Indian

Tasty Thursday: Diwali Sweets

Recording of my Tasty Thursday workshops; a regular slot where I offer themed virtual demonstrations of Thermomix TM6. This week, I was delighted to introduce some Diwali Sweets given that Diwali is this weekend.

Please find below the recipes we cooked together today.

Milk Powder Burfi https://onegirlandherthermie.co.uk/milk-powder-burfi/

Motichoor Laddoo  https://onegirlandherthermie.co.uk/motichoor-laddoo/ 

Kulfi and other authentic Indian recipes are available in the Indian Cookbook on my website. As mentioned this was the book that was sold to Indian customers when the Delhi distributor sold Thermomix TM31s.

There were a number of guests on the call today, but only a handful shared their videos. Don’t be shy. Think of these virtual demonstrations as ways for us to interact and for me to problem-solve. It’s much more enjoyable if you have your screen on so I can see your reactions and whether you are enjoying the demonstration …or not.

I am an Independent Advisor, so I pride myself in honestly and looking after my customer base to the best of my ability. You can read my reviews on my Google page here. If you enjoyed the demonstration, then do please leave a review. As a small business, all interactions do raise my profile, so if you don’t mind leaving a comment, I’d be very thankful.

Thank you for sharing my Diwali celebrations with me. 

We all fight together this pandemic, pray for all those families who have lost loved ones, broken relationships, lost jobs and hope the best to come for everyone just as Diwali teaches us that light triumphs over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance.

If you would like to book a demonstration or find out more, please contact me on Ankita@onegirlandherthermie.co.uk or call/text/ WhatsApp me on 07977 563537.

Chapati

Where do I start? Firstly, I think by naming it. Chapati (alternatively spelled chapatti, chappati, chapathi, or chappathi), also known as roti, safati, shabaati, phulka and (in the Maldives) roshi, is an unleavened flatbread from the Indian Subcontinent and staple in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, East Africa and the Caribbean.

Chapatis are made using a soft dough comprising atta flour, salt and water. Atta is made from hard gehun (Indian wheat). It is more finely ground than most western-style whole wheat flours. Traditionally, roti (and rice) are prepared without salt to provide a bland background to our highly flavoured main or side dishes.

Traditionally, chapati dough is typically prepared with atta, salt and water, kneaded with the knuckles of the handmade into a fist and left to proof for at least 10 or 15 minutes to an hour for the gluten in the dough to develop. This is where as a Thermomix owner, life gets easy. In just one and half minutes, all that needing is done.

When they lost the distribution license I with the TM5 launched, I bought their stock and now sell them in my shop. The Indian Chef, Shamim Ahmed worked at the Australian High Commission in New Delhi for 24 years as the Head of Mission Cook was instrumental in producing this book.  If you are a VIP One Girl Customer, you can also purchase a discounted version on my VIP Shop.
