Orange & Banana Smoothie

This creamy and refreshing smoothie is great for breakfast, after school snack or a mid day snack. I have used low fat vanilla flavored yogurt, you can as well use full fat if serving for kids, or just plain yogurt. My husband usually has smoothies or milkshakes for breakfast. I usually mix up berries and banana, apple and banana or just banana. Tried unique combination of  orange and banana this morning and the smoothie tasted yummy.

Kaju Katli / Kaju Burfi

Image
Kaju Katli also known as Kaju burfi is an Indian dessert made of Cashew nuts and sugar. Kaju Katli  has been in my to do list for a quite some time. Finally I made it for this Diwali. Diamond sweet is one of   my son's favorite sweet, yes " Diamond Sweet " that is what he calls it. The texture was't that smooth that we get in market but the taste was awesome.  Typically, Cashew nuts are soaked in water overnight then ground it into paste and added to sugar syrup to make a smooth dough. Few people make it in different way, make cashew nuts powder and add to sugar syrup. Either ways you make the taste and texture matters. I have followed the 2nd method as I didn't have much time to prepare this for a potluck party.  This recipe  goes to the final day of week 1, Blogging Marathon 81 under the theme " Diwali Savories and Sweets". Here goes the recipe...... Ingredients: Kaju / Cashew nut powder 1 1/2 cup Sugar 1 cup Water 1/2 cup Butter / Ghee 1 tbsp Edible S...
