L ast week after seeing so many mouth watering pics of Diwali sweets in many blogs and  FB posts, I was like, I have to make something to satisfy my sweet tooth and so here I am, with an amazing post. First, I was not sure of what I wanted to prepare, but when I was scrolling through my fb post, I saw Pavithra of “dishes from my kitchen” uploading a pic of this lovely dish. As soon as I saw it, I decided that this will be my next post and here it is. A perfect festive dish. Apple jilebis are fritters soaked in sugar syrup. The sweetness from outside and soft apple inside is a lovely combination. The consistency of the sugar syrup is that of gulab jamun. If you want you can add little bit of red colour to the syrup. Not only almonds, pistachios or saffron can also be sprinkled on top of these jilebis. Just try this out. Ingredients: Apple- 2nos Maida- 1 cup+2 tbsp Cinnamon Powder- 2tsp Curd- ¼ cup Water- as required For Sugar Syrup: Water- 1 ½ Cups Sugar- 1 Cup Cardamom Powder- 1 tsp Fo

Hello friends… This month, my little space is turning 5. Time is flying.. Feels like it was a few days back that I decided to start blogging my experiments with food. It is all your love and support that got me here. A million thanks to all who took time to visit my blog, FB page, like it and comment on my recipes. And many more thanks to all my blogger friends who has been my inspiration and many of them who helped me by inviting to blogger’s meet, workshops, doing guest posts and so on. I am also thankful to my husband and daughter for letting me spend time on these things and also for being the first critics of whatever I prepare. I feel quite accomplished to have added so many recipes in the blog, especially because I did not know anything about cooking back in 2005 when I got married. All my cooking process was done over the phone with my mom and m-i-l and used to get a fat bill from BSNL and Airtel :-) In these 5 yrs, lots of things happened in my life. Working as a kindergarten
