Busy Mom Creates

Happy Diwali to you and your family folks! Very Happy to share my 100th post on this special occasion with a traditional Sindhi sweet "Praghree". Thank you all for all your support throughout!

Masala Mathri leaf shaped is a spiced up crispy savory snack specifically flavored and tri-colored naturally. A slight variant from traditional diwali savory snacks is indubitably a treat to both your eyes and taste buds.

Jangiri/ Jhangiri is the most sought-after Indian sweet and has been a part of all our festivities especially diwali. Most importantly, its vegan certified. 

I am elated to share that today is a very special day for "Busy Mom Creates". Time just rolls and we are here celebrating the 3rd blogiversary with "The Great Awakening". 

Gopi/ Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable that absorbs flavors easily and wins the hearts of both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. This fool proof and enticing Indo Chinese crispy Cauliflower  recipe  has mild chinese flavor which accentuates the Indian flavors with no artificial food coloring. This tasty and crunchy cauliflower florets can be s erved as a starter/ appetizer or an evening snack.  

Paneer Tikka is one of the classic and richest Mughlai recipes. Being an all time  favorite dish for foodies all over the world, this mildly spiced dish will be a good addition to your favorite biryani list. 

A Valentine's day special! Do you agree there's an affair between chocolate and valentine's day? Surprise your valentine with this no bake Greek yogurt mousse. A tasty, healthy and an easy to make dessert for any occasion. Make ahead to make a regular meal extra special with this dessert. Just 3 main ingredients is all you need to make this decadent. Tried my chocolate nest using steel moulds but they broke while removing them. However, the plastic water bottles tend to shrink when it gets cold and it's easy to slide the chocolate nest out. These bottles are slightly squeezy to gently loosen and slide the chocolate out. Making the chocolate nest requires time, but the mouse can be prepared in a jiffy. You may opt just the mouse and pour it into a mould and set it.  If you want to make from scratch, use unflavored greek yogurt, frozen fruit of your choice, vanilla extract  and honey/agave to sweeten the yogurt.   Agar agar  can be replace with gelati

The flavors and taste of a non-vegetarian gravy is married with Kondai Kadalai/ Black Chickpeas to result in a healthy yet finger licking colorful addition to any meal. 

Plantain fritters/ Pazha Bajji (Tamil Nadu)/  Pazham Pori (Kerala)  is simple and deliciously sweet snack however the South Indian way. It can be a perfect sweet and crispy snack to your evening tea or a dessert when served with a big glob of whipped cream or ice cream.
