Stuffed Coconut Ladoos

As peeps.........hope you all are doing good and geared up for the festive season. We Kolkatans are ready to welcome the most-awaited and biggest festival of the year......The Durga Pujo. As the monsoon bids adieu, the days become shorter, the morning air feels cooler and the sky is full of wooly clouds. This marks the beginning of Pujo-Pujo feeling. But definitely, this year festivals will be quite different from the other years. 

Nariyal Ladoo or Coconut Ladoo don't need any introduction in Indian households. We as Bengalis have great significance for Narkel er Nadu (Nariyal/Coconut Ladoos). These small coconut balls are made are usually made during the festivals, especially during the Ganesh Puja/Durga Puja/ Diwali/ Lokkhi Pujo/ Lakhmi Puja. 

As the name suggests it is made up of Coconut, Milk, Sugar, and Cardamom to add some flavor to the Ladoo. The Ladoos are of two kinds one made with Jaggery or Gur and are deep brown in color and the other made with Sugar and are pristine white in color. My personal liking is the later one (the one made with Sugar). I have already shared the recipe of Traditional Coconut Ladoos during my early phase of blogging (I think that was my first post). 

This recipe of Coconut Ladoos is a bit different from the traditional ones as I have stuffed them with Khowa/ Mawa. This tastes a bit different from the traditional ones but really tastes awesome. Moreover, I have added condensed milk to the Coconut mixture which uplifts the flavor of these Ladoos. So, this festive season make these Stuffed Coconut Ladoos and enjoy them with your friends and family.

So, let's begin with the recipe:

Carrot Delight

Hello, my Foodie Friends.......I hope you all are keeping well and enjoying the festivities. Yes, the festival season has already started in India but this time it's very different but that's what the new normal is. We have to accept it and behave accordingly.

Today is Ganesh Chaturthi......according to mythological stories Lord Ganesha is worshiped before everyone and it was on this day that Lord Shiva had pronounced his son superior to all the gods and goddesses except Lord Shiva himself, Goddess Parvati, Lord Vishnu, and Goddess Lakshmi.  

India will celebrate Ganeshutsav for the next 10 days starting today. Well, Lord Ganesha is worshiped equally in each and every region but if you want to feel the real essence of Ganeshutsav then you must visit Maharashtra where it's celebrated most of the households and every nooks and corner.

Ganesh Puja is incomplete without Modaks as this is the most loved dessert of Lord Ganesha. Modaks can be prepared in a variety of forms and nowadays it is available in the sweet shops too. I have already shared the recipe of Modak in my blog. You can check it out here.

Today's recipe is a bit different it's about Carrot Delight or Carrot Jelly Burfi. Nowadays since Carrots are available throughout the year and we can enjoy them at any time of the year. There are a lot of dessert delicacies made with carrots. One of them is Carrot Burfi, this burfi is a little bit different from the usual burfi recipe as I have given jelly texture to it.

So, let's begin with the recipe:
