Coconut ladoo

This is one of the easiest sweet done under 15 minutes with only two main ingredients. The highlight of this sweet is it is vegan. Coconut mixed with jaggery and rolled as ladoos. This recipe was shared by my aunt. When tasted could not believe there was no ghee in it. The jaggery in it gave a nice glossy look too. Try this simple recipe if you are out of time......

Milagu Thattai | Pepper thattai

At last, successfully I tried posting two sweet recipes for this Diwali. This was so long in my mind. This is milagu thattai different from elladai or normal thattai which we add sesame seeds. In this milagu/pepper is added for a different flavor. My MIL do this way, my mom does the other way. Will try to post the elladai soon.....

Besan ladoo

Besan ladoo is the easiest sweet. Sweet done under 15-20 minutes. Many dry roast the besan flour and then mix the hot ghee. But when besan flour is fried in ghee the flour enhance the flavor of ghee and taste really good. I was out of cashews so used chopped almonds. The almonds fried in ghee was a wonderful combination.

Stuffed gulab jamoon

Gulab jamoon is the popular Indian sweet liked by everyone. This Khova jamoon is also very easy to prepare as instant jamoons if you get khova in handy. Jamoon prepared with khova is really excellent and cannot be compared with anything....I did the stuffing for nutty and crunchy taste in between. You can avoid the stuffing and do the normal jamoon. 

Jamoon prepared with Khova or Khoya is also called as Kala Jamoon, this type of jamoon is little darker than the regular one. My sister prepares dry jamoon with instant powder and this way too, which is easy for packing and sending gifts. Do try as per your need and taste :)
