Khichdo - Gujarati Cracked Wheat Sweet

My love for Gujarati cuisine, pulled me again to make a lipsmacking cracked wheat based sweet from this cuisine. Khichdo, an excellent delicious Gujarati sweet dish i have prepared recently for an occasion at home. This fabulous kheer like sweet is prepared in Gujarat during festivals like Makar Sankranti (Uttarayan-a kite festival).  This sweet is prepared specially for this festival which is eaten later and shared with the loved ones and relatives. Its quite a traditional dish and this dish calls for cracked wheat, milk with dryfruits. Some add channadal or toordal or else a combination of these two dals along with cracked wheat. Since i want to give a try with both dals, i went with both channa dal and toor dal. This sweet is a nutritious dish which is served along with peanut chikki and brinjal sabji for Uttarayan special.

Rasawala Bateta Nu Shaak/Rasawala Aloo/Gujarati Aloo Curry

Anything cooked with potatoes will definitely make everyone happy. Dunno why potatoes are our most favourite vegetable, i cant just stop cooking with them. Twice a week, potato curry makes its humble entry in our menu and we just love it. Obviously if i get a chance to cook a different dish with potato i wont miss that chance. I love Gujarati cuisine very much,whenever i love to make a North Indian meal at home, i'll check definitely to make a different dish from this cuisine. I have bookmarked this Rasawala aloo curry from here long back, as this curry aka gravy calls for easy cooking. Very simple to make, this rasawala aloo takes hardly less than 15minutes if you cook this curry in Pressure cooker.
