BM # 69
Week 1, Day 1
Theme : Kid’s Delight , Anniversary Party
After a month long Cooking Carnival we are back to our regular marathons. The whole of September has been a hectic month. I was out on a holiday to Spain and Holland . Holland is absolutely mesmerizing and trust me I did not want to come back. It is so so beautiful. The villages have small houses, with the prettiest gardens I have ever seen. Life has to move on and one has to get back to the routines, come back to where we belong.
So continuing with life routine I am back with my first week of BM . For this week I have chosen the Anniversary theme and I shall be posting all three sweets. For Day 1 it is Gulab Kheer. Kheers are soft, light and they are a favorite with most kids, at least it has been a favorite with me ever since I remember.
Gulab is the Indian name for Rose, this is one flower which is my favorite. I love the country roses which impart a very sweet fragrance. These are not as pretty as the English roses but you cannot beat the aroma they lend. I love using the fresh and dried roses in my cooking.
Gulab Kheer
Ingredients
500 ml milk

Switch off the flame.
Pulse the dry petals to a fine powder and add to the kheer.
Add rose water after the kheer has cooled down.
