  15. My pen pal of several years who lives in India sent your link to me. During the past weekend made Dum Aloo and Dahi Murghi. Old habits of meat and potatoes are difficult to break! I have been eating and preparing Indian food for years. I haven’t tried the chicken and the riata but I will. I wish you great luck with your endeavor. An aside, once made the garam masala holds well in a dark cool place. For grinding I tried the Cuisinart coffee grinder. The motor would turn off so I replaced it with another. When I had the same problem with the second one I decided to try the Mr. Coffee coffee grinder and it has held up with multiple uses grinding my spices. I love the aroma the mixture of spices gives my pantry. Although, I made Chat Masala but did not care for the taste or aroma of the black salt. It maybe it is an acquired taste. As I have had many different foods I have not come across this taste or aroma. Fortunately a family in town was gifted a lot of Chat masala in a large jar!

  41. OMG. That might make one serving for me. I love fish curry. Is harvesting the tamarind pulp as easy as soaking and squeezing it out? I’ve never done it. And can I buy tamarinds anywhere? I’ve never looked for them so I’m not sure.

    Reply

    1. I love fish curry too! For the tamarind pulp, I just soak the dried pods in warm water for about 10 minutes or so and yes you can just squeeze out the pulp. I buy my tamarind at the Indian grocery store. It comes in a pressed little brick which I store in a container at room temperature for months. The outer dried skin of the pod is generally removed but may sometimes have some seeds in it. So when I squeeze out the pulp, I just throw those out. Tamarind is also available in many Asian stores.
      I hope you like the curry as much as I do and thank you for following my blog

I remember celebrating this festival when I lived in Delhi, and all these recipes bring back some very fond memories. I am very happy at the thought of recreating these delicacies here in another remote corner of the world. Many thanks for bringing these along to the party.

  108. Sandhya, this a great recipe – very easy to make. I made the ghee in the microwave too, so I used a single bowl… less cleanup!

    1. Thanks Pradnya. I am glad you liked the recipe. I saw the picture of your ladus and they look fantastic!
      Making the ghee in the microwave is a good idea too but my experience with microwaves is that it works great in some and in others it splatters so much that the microwave clean up becomes a pain. Also to strain the ghee we need to transfer it to another bowl.
      But I am so glad it worked for you!
      Happy Diwali!

    1. Happy Diwali to you too! Thank you for your sweet words. I wish I could stay away from those ladus saying they are cute:)

      1. Happy Diwali, Loretta! You will love these easy to make microwave laddoos that also use less ghee.
        Laddoo besan is just a coarser ground besan. Mixing the two textures of besan gives it a nice grainy texture rather than the laddoos that stick to the roof of the mouth:)
        Do let me know when you make them!

      That is what I had in mind too until I saw the non fat pumpkin Greek yogurt at Trader Joes. It will definitely be nice with pumpkin puree and plain yogurt as you will be able to put in as much of the pumpkin flavor as you like. Hope you like the flavor as much as we did.

      1. I’m glad you are Sandhya, there’s just so much to learn out there isn’t there? I have lived on WP all week I think. I was asked to do a guest post for tomorrow, plus I posted today on a delicious curry, and trying to keep up with the blogging assignments. Let me know what you think of the ingredients, it’s really quite lovely!

      2. Yes there is a lot to learn for sure! I know what you mean by living on WordPress 🙂
        I wrote a recipe yesterday and have to do one tomorrow.
        Liked your coriander tomato chicken a lot!

  264. Hi Sandhya,

    Thanks for nominating my blog for Liebster award.

    As I am new to blogging, I have no idea how this award is useful for new bloggers like me. Any idea what happens to those who win this award?

    Please do share some information about this award.

    Regards,
    Sanjay Dhadwal

    1. Sanjay,
      I am not sure how the award works either. My blog isj ust 5 months old too. But I saw that the other bloggers display their awards on the front page, so figured it must be important to win some:)
      You have a great blog so I nominated you.

  279. I’m not sure I’ve heard of this festival, mind you my knowledge of Indian festivals is very poor, I think I just know about Diwali :). Love ladoos and love jaggery, I’m sure this was a great combination with the sesame seeds too.

    1. Yes Loretta, the sesame seeds and jaggery make an absolutely addictive combination…..writing this as I stuff some more of the tilgul in my mouth:)

  295. I love Diwali – admittedly for the fairy lights and the yummy treats my colleagues bring! These look delicious; does the ghee keep well in the fridge if you make it yourself?

    Reply

    1. Yes I pour it off in a covered container and store it in the refrigerator for a month or so. Since it takes only a few minutes to make it, I make it one or two sticks at a time. I love the aroma and taste of fresh ghee:)
