CHURMUNDO (WHEAT FLOUR LADDU’S)...

9:05 PM

Priyanka Prabhu

My mom was very happy with my final semester BE results (86.4%), so she told me prepare the wheat flour Laddu’s (which we call it as Churmundo) and distribute it among all my relatives so that she can share her happiness along with them. Everyone in our family loves the Churmundo prepared by my mom and thank god now i have learnt how to prepare it finally. I found it very easy and it really tastes yummmmmmmmmmm…..It’s prepared only during special occasions. My relatives wait for my mom to prepare it, that’s their favorite sweet dish. This time she decided that I should prepare it and distribute it among them. It tasted really well to my surprise and also got emptied in a day span.

It requires very less ingredients. Let me first list out the required Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS:

½ kg Wheat Flour

250 ml Fresh and pure Ghee

1 ½ cup of Sugar

1 tsp of Cardamom powder

10 -12 Badam

PROCEDURE TO PREPARE:

1) Take a Kadai and put it on the stove for heating.

2) Add the Wheat flour to the Kadai and start to heat the wheat flour with constant stirring for around 10 minutes on a low flame.

3) Now add ghee to the heated Wheat flour and keep mixing it well with wheat flour.

4) You need to constantly keep mixing and heat the wheat flour till it turns the wheat flour color to light brown color for about 45 mins.

5) Simultaneously add the sugar and cardamom to the mixer and grind it to fine powder.

6) Its better to keep the heated wheat flour to cool down for at least half an hour or else it will be hot to make it into small balls (Laddu’s).

7) After the Wheat flour cools down, chop Badam into small pieces and add it to the heated wheat flour along with prepared Sugar and cardamom powder.

8) Mix the mixture very well; see to it that it forms uniform mixture without any small aggregates of sugar powder.

9) Now start to make Laddu’s (smaller sized balls) and keep the prepared Laddu’s on tissue paper; It will help to remove extra ghee in the prepared Laddu’s (if any).

10) The tasty Laddu’s is ready in almost an hour or 1 ½ hours. It’s really worth to spend such long time to get those Yummmmmmmmmy Laddu’s. I finally garnished it with Badam pieces.

Whenever we prepare Churmundo at our home there is usually a competition among mom and me as to who will make more Laddu’s. This time also I won against mom, but she feels happy to lose she says it will help me to improve.

There are still many more recipes to be learnt from her.

Until I Learn the more recipes keep enjoying, eat good food and stay fit.

Thank you friends

SHEERA….. :)

4:04 PM

Sheera is a very simple sweet dish. It can be is prepared quickly in about 10-15 minutes. My mom prepares it every time. There is no need of any special occasion for it to be prepared. It’s best to have hot poori along with sweet Sheera during rainy season. Its really a very delicious combination and it tastes yummmmmmmmmmm....This recipe is dedicated to my best friend Pratiba Bhat………She just loves Sheera, its one of her favorite sweet dish. At our college canteen if she used to find that sheera is done ready there was no need to ask her what she will have, it was an obvious answer from her “SHEERA”.

So here we see how we can prepare sweet sheera…

INGREDIENTS: (for 4 members)

2 glass of hot water

¾ cup of Sujji/Bombay Rave

4-5 big tsp of fresh ghee

¾ cup of Sugar (Sugar and rave amount is usually the same ie add in equal quantity)

Pinch of Yellow coloring powder

10-12 Raisins

7-8 Cashews

¼ tsp of Cardamom Powder

PROCEDURE TO PREPARE:

1) Add Sujji/Bombay Rave to a kadai along with 5 big tsp of ghee to it and put kadai over the low flame and now start to roast the rave till it gets light brown color.

2) Now add hot water little by little to the light brown roasted Rave/Sujji and stir it well as and when water is added to it. The hot water is added so as to prevent formation of tiny balls of Sujji / Rave (you call it as ಗಂಟುಗಳು in Kannada).

3) When water starts to evaporate and it begins to become dry, add the cardamom powder along with a little yellow coloring powder to it. Stir them very well.

4) Take a Small Seasoning pan to lightly ghee roast the raisins and cashews till it gets swelled up and then add it to the kadai in which we are preparing sheera.

5) Add the Sugar to the kadai and start stirring it again. When it becomes a little dry take a clean plate apply a little ghee to it and spread the sheera over it and you can cut it into pieces and have it. Or else you can just put the flame off and put it in a bowl and taste it.

Sheera is ready in a less amount of time. It’s a very easy and a simple sweet dish to be prepared instantly. When guests come home all of a sudden you can prepare this very soon and serve it to them. It will be done very quickly.
