Even I was doing the preparations, and thought of doing this month's last posting :) I will be sharing an easy recipe today, which is very special for this festival! I already prepared some items for tomorrow because I can't prepare all the dishes alone quickly. Today, I prepared Sesame seeds laddoo, which is one of the favorite dishes of Lord Ganesha. One of my Aunt prepares these laddoos very nicely. They will celebrate Sankashtahara Chaturthy every month and she won't miss these laddoos for the Naivedyam. We used to wait for the pooja to end and eat the tasty laddoos!! I have adopted some tips from her for this recipe. But these laddoos will be more tasty and chewy if you use the liquid jaggery which you can get only in rural areas. Preparation time: 40 minutes Yield: 20 - 21 small laddoos Ingredients: Powdered jagg...

If we add capsicum to any dish, it will increase the taste of the dish with its nice aroma. Capsicum will get cooked very quickly; so, cooking process won't take much time. When the dish is almost done, add the capsicum and 5 - 6 minutes will be enough for it to get cooked! I learned this curry recipe from my sister. It has a unique taste with the aroma of fenugreek seeds and capsicum. It will be a good combo with rice or rotis.
