hello all,
thank u manjusha for sharing one more shop with us.
I was just going through my recipe books , yes i am already planning my Diwali menus as i love entertaining and would surely have couple of parties at home so i chanced upon this Low Cal Shahi Tukri (bread pudding sort of)recipe which i am going to share with u.The reason i sharing is also because if u ve unexpected guests , yes we Indians don't really let anyone know we are coming home, we take it for granted that's how its supposed to be.When situations like these arrive and you are in fix then this recipe is great as the ingredients are always at ones home (bread , milk , sugar and some dry fruits). so here it is.....
you will need, 4 slices of bread , 2 1/2 cups of milk, 1/3 cup sugar, 5-6 green cardamon(skinned & crushed),a few strands of kesar dissolved in 1 tbsp water, 150gm paneer(grated finely), 4-5 almonds (cut in thin long pieces), 4-5 pista (cut in thin long pieces), 2 tbsp desi ghee.
1.remove the sides of the crusts and cut each slice in 4 triangles
2.heat 1tbsp ghee in a non stick pan, add the 8 pieces and cook on low heat till they are golden and crisp. add some more ghee and fry the remaining.
3.dip the fried slices in cold milk and remove immediately to a serving platter or individual bowls.
4.heat the remaining milk with sugar and cardamoms ,till it turns thick(10-15mins)
5.add the grated paneer and cook for 1-2 mins till it looks like rabri.remove from fire
6.cool the rabri and pour the cooled rabri over the toasts.
7.sprinkle with shredded almonds and kesar
hain na simple!enjoy

festival time
Hello!
Come Ganapati festival and the festival frenzy starts! Id, Navrtari, Dusshera, Diwali, Christmas and New Years' Phew . Indians have a very festive life and why not .
What is everyone planning ? Shopping on your mind?A very good friend of mine suggested this website where u can shop online , these days thats the smartest thing to do. www.fashionandyou.com
There are other portals too , but I am an old fashion shopper . I will go into the shops see for myself and mind u not just 1 or 2 maybe 7 or 10 shops hmmm and and do i end up buying anything ? ya maybe sometimes ;).
Good ethnic options in Andheri are the Westside, Pantaloons or Lifestyle stores , very affordable and lots of choices , ample opportunities for mix and match .These outlets have accessories so u can complete your look. Mega Mall in Oshiwara has Global Desi (Anita Dongre), my personal favourite , very chic ethnic Kurtas and sets. If you are looking for fusion wear its perfect. You can hire my services if u need to put a look together. Tirumala near manish market is great for material buy, if u have enough patience and time then please do visit this shop .It also has sarees which are pretty. Good old Lokhandwala market is a good option for accessories, shoes, chappals, butvas even jewellery. Those who have diamonds will always flaunt it but a nice colourful salwar kameez with gold kholapuri chappals and nice jhumkas with a fashionable batva(indian purse), does manage to turn heads.There is colaba causeway for great silver jewellery, a favourite college haunt.O yes how can i forget FabIndia , if you want to buy great cotton and raw silk kurtas which it is famous for(what can i write about it),it has lovely silk saris for whicgh they have matching stitched blouses at 250 to 400 range. Now when the darzi saheb is very busy u have fabindia to rescue!!!That reminds me Khadi bhandar has its Gandhi Jayanti sale which goes on for 3 months (Oct-Dec) , i have been wanting to go there for many moons . Its the best to visit at this time and get your quota of pure handspun khadi kurtas , real honey (for kiddos) and nice incense sticks.
Happy shopping everyone . please share if u have any other good (affordable)options !
My following blogs will be about , Diwali sweets recipes , how to decorate your house in a small budget, some Diwali etiquette and some home pack recipes for glowing skin.
I also make chocolates can give you ideas on return gifts for your parties
