Badam Cashew Burfi or Katli whatever u call it is an exotic sweet that calls for very less ghee. To be precise just a teaspoon or two. This Badam Cashew Burfi is a simple one, meaning NO SUGAR SYRUP CONSISTENCY is required making it doable even for beginners. Can be made in just 20 mins so not much kitchen time during this busy festival season. How easy is that?! I have already posted a similar recipe of Kaju Katli but with 1 string consistency.

Apple Halwa – Yes! This was in my to do list since a long time. But did not get a chance to make it. Last week had a pooja at home. Was left over with a lot of apples. Was really wondering what to make and suddenly remembered this. So made this super-yummy Apple Halwa. Alright! A few tips to select apples for this halwa. Make sure the apples are juicy and sweet. Green Apples would definitely not work for this halwa. If at all u end up buying some sour/tart apples, try this Apple Thokku then 🙂 Hehe U have an option to pick between sweet or spicy!

Bread Halwa is a such a simple sweet to make for sudden cravings or surprise guests. I had a few bread slices that was about to get stale. So made this quick halwa and it tasted just yumm! Nobody at home was able to find out that this was made out of bread. The best part is that all the ingredients needed for this halwa will usually be able in your pantry. No fancy ingredients needed. My favourite halwa is Potato Halwa. But unlike that halwa this can be made in just 20 mins. Recipe with video… 🙂

Kara Sev is an Indian snack made with besan/chickpea flour. It is a crunchy,easy to make snack. Perfect for special occasions like Diwali or even as a tea time snack.

Savoury snacks are always a favourite at home. It just vanishes very soon. So do not have to wait for a special occasion to make it. Recipe with video.
