Multi-Millet Barfi

  

Ingredients

Multi Millet mix - 1/2 cup

Almond flour - 1/4 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Water - 1/4 cup

Saffron - a few strands

Almond flakes - 2 tbsp

Butter/Ghee - 5 tbsp

Instructions

Add 2 tbsp of ghee to a pan and let it melt

Add Millet flour; mix well on a low flame. Cook for a minute. Transfer the mixture into a bowl

Add water, sugar, and saffron; let it boil. Let sugar melt completely

Once the sugar syrup starts dropping from the ladle, add Millet flour, almond flour, and mix well

Add the remaining ghee in small portions and mix well

Cook till it becomes like a mass and leaves the pan. To get the right consistency, take a small portion and make a ball - if you are able to form a small laddu, then the consistency is right. Switch off the stove

Transfer into a greased plate and sprinkle almond flakes

Let it cool down. Cut into the desired shape and serve.

 

Note- You may add some fresh grated, when adding the flours to the sugar syrup.

Plum cobbler

 I had some plums thinking it will be sweet. Sad just the opposite. What next to do, to save the money that I had sent to buy them, was to make some healthy cobbler ! I used to make Apple cobbler, which was a fav with the family especially to have it in winter, a delight to eat the hot apple cobbler. I did it in the microwave, you can cook part over gas, then bake in oven.

Ingredients

plums

apricots ( optional) 

sugar

flour

butter

nuts chopped

Preparations

In a micro safe dish, I roughly chopped plums, sprinkled sugar and wee bit of water to cook it for 2 minutes, stirred for another 2 minutes. As if I felt it was soft, I kept it aside.

 As I had plenty of dried apricots, about a big cup full of I soaked by pouring hot water for about 30 minutes or till soft. Then removed the seeds, put the pulp in the mixer jar to make a paste. To this paste, in stead of adding all purpose flour, I added the kanji flour, which  had flours of almonds and some other nuts. I added some ghee, instead of butter and spread the mixture over the plums, topped with chopped nuts, micro high for about 8 minutes on microwave. The top was firm. Honestly I forgot that I had kept it in the microwave, went for lunch, then when I entered the kitchen, I realised that  the cobbler was ready. I cut and tasted it, I liked it, could have been a little sweeter. I forgot to take the photo, as I served to some guests and my physio, who all said it was good.

Enjoy your cobbler, if the fruit is too sour to eat. To make the topping healthy, I add another fruit to avoid adding more sugar for the sake of my guests, who are diabetics !
