TRIBUTE TO JAYASREE–AVAL KOZHUKATTAI
Some times we could not believe certain facts suddenly. Especially, if it is a sad news. I was in the same state when I came to know one of our blogger friend, Jayasree who blogged at Experiments in Kailas kitchen passed away from this world. She was one of few bloggers I know right from the days I started blogging. She never failed to write comment on each post of mine, I too even if I miss few posts, I go back to the archive and make sure I write comment to her posts. I have not interacted with her personally but I had a great respect towards her. I always admire her traditional recipes she had posted in her blog. For few days I was feeling so bad and she is still in my memories and will be for ever. And I took this opportunity to post one of her lovely post,when Lataji and few other fellow bloggers came up with the idea of posting tribute posts for her.

MICROWAVE CORN FLOUR HALWA| EASY DIWALI SWEET RECIPES
This is a easy to make microwave corn flour halwa, you can make within 20 minutes. If you have un-expected guests and you want to make some sweet, you can make it so soon without sweat. This is my MIL’s trade mark sweet. She learnt it through a TV show, I think Mrs.Mallika Badrinath recipe. She makes and serves this proudly as it is made out of Microwave. And every body without fail will ask for the recipe and totally get impressed too.It uses very less ghee unlike other halwa recipe. I could not click that well to show the delicious halwa. But the recipe and the taste is the main right.. so I think you all can adjust with it…
And Before going to the recipe, I want to say a very important thing…

MAGIZHAMPOO THENKUZHAL | DIWALI SNACK RECIPES
Magizhampoo thenkuzhal – with coconut milk. Magizhampoo is a flower which is so small in size but smells heavenly and strongly too. They sort the flower in a thread with needle and wear in the plaits as we do jasmine. This magizhampoo thenkuzhal murukku resembles the look of sorted flowers. And I assume that’s why they call this so. We make this murukku a bit different… We make it as a mildly sweet murukku with coconut milk. So it is very very flavourful and very distinct in taste. I love it very much.

JALEBI | DIWALI SWEET RECIPES
I have tasted Jalebi only twice before I made this on my own last weekend. First time it was from Sri Krishna sweets,Vj bought me as I said I have never tasted before. And as it was my first time, I din’t like it that much and more over, some times, in some sweets, I don’t like too much of ghee smell. Especially in Sri Krishna sweets. The ghee smell just freaks me out. But the second time I was offered at a friend’s place and it was just awesome without any over dose of the ghee smell. So I loved it. But I never got chance to go to sweet shop and buy Jalebi for myself. Thanks to the busy schedule when we go to India and my weight

THENKUZHAL MURUKKU | DIWALI SNACK RECIPES
Thenkuzhal murukku will be the main diwali snack in our households. My mom as well as MIL both make this in large numbers and store in large tins. It is very flavourful and crisp snack. I still remember my childhood days,when my mom makes this one week before diwali. From that time the festive mood will start.

One of Vj’s friend here always buys sweets from Shree Mithai when he visits Chennai for us. There will be kesar burfi for sure. I love it. Not very much, still I like it. So wanted to try for so long time. And found this recipe while googling. She even has given how to make Khoya. Though the result was not as I expected, I found this recipe as a quick and easy sweet,which you can make within minutes. Still tastes rich.

KARA SEV | EASY DIWALI SNACK RECIPES
Kara sev is one my mom makes for every Diwali. My mom’s recipe is a bit different,she uses more of gram flour and lesser rice flour than I have used. I myself changed the ratio after I saw the results in ola pakoda. If we use rice flour more then we get the shade more in whiter side and also crispier snack. My hubby likes Kara sev,but am not a very big fan. So I made in small batch for him alone. Hope this will be helpful now, as many of you will be breaking your heads for what to make for Diwali.

Kadai paneer is the easiest paneer recipe I make. I usually make it as side dish for roti, but goes well with simple pulaos too. I say it is easy recipe because it has no grinding part! Cool right? So here is the simple way I make but turns out really delicious. The coriander seeds and capsicum are the highlights of this recipe.

BEETROOT HALWA
The first time I tried beetroot halwa, it was total disaster, I ended up in making burfi,instead halwa. Then after having that as dessert at my SIL’s place and another friend’s place, when I asked for recipe,they said its same as we do carrot halwa. From then I wanted to try it out and now I got the perfect chance to try it out,for the even I host – Celebrate sweets- with fruits & veggies. Do send in your recipes,if you have any!
