Best of Intentions for Gulab Jamun #SundayFunday

By

 


Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. This week, Mayuri's Jikoni is hosting a Diwali Party. 


Diwali is the Festival of Lights, arguably India's most important holiday of the year. The festival's name comes from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that wards off spiritual darkness. This festival is as important to Hindus as Christmas is to Christians though it has grown to encompass non-Hindu communities as well.

Here's the #SundayFunday line-up of creations....

Gulab Jamun

My boys have loved this dessert since the first time they tried it. I have collected recipes from my Indian friends throughout the years; and I even bought the milk powder that was listed in Priya's recipe. I had the best of intentions to make Gulab Jamun for this event, but time got away from me and, after I got my flu shot this week, I had no energy. Boo!


I will be making it soon. I promise. But, in case you are unfamiliar, Gulab Jamun is a dessert made from milk solids and semolina flour. These are formed into balls, fried, and soaked in syrup. It's delicious.


And I can't wait to share the process. Soon. Just not this week. I'm just grateful that I opted not to double up and get the flu vaccine along with my COVID booster. Yikes. That would have been bad.

The #SundayFunday group will be back next week with recipes that celebrate National Caramel Apple Day. I'm hosting. Stay tuned!

    Our family favourite. Nowadays it is easy to make them as we get premix from various Indian companies and also get ready made ones in a can. Those juicy soft balls are such a delight to enjoy during festivals.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
