Preparation Time : 10 min.     Cooking Time : 30 min.    Serving  : 4

4 garlic cloves
1 cinnamon stick 
2 whole green cardamoms
1 whole onion

For Tikki
1 cup semolina roasted(sooji/rawa) 
1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
2 tbsp oil
1  onions chopped
1 cup chopped mixed peppers (Red ,green,yellow capsicums) 
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste 
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
salt to taste


Dip/Chtuney
1 small bunch of coriander leaves
1/2 cup hung curd
1/2 onion
3 Green chill
1/2 inch ginger
3-4 garlic cloves
salt to taste

Salad
1 small cucumber sliced

METHOD

Meanwhile Heat the oil in a pan add cumin seeds then add onion and sauté the onions till golden brown then add ginger garlic paste, peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Then add sooji and saute for min. 


Add salt and red chili now strain the milk and pour into sooji mixture and whisk until the mixture is thick.
Grease a plate with oil and pour the mixture into the tray and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the tray in a refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill and set.

For the dip, blend all the ingredients in a blender till smooth.
Cut the bun apply little butter,then dip,keep a slice of tomato then tiiki put onion and cucumber slice and cover with bun.


Serve hot with tomato ketchup or Green dip.




Note
I used salad in slice but can use shredded or grated also because I felt it's easy to assemble and serve.
For tikkies can use any vegetables like carrot,cabbage,beans,green veggies too and paneer also.
If your tikki is breaking in frying then add 2 mashed potatoes in sooji mixture. 



Another way also-
whisk 4 tbsp maida (all purpose flour) with little milk (1/4 cup) to make a light batter. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cumin powder and chili powder.
Dip the tikkies into the batter and roll them in the crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs or poha (pressed rice) and deep fry or shallow fry.

If you are not Calorie  conscious  enjoy with Cheese ....

Sabudana Pizza | Easy Recipe



In our tradition fasting is common but every time same falahar (fasting food) boring so,it's little twist and we enjoyed a lot.
I didn't use Pizza sauce and cheese becoz in fasting these are resticated but if you are not fasting enjoy with Cheese.

Recipe Source
http://www.dailyswadsugandh.com/2013/05/sabudana-pizza-sabudana-pizza-is.html





Ingredients:
1 cup Sabudana (sago)
1/2 cup roasted peanut powder
1 potato
1 tablespoon chopped green chili
2 tablespoon fresh coriander
1/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper( red, green and yellow)
1/2 cup  shredded cheese (or as required)
1/2 cup grated paneer
salt to taste
oil or butter to grease
1/4 cup Pizza sauce (optional) (I didn't use in my pizza)



Method

Wash and Soak Sabudana in 1/4 cup water for 90 minutes.
Then peel the potato, grate it and mix in the soaked sabudana.
Now add green chilies, peanut powder, coriander and salt to the mixer of sabudana and potato.
Mix well to make a ball of dough, add little water if required.

Grease the bottom and sides of the non-stick pan with the oil before placing the dough in it so that the pizza does not stick to the pan.
Place ball of dough in the pan and using a flat palm, press the dough around the pan, starting at the center and working outwards, 
flattening it slightly and spreading oil around the entire bottom and edges of the pan and the dough is evenly spread around the pan to the desired thickness.
place pan over a burner and cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes or cook until dough is browned on the bottom 

(you can see by lifting up a corner with a fork). 
Then Brush the top of the pizza with oil and using a thin spatula, loosen pizza and flip it over.
Immediately spread the sauce onto the base followed by cheese. (I didn't use cheese becoz we are fasting)
Then add the toppings of your choice (green, yellow and red peppers, carrots,tomatoes,paneer etc.) 

Cook until outer crust is brown - about 10-12 minutes.
Remove the pizza and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into slices and serve immediately.




 Note:
You can bake this pizza in the oven similar to other pizzas.
Also you can eat this Pizza in fasting as falahar too but without cheese.

Shahi Tukda Recipe | Bread Recipe


It's Quick n Easy Desert. All time favorable in my house.I remember my Mom always used to do with leftover Bread slices.And another All Delicious Recipes comes from our Moms n Grannies kitchen But name are different. :))



 Ingredients
Serves: 3 Cooking & Preparation Time: 45 mins

4 cups (500ml) Milk 
4 slices Bread 
1 1/2 tbsp custurd powder
Ghee to toast
2 tbsp Nuts (Pista & Badams chopped finely)

For the sugar syrup:
Sugar - 1/4 cup 
Water - 1/2 cup
Method:
Toast the bread with ghee in a non-stick tawa such that it becomes crisp. You can use ur oven or toaster too. It can deep fried in ghee too.keep aside. Cut into desired shape or before roasting also can cut in shape.
Prepare sugar syrup by heating sugar and water in a pan until a syrup like consistency is formed.It should be thick and sticky that's all, don't need to check for string consistency etc.Keep aside.

Boil milk and the custurd powder mixed in 2-3 tblsp of milk and mix into it and simmer the milk until its reduces to a thick but poring consistency.If you want you can add the chopped nuts in this stage.Refrigerate it till use.

Soak each slice in the sugar syrup and arrange it in a plate.Then pour the milk over the bread 
slices to soak well. Garnish with chopped nuts toasted in ghee. Serve immediately.



  Notes:
Deep frying sure is very tasty so once in a while rich indulgence is not a problem...but on low flame and Don't deep fry/toast in oil as it will spoil the taste.
The bread slices should be crispy else when soaked in milk it will become soggy.
If you wish you can cut the sides of the bread.usually I don't remove the sides of the bread.
You can use either white or brown bread. I used brown here.
