Janmashtami Special

Wishing You all a very Happy Janmashtami / Gokulashtami.

Today being a special day for Dear Lord Krishna, I made a few of his favourite preparations at home, to be enjoyed by the Lord & us too :-)

Pal Payasam :
This recipe i have posted already & here is the link -
Pal Payasam . This is how i normally made my Payasam & its a favourite at home too...

Goddu Phovu (Sweet Aval)



Phovu (Konkani), Aval (Tamil) and Beaten Rice (English) is used in many preparations - From Aval payasama, to Batata Phova to dosas.. its used widely. I used this to make Goddu Phovu. This is a Konkani Preparation made by us for all good occassions. Its easy & tasty to eat too...


Ingredients:
Phovu ( Thick Aval)- 2 cups
Jaggery - 1 cup ( or more acc to your taste)
Coconut - 1 cup
Channa Dhal - 1/4 cup
Til - 2 tsps ( optional)


Method:

1. Mix the Phovu & coconut by hand in a wide mouthed bowl for 10 mts till it becomes little soft.


2. Put the jaggery in a pan & add 1/4 cup water & dissolve it. Then bring it to a boil & 1 string consistency. Let it cool down completely.


3. Dry roast the Channa dhal on a medium flame till it becomes golden brown.. it takes a few minutes. (If you do on a high flame chances of burning the channa dhal are high, so be carefull!!) Powder it coarsely & set aside.


4. If using Till dry roast it for a minute or two.


5. Now add the jaggery syrup to the Phovu & coconut mixture & mix everything well with your hands.


6. Now add the roasted & powder channa dhal & til & mix well...


Godu Phovu is ready to be served!

hey, good to see you back, blogging. I like beaten rice and jaggery combo. Addition of channa dal is interesting. Got to try that.

Belated Happy Janmasthami to you. We Konkani's also make this dish consisting of 5 items and call it panchkadayi.

I knew it by the name panchkadayi. Godu Povu in my home means a mixture of thin pova, sugar, coconut and ghee. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to you and family.
