Bread Cranberry Chocolate Ladoos

Hello friends,

Its been long I know; I had crazy days all these way which forced me to stay away from my food blog. But as usual we cannot stay away from our close things forever, so I am back.

The security settings of my new phone is another culprit, as whenever there was a little time I try to post something, my stubborn new phone has tons of excuses saying, "No I won't share my stuffs with another machine". Finally today I thought I have to put an end to this, by cheating my phone; and figured out it was so easy; reality was " I was dumb" :O

So what do you see here? some maroon colored sphere shaped beings rolled over granulated sugar, and looks so enticing; isn't it.
So this is another research outcome from my kitchen. To be fair with you, let me tell you one thing. When I started with the main ingredient of this, I was wondering too, what the hell I am up to :P

But the fruit of the effort as always turned out so sweet. And what to name it? As Indian all sphere shaped sweets are Ladoos, Ha I will call him Ladoo, prefixed with the constituent elements which helped to take it to the final product. Feels like a science Lab? Sorry :P That's how I am, sometimes complicated :D

Ingredients:

Bread ground in mixer - 2 cups
Cranberry preserve - 2 tbsp ( I used homemade, but you can try store brought as well)
Cocoa powder, unsweetened - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Desiccated Coconut - 1 tbsp


Filling 

Walnuts, chopped - as required (each ladoo would hold a quarter)
Pomegranate peeled - as required (each ladoo would hold up to 4)

Method: 

Heat a non stick pan and pour ghee. When ghee is hot add the bread crumbs. Roast bread crumbs for few mins (no need to brown it, just ghee has to be absorbed entirely). Now ad cranberry preserve and sugar. mix it well until well combined. Add cocoa powder and desiccated coconut as well and mix well.

Take it out to a parchment or plate and while hot itself, knead to a soft dough. Now take portions and flatten to place walnuts and pomegranate in middle and roll to make gooseberry sized balls out of it and roll in sugar. Keep in refrigeration until well set.

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made.  It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds.

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...
