Blueberry Chia Pudding

Chia seeds have become one of my favorite ingredients, I add them in smoothies, puddings, oatmeal, cookies and fruit Popsicles too. Chia seeds are full of fiber, Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates and calcium. On the other hand Blueberries are the most nutrient dense berries which contains Fiber, Vitamin C and K. 

Blueberries and Chia seeds make a great combination to make smoothies or puddings. Today I am here with a great pudding recipe with these 2 Ingredients, which is perfect as  a breakfast, dessert or snack. I have used fresh banana and blueberries for the recipe but, it would taste best if you use frozen berries and banana for the recipe. You can use honey or sugar instead of dates for the sweetness. 

This recipe goes to the 3rd week, day 2 of BM 74 under the theme " Are you Pudding me?"




Ingredients:


Blueberries 1 cup
Banana 1 small
Chia seeds 1/2 cup
Dates 5 
Almond Milk 1 cup

Preparation:


Add all the ingredients except Chia seeds into blender.
Blend until smooth.
Transfer into a bowl and add chia seeds.
Mix well and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Garnish with chopped almonds and blueberries.
Serve.

Kaju Katli / Kaju Burfi

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".
