#Navratri

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 people

Cooking time :

1 hour

1.5 Cups

Maida/Wheat Flour- Well kneaded to a tight yet soft dough with some salt & ghee/oil (moyan)

1/2 Cup

Brinjal (Medium & Cut into Roundels)

1 tsp

Milk- Mixed with 1 Cup Water (Or simply 2 Cups Milk)

2 tbsps

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Begun Bhaja: Put some salt, turmeric & red chilli powder to the rounded cut brinjals- keep aside for about 10-15 mins time

* Step 2

In a frying pan- Add some cooking oil, sufficient to fry the brinjals & once they’re well cooked & change to dark golden brown, take it out on the kitchen towels to soak excess oil

* Step 3

Transfer it to the serving platter & garnish with some sprinkled salt & chat masala (optional)

* Step 4

Halwa: In a frying pan: Add some ghee- Roast the dry fruits & take out & set aside, once light brown in colour & are slightly swelled up

* Step 5

In the same pan: Add some more ghee- sauté the suji/rava until it’s light brown & smells aromatic, over the low-medium flame

* Step 6

Now, slowly & gradually add in the milk-water mixture with one hand & keep stirring the mixture continuously & vigorously with the other until it starts thickening

* Step 7

The mixture should be absolutely lump-free & smooth in its texture, add in the fried nuts & the rest of the ghee & keep stirring occasionally while, still cooking it for about another 6-7 mins time until the entire water evaporates & it thickens completely

* Step 8

Puri: The aforementioned prepared dough should be resting for at least 30-40 mins time before we make the puris

* Step 9

Now, make the dough-lets of your choicest sizes & roll out with the help of a rolling pin in small round shapes (each should be about 3-4” dia)

* Step 10

In a frying pan, suitable for deep frying: Add in the sufficient cooking oil/ghee for deep frying the puris (one, at a time)- to golden/dark golden brown

* Step 11

Take it out to the kitchen towel to soak excess oil & then, transfer it to the serving platters on the dining table

* Step 12

Serve the entire platter: Well accommodated with the Puris, Begun Bhaja & Halwa/Sheera- This very Navaratri platter’s very much simple, easy to make with readily available ingredients in almost all the Indian pantries & is loved by ALL regardless of age & genre & religion...ENJOY
