MUTANJAN
This is a traditional
sweet dish made on special occasions like festivals and weddings. This recipe
is a bit time-consuming. But every spoonful is worth it. Do let me know in the
comments section after you have tried it.
Ingredients:-
1.
Basmati rice – 1 Cup
2.
Whole Milk – 1 Ltr
3.
Khoya – ½ Cup
4.
Condensed Milk – ½ Cup
5.
Almonds – 8 to 10 (Soaked in water for 1 Hour)
6.
Dalchini – 2 No’s (1 inch Piece)
7.
Green cardamom – 2 or 3
8.
Yellow food color – A Pinch
9.
Ghee – 1 Tbsp
10.
Sugar – 2 Cups
Method:-
Heat a vessel and add ghee. Add Dalchini and cardamom; when
they splutter add the milk; allow it to boil. Add the rice and stir slowly
(rice must be washed and drained) stir continuously on a medium flame. Let the
rice cook till it softens. The rice should not be whole; it should be soft
almost broken. Now add the food color and mix well. Add sugar, condensed milk
and Khoya. The Khoya must be soaked in a cup of Luke-warm water; mix well.
Allow to cook for 2 minutes. The mixture should be continuously stirred to
avoid charring. Check for sweetness; add more sugar if necessary. Remove into a
bowl; garnish with sliced and blanched almonds.
