Strawberry Phirni

Sorry all for my absence from blogging for 2 weeks as I was busy with some personal work.

I am back now with a very popular North Indian dessert called Phirni. Phirni is also known as rice pudding. Phirni can be made according to one’s taste.




I have made so many dishes out of strawberries, so when my friend bought some, I thought of making phirni out of it.I usually make phirni, as it is easy to make. I thought of adding some strawberries for a unique taste. The red luscious pieces of strawberries is a feast to the eyes.

My mom used to make this, refrigerated and used to serve this when we came back from school. So when I am here for vacations I thought of making this by adding some strawberries and my mom loved this new twist.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
