Happy Diwali

Diwali.....A festival of lights is my favourite festival. Celebrating diwali without sweets is much like celebrating diwali without crackers. On special occasions like Diwali, fireworks and yummy sweets and snacks go hand in hand. I wish all my friends, fellow bloggers and my blog readers a "Very Happy and a Safe Diwali"

Some quick special recipes for Diwali:

Sunni Undalu (Udad dal Laddoo)
This is a quick, yummy and a healthy recipe. Udad dal and ghee adds good calories and gives instant energy. My mom makes this very often and we used to have it as a quick energy bar.
IngredientsDry roasted udad dal - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 cup
Dry nuts for garnishing

Procedure

• Take a wide non stick frying pan and heat it on a low flame. Add udad dal and dry roast it for 8 mints/ until dal starts changing to a light brown color. You will also sense a very nice aroma. Switch off the stove and allow the dry roasted dal to cool down.
• Coarsely grind the udad dal in a dry mixer jar. Now add sugar to the same mixture and grind it for 2 minutes. For best results, make sure the mixture is slightly coarse. Transfer the mixture in to a wide bowl.
• Now heat the ghee slightly to a luke warm temperature and add it to the coarse mixture of udad dal and sugar.
• Stir the powder with ghee to make sure ghee is mixed well. Now take small portions in hand and make small laddoos. You may add little more ghee if mixture is dry.
• Garnish the laddoos with dry fruits and serve!
