318. samo/moriyo kheer

this tastes good when it is hot

Mangoes have disappeared for now and the pawpaws available are not nice. So I was wondering what fruit to add to the humble banana to make a nice yummy fruit salad. Nothing much was available besides apples and grapes. I had no choice but to make nice hot kheer for hubby dear as he too fasted for Janamashtami yesterday. We both like sabudana kheer nice and cold and I had forgotten to make it the previous day. Very early in the morning I remembered having samo kheer as prasadam on Ekadashi day from the Juhu ISKCON temple. Hot kheer with just a touch of cardamom and lots of cashew nuts. So I made samo or moriyo kheer and its the simplest kheer I have ever prepared. Quick, easy and delicious. A bit of the kheer was left over and in the evening I added fresh fruits to it to make it into a filling meal. Yummy.... can't wait for Ekadashi which is just round the corner to make the kheer again with loads of fresh fruit.



SAMO/MORIYO KHEER
4 Servings
4 cups of full fat milk
½ cup samo/moriyo
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup chopped nuts (cashew nuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios etc)
1 to 2 tbsp raisins or a dry fruit of your choice
½ tsp cardamom powder (elachi)


  1. Wash the samo just like rice and keep it on the side till required. 
  2. Put the milk in a non stick pan over medium heat.
  3. When it begins to boil, add the samo.
  4. Keep stirring occasionally and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes or till the samo is cooked.
  5. Add the chopped nuts, raisins, sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well and serve.
Tips:
  • Instead of sugar you can use any artificial sweetener.
  • Add more nuts and dry fruits if you like.
  • Can be served chilled.
  • Add chopped fresh fruits to the cold kheer.
  • Puree dates and dry figs and add to the kheer.
  • Use low fat milk if you like.

337.Green tomato jam

Image
My first jam making session      I have over the years accumulated many jam recipes but have never tried making jam. I don't know, is it because I feel it might be difficult or I get scared to sterilise the jars. Don't know why. However, today Julius my househelp, walks in with a whole bag of green tomatoes from his farm. I got excited and instantly the recipe for the green tomato jam came out my recipe book. I was a bit hesitant as I had no idea how the jam would turn out. It tastes yummy and I had some with plain paratha as a snack in the afternoon. The jam is sweet and tangy at the same time. It didn't take long at all and I think now the jam bug is slowly creeping into my bones. Its funny how I get stuck onto certain things for a period of time, first it was salads, then bread, followed by muffins then the cookie bug took over and now it seems its jams. Planning to make some to take for my Nunu and my daughter, Nami as I am travelling very soon to India. Will try out ...

MEGA BLOGGING MARATHON - APRIL 2018 #87TH BLOGGING MARATHON THEME: EXPLORE THE FLAVORS - INTERNATIONAL BREAKFAST DAY 3 "Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dine like a Pauper"    We are once again going through water cuts...you read right not power cuts but water cuts. We're in the 21st Century and basic amenities like water, power and garbage collection are missing in the second largest city of Kenya. Its a shame! We live in what's suppose to be the upmarket area on the island and we've not had piped water ever since my hubby's family opted to live in this area. We heavily depend on the borehole which is not enough for 240 apartments. Now I have to get up early and race with the clock to get breakfast and lunch ready, get the washing machine going, wash up whatever utensils I used, fill buckets with water and take a bath all before 10a.m. By the time the maid gets to work half the jobs are done. Usually at this time we should be having the long rai...

625. Peanut and Fruit Salad (Chaat)

Peanut and Fruit Salad(Chaat) #Fantastical Food Fight Trying to eat healthy        When you're a food blogger and food is your passion, its pretty difficult to stay away from all those tempting recipes out there in the cyber world and cook books. I get tempted to try out so many recipes and the more calories it has the temptation level is that much higher!          Recently I joined this group called Fantastical Food Fight . I got tempted to join after I saw the absolutely tempting cookies made by Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories . After I oooooogled at the photos till I was drooling, she suggested that we should check out what other members of the group had made. I scrolled down and recipes had me salivating.      Just when I joined, the theme for March happen to be PB&J (peanut butter and jelly).And I thought oh no here goes out the healthy eating... but as I read on further, Sarah Ellis (host of the group) mentioned that...
