The mushy sweetness of cooked apples and the crunchy nuttiness of walnuts are a made-for-each-other match. Here, this admirable duo comes to you in the form of a tasty Apple Halwa prepared with sautéed apples, mawa and milk cooked with sugar and walnuts. While this gives the perfect flavour and texture, a dash of vanilla imparts an aroma that kids cannot resist. You could prepare this as an after-school tiffin for your kids, or as an anytime treat for your whole family, but make sure you serve it within an hour or preparation after which the flavours tend to wane.
Sweet and sour, salt and spice, every experience needs to be coupled with a complementary, often contrasting experience in order to bring out the best of both. Likewise, a chaat platter must be finished off with a rich dessert in order to complete the enjoyment. And, what better mithai can you choose than our ever-popular Gulab Jamun! This recipe tells you how to make authentic Gulab Jamun, not with any readymade mixes, but with special hariyali mava, which gives the traditional sweet its rich mouth-feel and intense flavour.
