याद आई अपनों  की इस पराये देश में 
हवाए लायी हैं संग खुशबु उनकी इस पराये देश में

            
 माँ का प्यार लाई है संग 
 पिता के अपनेपन का रंग
 बहेन के रिश्तो की कश्ती 
 भाई की ढेर सारी मस्ती 

            
 देश की माटी का एहसास 
 पाए सबको अपने पास
 मिलेंगे जब हम कल इनसे 
 दिल का हाल कहेंगे सबसे
 
याद आई अपनों  की इस पराये देश में 
हवाए लायी हैं संग खुशबु उनकी इस पराये देश में..............

Moong dal kachori recipe


Quick and Sweet Halwa

This is a quick halwa that can be prepared in minutes when you have a desire to eat something sweet. Here is the recipe :

Ingredients ( this recipe will make for 4-5 people)

  1. 1 cup whole wheat flour
  2. 1 table spoon sooji ( to give halwa the coarse wheat flour feeling)
  3. 1 cup sugar
  4. 1/2 cup ghee
  5. 1 glass of hot water
  6. 1 tspoon of elaichi powder


Method

  1. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat and pour ghee in it .
  2. Add the wheat flour along with sooji and keep roasting it. ( if roasting is not that easy u can add 1 table spoon more ghee. )
  3. Roast till the flour is of brown color and u will feel the aroma. (  stir it  continuously otherwise it will burn )
  4. Then add the hot water slowly , stir it carefully.
  5. After the water is absorbed , add the sugar.
  6. Let the sugar get absorbed, the halwa will start leaving the pan sides and u will see halwa leaving the ghee.
  7. Just add a little elaichi powder and its ready to eat.

Note: If u replace 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of cut jaggery pieces , it will have a different taste. You can even make One glass of water with 1 cup of jaggery pieces and add the jaggery syrup directly instead of water and jaggery separately. I personally love the jaggery version of this halwa.
