Coconut Ladoos

Image
A very simple three ingredients dessert Coconut Ladoos taste amazingly good and fresher than the regular sweet shops. It takes around 40 minutes to prepare the whole dish. Try this homemade fresh ladoos as a regular day dessert or for any festival, you will feel happy to serve the fresh handmade dish on the table. Nutritional Value Desserts are always high on calories, in this recipe, the coconut has iron, vitamin, b-6, Dietary fiber whereas the condensed milk has some protein. Here, I have used 300 gms of coconut and 300 ml of condensed milk. Calories*-  60 each Shredded coconut-1000 k cal Condensed Milk- 1000 k cal *calories are an estimation of my cooking.

Samosa

Samosa  When it comes to Monsoon and rainy days all I can think of having a cup of tea with hot Samosa's while it rains outside.  So, for my love for the samosa and for the rains, I have prepared my favorite snack, potato-stuffed samosas. In India, usually in evenings, it's a very common scene in the market, hot samosas coming out of every gulli and people munching on it with lots of chutney or chole. Nutritional Value  This is a high-end calorie food as it is deep fried and it has potato filling in it. For me it tastes heavenly, I will skip a meal but never samosa. People with cholesterol or high BMI should not even see these beauties.
