Naan Khattari/Naan khattar/Narayani khattar

Today is the last day of this year..and May be this is my last post for the year......So This year was very good....I hope the same for the coming year......

I wish you all of you very 'HAPPY NEW YEAR'......Have a wonderful and great year...Welcome the new with this Sweet....

Naan Khattar is one of my all time fav dessert.When I was in Bangalore ,I always use to get from the bakery and eat...So today thought of doing it myself at home.. But the texture has not turned so very well as I eat in bakery....anyways it tasted nice...so I would like to share this recipe with you all...If anyone know how to make this recipe better,,Please give me your good thought..



Ingredients:
All purpose flour(maida) 1 1/2 cup
Icing sugar 3/4 cup
Baking powder 1 tsp
powdered Cardamom 3/4tsp
A pinch of salt
Ghee or Unsalted Butter melted around 200gm

Preparation:
Add all the dry ingredients in a large bowl,Mix well.Now gradually add the melted Ghee or butter and knead the flour.Use the ghee as much as required to make dough(the dough will not be very soft. and keep aside covered for 5-6 hours.


Once the dough is done take out ,It will be very hard,so take small small parts of dough and slowly make balls(just like jamoon balls)Make around 30-32 balls.

bake in oven for 10-15 mins..or till the colour changes from clear white to very light brown.Immidatly take out from the oven and keep aside to get it cool.It will be soft when it is hot,,later once it is cool it will be as normal Naan Khattri.

I baked in my bread machine in 3-4 batches..as I am doing this first time...I has not come out very nice(look wise),,,But the it tasted very good.
So the sweet tasty Naan khattari is ready to eat...This is Indian dessert..but you can eat this sweet anytime...Once it is cool store in a airtight jar...can use more that 15day....(If left out)


Note: while baking give a good space between each balls,because it will raise,and will become double in size.Other wise it will stick to each other which happened to me on my first batch.
Also keep an eye on baking process,because if it is over cooked the bottom will be burned very fast.

Cooking oil 2tsp

For topping:
Garlic cloves 5-6
Fresh coriander finely chopped 3-4TBSP
Sesame or poppy seeds 4-5tsp

Extras:
Warm water 1/4 cup(use if the milk in not enough for making soft dough.I used it)
Unsalted melted butter 3tsp for roasting
Cooking oil 1tsp for kneading

Preparation:
I have prepared the dough in my bread machine...Which came out very nice and saved my time..It will take 1.30 hours to prepare dough including resting and raising...Just add all the ingredients (mentioned under heading Dough) and keep the function as dough setting, after one and half hour your dough is ready....
Take out the dough from the pan,grease your palm by cooking oil and knead for 2-3 min by adding oil(use oil under heading extras)and cover with plastic sheet.Keep aside again for another 1 hour(or at least 1/2 hour)...
Make paste of garlic(do not make very fine paste)also add finely chopped fresh coriander to it mix well and keep aside.


Now the soft smooth dough is ready to use.

I prepared the naan in normal Tava..you can also prepare in oven and griddle.
Now make 8-9 balls from the dough. Take a ball grease your palm as well as the ball by oil.

and give naan shape to the balls by using hands(you can also roll it on the rolling pin to save time). and spread the garlic paste on top of it(around 1/2tsp) and sprinkle 1/4tsp of sesame,press gently by hand.


heat Tava in medium flame,put the naan ,sprinkle 1/2tsp of melted butter both side


and cook properly..till the dark brown spot arises then transfer it to serving dish,,,

serve the with any kind of your fave side dish.....
If you don't like the toppings then prepare the plain butter naan by with adding any toppings....

Dry Gulab Jamoon

I wish You all a very Happy Christmas All of you.....Enjoy the festival with Dry Gula Jamoon.....

Actually I prepared this sweet on my Kids B'day....but not able to update..Now I got some time to update..as my system is also not working properly..Anyways...I always prepare gulab Jamoon,,but never tried Dry Jamoon.So this time thought of doing Dry jamoon,,,and it turned nice..



Ingredients:
Gulab Jamoon Mix 2 cups
Water approx 1cup
Ghee or cooking oil for deep frying+ 2tsp(ghee)
Fine sugar 1cup

For Sugar syrup:
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
3-4 crushed cardamoms (optional)
Saffron 4-5 cloves

Prepare Syrup:
The syrup should be made earlier and kept warm.To make the sugar syrup, mix 2 cups of sugar with 2 cups of water in a deep cooking dish. Add 3-4 cardamom pods, slightly crushed, and saffron cloves, Stir constantly with a spoon on medium heat for 15-18 minutes until sugar is all dissolved in water. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook till the syrup turns thick. Turn off the heat and keep the syrup aside for later us. Transfer this hot syrup into a serving dish.

Take a large sized mixing bowl add the gulab jamoon mix and gently knead by adding water(add around 1/4 cup water first)make soft dough.Do not knead more Cover the bowl and let it stand for about 30 minutes.

Take out the dough and Grease your palm,knead it softly.Form equal sized small balls. It should form about 25 to 28 small balls. Be sure that there are no cracks in the balls and the surface is smooth.

Now mount a large deep-bottomed frying pan on medium heat with the Ghee or cooking oil. When the oil has been heated lower the flame to low. Add about 6-7 balls to the oil and fry till they start to float on the surface of the oil, and their sizes expand to become double their previous size.

When the jamoons turn golden brown remove them from the oil to paper towels to drain. Let cool at room temperature. Fry the jamon in batches of 6-7. When the jamoons have cooled put them into the pot containing the syrup.Use a spatula to gently squeeze the jamoons to let them soak up the syrup. You can serve immediately or refrigerate for about an hour or two to serve chilled.

To make Dry Gulab Jamoon:

Once the cooked jammon balls are cool

dip it in the sugar syrup for about 2 hours


and then take out from the syrup, roll it in the fine sugar bowl,make sure the balls are coated with sugar fully


and the Dry Jamoon is ready to serve..Make this dry jammon and serve immediately....which will give more taste...
