Kaju Badam Kulfi ~ Milk Cashew Almond Frozen Dessert


The sun is peeking through here in my part of the globe and we are still in the mood of chill weather. It is a sudden change in temperature that is making it tough to cope. To keep the mood going in summer too, what could be better than drenching in a kulfi. Mind you, this is not just a summer dessert, but can be had anytime of the year.

Kulfi is one dessert that everyone in my family loves to indulge in and kaju-badam kulfi is the first one I made for this season. The creamy texture of whole-milk, the exotic flavors of cashew, and the crunch of almonds combined with a hint of cardamom makes this a rich and heavenly dessert.

Oats Raisin cookies


These raisin studded oatmeal cookies have crisp edges and chewy inners. Oats-Raisin cookies have become our new favorite. The nutty flavor of the oats and chewy texture of raisins will definitely steal your heart. The combination of white and brown sugars here in the recipe results in a rich and chewy cookie. A hint of cinnamon in these cookies makes the whole house scented while baking. The first time I made these cookies, they got vanished with in a while and I was left with few crumbs for my photography.
