Winter holiday fun is in full swing, festive cooking, holiday crafts, shopping, visiting theme parks, zoo, watching movies, eating out without counting calories and many more. Now it's time to bid adieu to 2018 and welcome New Year 2019 on a sweet note with Bengali deliciousness, Nolen Gurer Payesh, a sweet creamy concoction of small grain aromatic rice, milk and date palm jaggery.
Nalen Gurer Sandesh is another Bengali Winter Ambrosia prepared with freshly made chana(curdled milk) and flavorful date palm jaggery.
Roshbora/White lentil fritters soaked in date palm jaggery syrup is a popular winter dessert in Bengali household, not sold in stores. Only four ingredients needed and very simple to make. Sugar syrup can be used but date palm jaggery really makes these fritters heavenly delicious.
Dolo, a very popular pitha in winter of Nadia district, West Bengal which is quite similar to Dudhpuli( rice flour dumpling dunked in the thickened milk). My aunt learned from her mother-in-law. My cousin sent me the recipe almost two years back. Finally I made this simply delicious sweet following exact method she provided. All ingredients are easily available.
