I just love Puran Polis. They also go by the names Holige (in Kannada), Bobbatlu(in Telugu), Poli and Obbattu(in Tamil). Usually, during Ganesha Chathurthi, my whole day consists of eating only these sweet delicacies.

Today, being Ugadi and it’s time for these ‘Bobbatlus’ again as part of the festival menu. Here in Karnataka, Holige, as they are called, is a main item in a list of special dishes perpared during the festival.

This video is by Sudha shows you how to make Puran Poli (with Dhal). So enjoy Ugadi and also include this as part of your other festival and special occassions. If you live in Bangalore, don’t forget to call me when you make them

Mysore Pak is such a unique name. When I was a kid, I thought that this South Indian sweet came from Mysore and it was a type of Pak (betel nut in Tamil).

Later I realized that it nowhere close to the Tamil ‘Pak’. Well forget the history. If you’ve eaten one of these sweet cubes more than once you’d have see that there are more than one version of it. Either it is hard or it is too soft (like the popular Krishna Sweets version).

I decided to post this video from Youtube after more than a year of posting a recipe for Mysore Pak in this blog. A gentleman called Srivatsa had commented of an easier way of making it and therefore, here it is. He shows you the best possible way of making wonderful Mysore Paks.

You can also find lots of other traditional Sweets from Indian Food Kitchen main site.

I’m no expert in Indian food history, but I can sure eat a boxful of Rosogollas in one sitting! In Kolkata and other parts of Bengal, Haldiram’s, KC Das and other Sweet makers serve these sweets in a cay cup with lots of sugar juice.

In the following video, Manjula shows you the step by step guide to making Rosogollas at home. Enjoy this holiday weekend and welcome the New Year with this delicious dessert.

The Holiday mood that started with Dasara and Diwali continues into the year end with Christmas and New Year. Christmas is celebrated with the same gusto as other festivals in India.

In the video that follows, Anuja and Hetal make a delicious Chocolate Cake minus the eggs. So enjoy this Christmas with this delicious cake and spread cheer all around!

This has to be one of the fastest recipe videos (just over a minute). The host makes it look so easy cutting the bananas, freezing them and finally you get a banana ice cream.

The Chef here uses no sugar (banana has got lots of sugar in itself); the only ingredients are bananas, milk and sugar. Awesome! Especially if you are health and fat-conscious.
