Microwave Mango Kalakand [Indian Mango Fudge]
I love microwave recipes!! This one was an experiment that was a huge success, took me just 8 minutes to make and was glorious, gratifying and delicious ... a perfect mithai/barfi for that special occasion. I made it last night for Raksha Bandhan and there is hardly any left.

Holige [Sweet Paratha with Coconut And Jaggery]

Poha Chivda [Beaten Rice Savoury]
Poha Chivda is a savoury delight made of beaten rice and is a very popular snack in most Maharashtrian households. Prepared during Maharashtrian festivals, it counteracts the sweets offered during the same. I have fond memories of Poha Chivda from back in my school days. It used to be a lunchbox constant of one of my closest friends. She used to often bring along a pickle with it to spice things up.

This is a gorgeous, rich looking, golden coloured "mithai" perfect for Diwali/Deepavali, the Indian Festival Of Lights. It smells absolutely fantastic and fragrant too. It is time consuming but well worth the effort.

Instant Microwave Milk Burfee [Indian Milk Fudge]
I think this recipe is the motherlode of traditional Indian sweet recipes. It is quick, takes only 7 minutes in the microwave and tastes as good as the barfi [burfee/fudge] that you buy from the mithaiwala [sweets vendor] at every nook and corner on the streets of India.
