Semiya Kesari – Vermicelli Kesari

September 22, 2014 Navaratri Special, Sweets/Desserts  7 comments

Kesari is a delicious Indian sweet made with rava/sooji or semiya/vermicelli. This Semiya Kesari is a very easy and quick sweet. I usually make this when we have sudden sweet cravings. Not much ghee is required unlike the other sweets. This comes to the rescue when u have unexpected guests as this can be made with the regularly available ingredients in your pantry. Kids would love it too.

Peanuts are very healthy. This Peanut Sundal is yet another easy sundal variety for Navratri, with a dash of amchur which is nothng but dry mango powder. Thenga, Manga, Pattani sundal is a very famous sundal that is sold in Chennai beaches. I simply love it and wanted that taste, but unfortunately could not grab a mango. So used mango powder. U can serve this is an evening snack. This protein rich sundal can be given to kids as well.. Although I am not a big fan of peanuts, I like this crunchy, tangy Peanut Sundal. Likewise try my Green Gram Sweet Sundal.

Karamani Sweet Sundal – Navaratri Recipes

October 5, 2013 Navaratri Special  No comments

As Navaratri has started wanted to begin with a sundal variety. Navarati is a festival dedicated to the worship of the Hindu deity Durga. Sundal is an ideal dish during Navaratri. This Karamani Sweet Sundal is an easy sundal variety made with Karamani. Other names are Lobia or Black eyed peas.  U can serve this as a snack too rather than just during navaratri days. While most of my sundal varieites would be salted/spicy versions this sweet one is my favourite. Do try my Peanut Sundal as well which is yet another protein-rich sundal. 

Now to the recipe
