Indian Pumpkin Pie
10 to 13 years back we had this group called Makkala Balaga, small group of my close friends – 5 to 6 moms and our kids. The purpose of this group was to teach our kids to read and write Kannada and teach them Shlokas. We were all committed to this Friday evening meeting, kids used to eagerly wait for Friday meeting since they got to play together after the class. After the meeting, we used to sit around and drink a nice, hot cup of coffee together. Occasionally there used to be a snack to go with it. We used to chat, laugh… unforgettable days! Thanks to these meetings, my son speak, read, and write Kannada.
We used to celebrate festivals together too, preparing the food according the festival we were celebrating :) mmm.. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the yummy foods. Everyone was a great cook. I remember for one of the DeepavaLi get-together, Bharati prepared this one dish, I don’t know the name of it, but in our home kids call this Indian Pumpkin Pie. We loved it so much on that Deepavali day, it has become a regular “Pie” in our home.
Sweet and Khara Boondi Recipe
Deepavali is here, thinking of making sweet and kara at one shot? Here is extremely delicious, crispy and crunchy, and I must say very addictive, Sweet and Kara Boondi :). This is one of the kids finger food, especially the sweet boondi. My daughter and I just love the sweet one, it just melts in our mouth. This brings back my childhood memory too. During Navarathri season we used to go to my grand parents house in Anekere, a small village in Karnataka. There we used to celebrate 9 days of navarathri. Every evening ajji (Grandma) used to call so many people, I could say the whole village was present. She used to prepare Gojjavalakki, different kinds of sweets, and particularly my favorite Sweet and Khara Boondi. I miss my grandmother’s cooking :( she was an amazing cook. Navarathri was the best time for me to enjoy all kinds of snacks.
For making the sweet and kara boondi we need to know how to make the perfect boondi. This multi purpose boondi can be used to prepare Boondi Raitha, Boondi for Chats too. The same boondi we are using here to make this sweet and kara.
