DEBOLINA ROY

Coconut modak

In a heated pan, mix the coconut flakes, sweetened milk, and fragrant cardamom. Once the mixture has thickened after being cooked for a while, mould it while warm and offer it to the deity.

Puran poli

Make a smooth mixture of chana dal, nutmeg, and jaggery. Stuff soft wheat flour dough, then flatten it and roast on a heated tava using plenty of ghee.

Masala bhaat

Fry the tasty goda masala, cashew nuts, and fresh vegetables in a pan and then boil with aromatic rice. Serve hot with ghee and fresh lemon juice to complete your festive meal.

Sheera

Slowly roast semolina in rich ghee until golden, then pour in warm saffron milk, sugar, and crushed cardamom. Stir gently until glossy to quickly prepare this beloved, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth prasad for guests.

Besan laddoo

Roast gram flour in ghee over low heat until deeply nutty and fragrant. Blend with powdered sugar, cardamom, and chopped nuts, then hand-shape into smooth round balls that stay perfectly fresh for days.

Kheer

Heat whole milk gently with rice, infusing the sweet and thick liquid with fragrant cardamom and bright strands of saffron. Add fried cashew nuts and raisins in ghee to make it a complete celebratory banquet.
