A virtual treat with Semiya Laddu, Sugar cane, and Ugadi Pacchadi |
The second week of this edition of Blogging Marathon is here and you shall see me blog under three different themes. Festival Food - Quick and Easy Mithai, Vegan Friendly Dishes and Eggless Baking with Fruits and Nuts.
This recipe qualifies under the first category. My sister's mother-in-law is the source of this recipe which is sure to delight your senses. So here is the recipe for the quick and easy sweet for Day 1 week 2 of BM#14.
Ingredients -
Semiya 1/2 cup
Sugar 1/4 cup (plus 2 Tbsp more if preferred)(I used brown sugar)
Cashews, broken 1 Tbsp
Almonds, chopped 2 Tbsp
Ghee/Clarified Butter 1 tsp
Milk 2 tsp
Method Of Preparation -
In a heated wok, add 1/2 tsp of ghee and fry semiya (vermicelli) until golden brown. Remove onto a plate to cool and set aside.
Add a few drops of ghee in the same heated wok/kadai and fry the chopped nuts and set aside.
Powder the roasted semiya, mix in the fried nuts and sugar.
In the same heated wok/kadai, add the remaining ghee and roast the above mixture for a minute.
Remove from fire and sprinkle 2 tsp of milk and mix well. The sugar will start to melt and the mixture will come together as a single mass.
Pinch bite sized mixture and roll into laddus (small balls) when it is safe to handle with your hands.
Set aside for a few minutes to set and is ready to enjoy!
