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:

Egg Roll

            

Hello Foodies......Hope you all are doing great and enjoying the festive season. The biggest festival of Bengalis Durga Puja is just around the corner. Which means lot of shopping, pandal hopping, makeup, adda (meeting and chit-chat with friends) and obviously Food. 


We Bengalis can never think anything without Food. Food takes the center space in everything we do. That's the love we have for Food. Durga Puja means Pandal hopping and lot of junk food. During these days we all forget about diet and hygiene and gulp anything and everything. 



As Durga Puja is just around the corner so we thought of sharing a very popular street food of Kolkata and that is "Egg Roll". Kolkata is the hub of Street Food. There is so much variety in the food that we can find endless options to eat but will not get fed up.



Today's recipe is Egg Roll which is nothing but a paratha stuffed with an omelette and spicy salad. So, let's begin with the recipe:
