Wheat Bread Jamun


Are you feeling bored at home and are you a sweet lover??? Then here  comes a simple and easy to make sweet dish. You need not go to the store for the ingredients....

We are going to see how to make yummy and healthy wheat bread jamun at home. The reason why i chose wheat bread is that , now-a-days many people have switched to wheat bread from white maida bread so, we might have it at all times at home. 

The ingredients we need are very commonly available at home.
Wheat bread - 4 slices , cut off the crust and corners
little water 
Sugar - 1 cup 
water - 1 cup for making sugar syrup
food colour - orange (kesari colour)
cardamom - 2
Method :
1. Cut the corners of the bread slices.
2. Dip the bread slices in a little water(use a shallow bowl) and take out immediately.
3. Squeeze out as much water as you can.
4. Make a soft dough and roll into small balls.
5. Deep fry these balls in low heat. Remember, these balls will become dark brown very soon,
since it is wheat bread. So, the heat should be sim.

6. Keep the fried balls aside.
7. With the sugar and water, make a syrup in 1/2  string consistency. Add the food colour mixed in little water and also the crushed cardamom seeds in the syrup while it is boiling.





 8. Now, the fried balls would have cooled down. Add them into the syrup, while the syrup is still hot.
    
     *Remember, either the balls or the syrup should be hot, not both.
     *One more important  information i want to tell you is that the balls will not become big after it is  soaked, unlike the regular gulab jamun.
     *You can eat these brown jamuns within half an hour of soaking in the sugar syrup.
     *If you are expecting a sudden guest, you can treat them with these brown jamuns in no time....

  1. Instead of cardamom seeds you can use cardamom powder so that you dont get to bite on the seeds when you eat Jamuns and when you make bread balls you can put a peice of pista and then roll it into a ball, this will give you a different flavour. Try it!

Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life.  I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as

Whole Wheat Bread Without Yeast

My Recipe for today is Whole Wheat Bread without yeast / Pain sans levure  !  When I ordered my groceries this time, bread was not available at the store.  So, I thought of baking bread with the ingredients I had at home.  This is the first time ever I am trying baking a small loaf of bread and I did not have a loaf pan either. So, I have used a square container which measures 4 cups. If you have a loaf pan, please use that, but the measurements i have given below will not be enough to make the size of a store bought loaf and the baked loaf will be upto 3/4th of the loaf pan.  You will need the following ingredients that will be easily available at home. Wheat flour - 2 cups, leveled ( I used the normal wheat flour, that I use to make chapathi at home) Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp Whole Milk - 6 tbsp + 2 tbsp + a little for brushing at the end Water - 6 tbsp Sugar - 1 tbsp ( I did not use powdered sugar) Yogurt - 1/4 cup, nicely beaten (I used homemade thick and creamy

Pillayar Nombu ellai maavu

Pillayar Nombu is celebrated in honour of God Pillayar  (Ganesha) by the Chettiars  on the 21st day after the Thirukkaarthigai Deepam, when Sashti Thithi and Sadayam (also called Shatabhisha) Nakshathra come on the same day. In US, it comes on Dec 26th, 2014. To make the ellai maavu , you will need Raw Rice - 1 cup Jaggery grated - 1/2 cup To prepare the rice flour, first soak the rice in water for 2 to 3 hours. Then drain the water and spread it on a paper towel or white cloth and let it dry for 20 minutes. Now, the when the rice is still wet, grind it in a mixie , into a powder. Sieve it and collect the coarse powder and grind it again and seive it. Repeat this until very less coarse powder is left.                                     In a pan, put the jaggery and add 2 tbsp of water and heat it until the jaggery dissolves completely. Now, sieve it in a tea strainer and collect the jaggery syrup. It should neither be too thick nor too thin.
