written by Hearty Food Talks

To celebrate the auspicious festival of Ā Ganesha Chaturthi, here I am sharing the recipe of a super nutritious and delicious Finger Millets And Jaggery Modak or Ragi Laddu.Ā

  • 1/4 to 1/2 Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Coconut šŸ„„Ā 
  • 1 tbsp. Raisins
  • 1 tbsp. Almonds
  • 1 tbsp. WalnutsĀ 
  • 1 tbsp. CashewsĀ 

Fresh or Dried Coconut šŸŒ“ šŸ„„

Freshly Grated Nutmeg

Place the cardamom, nutmeg, and coconut in a blender jar. Grind the mixture into a coarse powder.

Keep the coarsely ground coconut mixture aside for later use.

In a heavy bottom pan, on a low-medium heat, add ghee and the finger millet flourā€¦

Keep roasting it with a constant stirring, until fragrant (10 to 15 mins)ā€¦

Add the coconut mixture and stir roast for another 2 to 3 minutesā€¦

Combine well..

Grind the toasted nuts (except raisins)ā€¦

Add the nut powder and raisins to the flour mixture..

To make a one string jaggery syrup, take 2/4 cup of water..

Add the jaggery to the warm water on a low heat..,

Let it cook for a couple of minutes..

Turn of the heat as soon as the syrup reaches into one-string consistencyā€¦

Add the jaggery syrup to the finger millets mixture and combine well with the help of a spatulaā€¦

Once the mixture gets little cooler, start binding the dough into small Laddu or Modak. Our Finger Millets Laddu are ready for celebration!

Note:Ā These Finger Millets Laddu turned out very delicious. Binding part is a bit challenging, as the laddu mixture has to be warm enough. An extra ghee, jaggery, or milk helps creating the Laddu much faster. Teams up great with a cup of milk.Ā 

Whole Nutmeg

Once the mixture gets little cooler, start binding the dough into small Laddu or Modak. Our Finger Millets Laddu are ready for celebration!

Oats And Banana Muffins

by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

Oats And Banana Muffins

Oats are among the healthiest grains on our planet. Theyā€™re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

Researches show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Oat groats, the most intact and whole form of oats, take a long time to cook. For this reason, most people prefer rolled, crushed or steel-cut oats.

Instant (quick) oats are the most highly processed variety. While they take the shortest time to cook, the texture may be mushy.

Oats are commonly eaten for breakfast as oatmeal, which is made by boiling oats in water or milk. Oatmeal is often referred to as porridge.

Theyā€™re also often included in muffins, granola bars, cookies and other baked goods. Here, I am sharing a no fail recipe of wholesome Oats And Banana Muffins.

Ingredients

Rice Pudding Kheer

Delectable Coconut and Rice Pudding | Kheer

written by Hearty Food Talks

Rice Pudding | Kheer

Rice pudding is simply raw rice cooked in sweetened milk. As the rice cooks, it lets off starch that thickens the milk and suspends the tender grains of rice, contributing to its creaminess.

Traditionally, it is started with uncooked rice. Whereas, to cut short the cooking-time, it can also be started with the leftover cooked rice.

A serving of rice pudding is like a warm hug on a special day. As itā€™s a fragrant, creamy, and pleasantly sweet dessert. Hereā€™s how to make the easiest rice pudding, the one that we use over and over again.

Further, we can customize it in a number of interesting ways.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Whole Milk
  • 2 to 3 tbsps. Basmati Rice
  • 2 tbsps. Organic Cane Sugar
  • 2 pods of CardamomĀ 
  • 4 to 6 Saffron Strands
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Ribbons
  • 12 to 15 RaisinsĀ 
  • 6-8 AlmondsĀ 
  • 2 to 4 PistachiosĀ 
  • 1/2 inch Cinnamon Stick
  • A few drops of Rose Water šŸŒ¹Ā
