajasthani dessert which is prepared during festivals like Teej, Rakshabandhan or any other special occasion. Traditionally, this awesome dessert goes really well with milk rabri. In this recipe, I have used rabri with raspberry and mango yogurt which gives it a sweet and sour taste and neutralizes its sweetness.  At first it is a little complicated recipe to prepare however once you get a hang of it, it comes out really well and the effort is worth it. Ghevar is made using all purpose flour batter and deep fried in oil or ghee. Ghevar has a light, lacy and crispy texture. The two very important aspects of making Ghever are batter consistency and oil/ghee temperature. The right batter brings out the lacy texture and oil/ghee temperature helps it to rise and give the right shape and texture. Once ready, it is soaked in sugar syrup before serving. The ghevar can be stored in air tight containers for up to 2 weeks, and just before serving, soak in warm sugar syrup and garnish with raspberry rabdi and mango yogurt. I am so excited to share this recipe as it is my first time making it, and took me couple attempts to get it right.

Dahi Chane Ke Kabab

Kababs are mouthwatering appetizer which everyone loves. There are varieties kababs both veg and non-veg. Dahi (yogurt) chane ke kabab is a delicious appetizer which is so soft that it melts in your mouth. This recipe is made using hung curd, boiled black chana (chickpeas) with flavorful Indian spices. This recipe is very simple & easy to make & slightly different than dahi ke kabab recipe. In the whole process the most time consuming part is preparing hung curd. For this recipe hung curd should be very thick otherwise you will not able to make kabab with good texture. This yummy kabab can be served with date & tamarind or/and coriander-mint chutney. You can pack it as side item for lunch boxes along with some tomato sauce.
