Deepavali - 2 Days to Go!

We finally completed all the major cleaning and pending the prayer room which will be top priority tomorrow. Sleeves rolled up for one more outstanding goodie ... Nei Urundai (Ghee Balls).

It's not as easy as it seems. You have to put some ghee in a saucepan and bring it to boil. In a separate container, empty a packet of ready made ghee urundai flour and based on your preference, you can add chopped raisins or cashew nuts together. Stir the mixture while you add in the boiling ghee.

Cautiously grab a reasonable amount and roll the dough with your hands into small balls. You can use the excess flour to dust them before serving. It can be served just like that or wrapped in coloured tissues.

 

It's a must have delicacy for us every Deepavali. We normally go with Baba's and I'm not endorsing it.

Our stock ran out so we had to get fresh vegetables for lunch tomorrow and looking at the condition they are in, we just have to make do with it.

And there's always time for a quick train ride too ...
