This blog documents my journey in the kitchen from Pav Bhaji to Pesarettu, from Baked Ravioli to Fried Rice and from Cinnamon Sticks to Pizza. A special thanks to my generous mom who let me wander into her kitchen and bug her with questions that she couldn't possible answer with a straight face:). To good food and good life!!!

Puran
I made this yesterday for Holi. Traditionally puran poli is made but I didnt find the time for it. Maybe next time!
Ingredients:
1) 1 cup chana daal
2) 1 1/2 cup water
3) Elaichi powder (2-3 elaichies)
4) 1 cup sugar
5) 1/2 spoon ghee
Directions:
1) Pressure cook chana daal just a little and drain excess water
2) Added sugar to chana daal and cook on low heat till the mixture starts thickening
3) Add elaichi powder and stir it in and cook some more
4) Once in the serving plate, garnish with ghee and serve hot
Credits: Again, mom's recipe and her suggestion to make it for Holi. So thanx to her for that and all the other times she has made puran and puran poli and "kata chi amti" from the excess water that comes out of cooking the chana daal. :)
