The festival of Bhai Dooj or Bhai Phota is celebrated by Hindus on the last day of the five-day-long Diwali festival. On this day, sisters pray for their brothers to have long and happy life by performing 'Aarti' and 'Teeka' ceremony. In return brothers bless their sisters and treat them with gift and goodies. On Bahi Dooj sisters invite their brothers for a sumptuous meal, often including their favourite dishes.
I hope on this special occasion of Bhai Dooj my dish would be prepared by you all to treat your brothers in a special way.
Ingredients -
Rasgulla tinned - 1
Milk - 1 1/2 lt
Sugar - 5 tbsp
Green cardamom crushed - 4-5C
Cashews chopped - 5-6
Almonds - 5-6
Pistachios -5-6
Chiroli ( chironji) - 2 tsp
Silver leaf - 1
Method -
Take milk in a heavy bottomed frying pan (karahi) and put it to boil in a medium heat.
When it has boiled put sugar in it and reduce the flame. Let it simmer on a low heat stiring it continuously so it does not stick or burn.
keep boiling the milk, stiring it until it has reduced and come down to around 1/2 lt.
It should become thick and curdle a bit. Add the cardamom powder and chopped nuts (save some for garnishing).
Now your Rabri is ready to use.
How to proceed -
Take a big serving dish. Open the tinned rasgulla and squeeze the juice out of it.
Break it into two pieces and arrange all the rasgulla in the same manner on the serving dish.
Pour the rabri evenly on it when it is still warm.
Garnish it with silver leaf and nuts on top. Refrigerate it for 1/2 an hour before serving.
Serve it to your guests, friends and family members on this beautiful occasion and enjoy.
