Spiced Raita is a delicious, spicy, thick, creamy, flavored, and simple raita recipe. This raita is prepared with a few seasonings and can be served with roll paratha, bun kebab, barbecue pulao, and biryani. This traditional recipe comes from the subcontinent, specifically India and Pakistan, and,d as desired, can be served with veggies, seasoning for enhancing taste, or can be plainly served with paratha, puri, or any fried base meal.

                 

This spiced raita can be made within 10 minutes; I often make it with a snack or at lunch or dinner

. Personally, I love this. I used regular full-fat yogurt to make but if you want to use it for diet purposes can use fat-free yogurt 

. This raita is wholesome and full of nutrients, especially the presence of calcium,m which fulfills bones and skin requirements. Calcium is one of the most important elements that is essential to our bones and teeth.

Chana Dal Halwa Recipe ( Bengal Gram Dessert )

                                                  

Chana dal halwa || Bengal Gram Dessert Recipe || How to make chana dal halwa with step-by-step photos and video...

I updated my old post by adding a video of chana dal halwa to better understand the recipe.

Chana dal halwa is a very tasty, traditional, rich flavor and a mouth-watering taste, which is usually made at any special event like Shab-e-Rat in India and Pakistan, but I love to eat it. 

So I often make it at home without any special events. 
Chana dal has a richer flavor than other pulses, which lends itself well to the preparation of a mouth-watering halwa. Soaked and ground dal is sautéed till a rich aroma is achieved, and then prepared into a traditional halwa flavored with cardamom, clove, and cinnamon. 
                                   

My Latest Video: Chana Dal Halwa:

It is important to stir the dal mixture continuously while sautéing. Although the chana dal halwa requires a bit of prior soaking and takes a bit of time to cook, it is a worthwhile effort, which is sure to be praised by your guests and family members as one of the perfect desserts for entertaining.  

Chana dal halwa is prepared with desi ghee or Clearfield ghee, but I don’t like the taste of desi ghee, so I used regular ghee. If you like it, then you can cook it with it. This halwa is prepared with a few ingredients, which are sugar, dry fruits, and ghee, sprinkled with some kewra essence.

Hard to cook and takes more time than other types of halwa, but with its unique flavor comes no. 1 in all types of halwa dessert,t so let's begin with step-by-step photos...
Tips:
Soak chana dal in hot water. 

 

To enhance the flavor of this traditional dessert, boil the chana dal by mixing it with water and milk. Be careful not to add too much water and milk while boiling. 

 

Be cautious, as the liquid dal paste can burn your hands when roasting it with ghee. 

 

For added flavor, you can include raisins, cashew nuts, or even saffron.

To prepare this recipe, first soak the chana dal for at least 2 hours.

Take all ingredients and prepare all dry fruits.

Firstly, in a large pot,t add chana dal (Lati,n), add 1 liter of mixed water and milk, bring it to a boil, then remove all, cover the lid, and let it cook until softened. ed

Note: I didn't use milk due to it not being available at home at the time.

Blend chana dal with the hand blender or hand masher till it turns to a smooth texture.

                                

In a large pan/pot, add ghee, ee heat, then add whole spices; let them crackle for a minute, then add the blended dal paste.

                                            

Stir to combine well and start roasting the dal paste on a medium flame until the water dries out along with the left surface of the pot.

             

You can even touch the dal paste slightly; if it seems nonsticky means that the halwa dal mixture should not stick to your fingertips when you touch it. Non-sticky chana dal paste indicates that it has been almost roasted; add sugar.

                                  

Stir it on medium flame until the sugar is dissolved.

                                                           

Note: You cannot leave the halwa for even a single second because it can stick or burn up.
Add chopped half-dry fruits and half reserve for use later. 

                                           

Keep stirring until the ghee separates; sprinkle a few drops of kewra and stir well.        

            

Once halwa leaves the surface of the pot, remove it from the flame, and halwa is done.
                 

Transfer to the serving bowl or tray as desired, and cut into a rhombus shape. 

                           

Sprinkle the remaining dry fruits,s and if you have chandi wark can be placed on top.

                                                      

Halwa is ready to serve

Chicken Roast | Roasted Chicken || How to Make Roasted Chicken with step-by-step photos

Chicken Roast is a tender, juicy, flavored, spiced whole chicken that is baked in the oven or on a charcoal grill by applying lime juice with spiced yogurt to the entire chicken.

Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside with golden skin that’s spicy with just a subtle perfume of lemon to remind you it’s there without being overwhelming.

It creates its own pan juices that are used as the sauce for the chicken. This stuff is liquid gold. Chicken Roast is prepared as food by roasting, whether in a home kitchen, over a fire, or with a rotisserie (rotary spit). Generally, the chicken is roasted with its own fat and juices by circulating the meat during roasting, 

Therefore, they are usually cooked and exposed to fire or heat with some type of rotary grill so that the circulation of these fats and juices is as efficient as possible. Roast chicken is a dish that appears in a wide variety of cuisines worldwide.

However, I made this roasted chicken with just a few basic ingredients: no butter, no ghee, no herbs, and no additional ingredients added.

                              

First, I prepared spiced yogurt by adding some basic and regular powdered spices, and I marinated the whole chicken with ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, oil, and prepared spiced yogurt. Then I left the chicken in the fridge overnight, and then the next day I baked it in the oven.  

This delicious and mouthwatering chicken roast goes well with boiled eggs, puri paratha alongside green raita chutney, onion slices with lemon wedges.

Certainly, the most Mouthwatering and delicious chicken roast you've ever had! Super easy and simple to it you’ll have to try it once at home by following my recipe.
