Chum Chum – SFC #3

December 22, 2013 By


Bengali  sweets are always favorite among sweet lovers  . These are so addictive and most of the sweets are chenna / paneer based Like Rasgulla, Chennar jelabi , Chum chum . When I saw that this month we where going to make a very delicious bengali dessert for Sweet fantasy club I was so excited and was so happy to make this yummy sweet which I make them often at home for any festivals .Thanks to preeti for suggesting this yummy sweet this month for our Fusion challenge . 

As you all know I have joined this new  group “Sweet fantasy club” whose brain child is preeti  ,a wonderful blogger author of “ Simply tadka” . This is our third challenge under fusion Dessert was an Chum chum  . This month too preeti has chosen two wonderful indian and international  sweet and dessert , thanks preeti for this wonderful challenge again. My H loves this chum chum a lot and this one is our family fav .Moving over to the recipe..

Ingredients 


For chenna/paneer
8 cups (half gallon) milk
1/4 cup lemon Juice 


For Chum Chum:
Paneer/chenna prepared with 4 cups or 1 liter of whole milk
2 1/2 cups – sugar
5 cups – water
saffron strands few


For serving 
Rabri – as needed
Pistachios 
Desiccated Coconut
Tutti Frutti

Method 


For preparing chenna/paneer

  • Mix lemon juice in half cup of hot water and keep it aside .
  • Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, making sure not to burn milk.
  • As the milk comes to a boil, add the lemon juice gradually and stir the milk gently. The curd will start separating from the whey, turn off the heat.
  • Once the milk  is curdled, drain the whey using a strainer lined with cheesecloth, or muslin cloth.
  •  Wrap the chenna in a muslin cloth, rinse under cold water, and squeeze well. This process takes out the sourness from the lemon.
  •  To take out the excess water, press the wrapped paneer under a heavy pan for about 1 hour.
  • To test if sufficient water has been removed out of the paneer, take a little piece of paneer in your palm and rub with your fingers. You should be able to make a firm but smooth ball, after 15-20 seconds of rubbing.

For the syrup

  • In a wide saucepan, bring 5 cups of water and sugar to a boil.  Use a large pan as the Chum Chums will double in volume while cooking in the syrup.

To Make chum chum

  • Place the drained paneer on a dry, clean surface and knead it for 3 to 4 minutes until it rolls into smooth soft dough. If the paneer is too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water.
  • Divide the paneer dough into 8 equal parts and roll each one into a smooth oval shaped ball.
  • Add the paneer balls to the syrup and bring it back to a boil. Then turn down the heat to medium and cover the pot. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Open the pot cover, turn the chum chums over and cook for another 15 minutes.
  •  Check to see if the chum chums appear firm but sponge-like (with little holes on the surface). Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove the chum chums from the syrup.
  • Serve chilled!!

Serving options

  • Cover every Chum Chum with a few pieces of sliced pistachios
  • Roll the chum chums in dry powdered coconut
  • Top them  some malai / rabri on Chum Chum.

Tips

  • Cardamon and rose essence can also be added for more flavor.
  • I made my Raj bhog the same way except the shape

Utanki – Andhra Spl (Sweet crispy rice roll)

December 15, 2013 By

This  Post is for Indian cooking challenge , For November month Srivalli had chosen this very traditional andhra spl sweet crispy rice roll which is called as utanki . This is so simple to look but is the most trickiest one . I tried my best to get the perfect shape but was noth happy with the way they looked . Even though I was not happy about the shape it tasted just yumm and we enjoyed this snack. Thanks to Srivalli for choosing this very new and traditional recipe for this month.

Even though the process is long it is worth trying it once in a while . This snack was super crispy and so delicious sweet . The only thing is it is most trickiest to make as we will have prob in forming the strings at the first but as you try and practice you can achieve the perfect shape. For first trial I think it was worth trying but i had only 2-3 some what perfect shaped Utanki. There are so less ingredients and very easy preparation now the tricky part is only when we fry and perfect consistency of the batter matters to make it looks perfect. I had tried my best so here comes the recipe.

Adapted from Divya
           
Ingredients

Rice- 2 1/2 cups
Sugar- 1 cup ( adjust according to your taste)
Milk-1 cups
Oil- for deep frying

Method

  • Soak the rice overnight and drain the water using a strainer .
  • Grind the rice in a blender  to make a fine powder. 
  • Sieve the powder to remove coarser grains. 
  • If there are  any coarse grains collect them and grind them again.
  • The powder should be smooth in texture.
  • Now in a bowl add sugar, milk and rice flour mix well till sugar melts.
  •  Keep it aside for 3 to 4 hours to ferment . I kept it over night.
  • Then take that  mixture into Indian grinder or a blender, again grind them it for till smooth . The batter should not be too thin or thick, it has to be medium. 
  • One way to check this is put your hand into the batter and take it out. Then batter should form like a string from each finger.Now transfer into a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a sauce pan / wok .
  • Now dip the hand in to the batter, and move the hand in anti clock wise for 3 to 4 times or till a disc. 
  • The batter should fall in strings if it falls like boondi don’t worry continue doing it as this need a lot of practice . Rotate the hand 3 to 4 times till o form a thick layer of strings.
  • Let it fry for 2 minutes till the color changes to light brown.Turn into other side till color turns to light brown (Don’t let it fry more time then it will become very dark)
  • Remove the rice crispy roll from oil and place on paper to remove excess oil. 
  • Then immediately fold that roll in a rolling pin.

Tips

  • I made only half the quantity from the above recipe . If the batter is thick, the strings will fall as thick balls and you won’t be swirl like how it is shown in the pictures.
  • The process very  quick , so be ready with your spatula, another ladle along with your rolling pin, to roll it quickly to form the spirals.
  • Allow the rolls to cool then enjoy this sweet snack .

Mango Pudding – Veg version

November 10, 2013 By


Puddings are my favourite desserts , I love them when they are not too heavy and lite to eat and the mango flavor is the one i love the most in desserts .Mango is my favourite fruit which is naturally sweetened and so yummy as is but i like to experiment them in desserts. I always crave for mangoes in fall and winter and so I buy a can of mango puree to make some dessert out of it this helps a little to reduce my craving level . So this time I made a lite not too heavy pudding which was a heaven to me , they tasted so delicious .

Using of mango custard pd in this was a very nice combo and added the extra flavour to this pudding .They were super lite and melting in mouth . This is complete vegetarian pudding as there is no gelatin used in it. I used agar agar flakes but use can use agar agar pd too. Lets move to this light and delicious pudding .

Ingredients

Mango custard pd – 2 tbsp
1 1/4 cup milk
Sugar- 1/4 cup
Agar Agar (china grass) flakes / agar agar pd- 2 tbsp
Mango puree ( i used can ) -1/2 cup 
Water – 1/4 cup.

Method 

  • In a bowl take custard pd and mix it with 1/4 cup of milk and dilute it without any lumps .
  • In another bowl take water and sprinkle the agar agar flakes in it and set it aside for 10 mins.
  • Then dissolve the agar agar mixture in microwave for 4 mins or till the agar agar dissolves completely (chk them after each min when you are dissolving in microwave ).
  • In a sauce pan heat rest of the milk and let it boil.
  • After it boil’s add sugar, custard pd mixture and mix well .
  • After a boil add agar agar mixture and and mix well till it is well combined .
  • Turn off the flame and let it cool down a bit .
  • When it is lukewarm add the mango puree to it and mix them well.
  • Transfer it to moulds or a glass and leave them to set for at least an hour to 2 .
  • As we are using agar agar it sets well in room temperature but if you want to chill you can even refrigerate.
  • If have set them in moulds carefully transfer them to a plate
  • Garnish it with cherry and serve them chilled.
Tips
  • You can also dissolve the agar agar on a stove to in pan ,basically agar agar takes time in melting compared to gelatin .
  • You can try any flavor strawberry , vanilla with  this recipe.

Lets see how to make this delicious and light  rainbow panna cotta..
Panna cotta is a silky smooth Italian dessert made with cream, sugar, and gelatin But i made use of agar agar (vegetarian gelatin).  This rainbow version is a colorful interpretation of this sweet treat. 

Ingredients
Milk- 2 cups
Geltain – 1 pouch or  agar- agar – 2 tsp
Condensed milk- 1 cup
Sugar- 1 tbsp
vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp
Cherries and sprinklers  for garnish
Method
  • Heat one cup of milk in a pan add gelatin/ agar- agar and bring to a boil.
  • Now add 1 tbsp sugar and stir well. After the boil remove from flame.
  • Now add another cup of milk, vanilla extract and condensed milk and stir them well
  • Now divide this mixture to 6 equal parts in 6 bowls and dye them with 6 colors.
  • Now in a transparent glass first pour red color and then set them for 10 – 15 minutes. 
  • Now proceed the same way with all the colored mixture( Green,yellow, blue , violet respectively). 
  • After pouring each layer let them set in fridge for 10 – 15 mins to avoid the colors from mixing .
  • After completing this process with all the colors set the panna cotta for about 1 hour and then serve them chilled
  • I garnished mine with  cherries and you can also garnish them some whipped cream to get the cloud effect.
  • Voila!!! now your light and fluffy dessert is ready to dig in 🙂
Tips
