Three Special Indian Delicacies For Diwali - The Festival Of Lights

I'm pro eating and I'm pro looking good but I have always been confused whether these two things are related or not and it is pretty difficult taking a stand because even the expert views are divided. Normally we are advised against greasy food, chocolates and blah blah blah. We decide to swear off fries and sinful bars only to read next that these are food myths and food does not make zits pop out.

Bhaturas are one of my all time favorites. Usually thick and soft, they can be crispy too and are traditionally eaten with one of many varieties of chickpea curry. Refined flour forms the base for this bread, which is leavened with yoghurt and yeast and flavored with a little sugar and salt. After rising, the dough is rolled out and pulled from one side to make it slightly elongated, after which it is deep fried in hot oil.
 

 


Just before your food is served, they serve you the Chutneys that they are famous for. It comes with a handle that supports four containers. One of it is a pure coconut chutney and the others are dal-based chutney, tomato chutney and ginger chutney. The sambar they serve you here is obviously made with love as the ingredients perfectly blend and yet it's not thick.

In addition, ghee's lubricating properties help improve sexual vitality by keeping the nerve endings alive. Its vitamin E content make it a good choice for strengthening the nervous system and building muscle.

Method: Wash the brown rice in running water and soak it for 15-20 hours. Grate the jaggery and keep it aside. Take a heavy bottom vessel and boil 2 cups of water in it. Drain the rice and add it in the boiled water. Let it simmer for 15 minutes. Add 4 cups of milk and let the mixture here boil for another 30 minutes. Check for the consistency of rice, it should be soft and mushy.

 

 



Paint a bit more ghee over the top surface and allow to fry for about a minute. Turn the paratha over and paint the other side. The actual cooking process of each paratha only takes a couple of minutes. You will need to turn each paratha over a couple of times during cooking - adding a little more ghee each time you do.

What you get - The restaurant is famous for its south Indian fare. They also serve North Indian, Chinese and Jain cuisine. But these are priced above the norm. Being in this restaurant and not trying their specialties would be a crime.

Choose naan or chapatti over paranthas or puris. These breads are usually fried. Make sure you ask the naan or chapatti to remain plain, that is not to add any ghee or butter to them. All Indian desserts are high in sugar and fat like most other desserts. If you must have a dessert, then make sure it is a small portion only.
