Recipe for Eggless Hungarian Tartlets

To prepare eggless Hungarian tartlets, a number of ingredients are required. The base consists of 250 grams of butter, ¼ cup of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ¾ cup of powdered sugar, and ½ cup of cornstarch.

Next, add 2–3 cups of flour, as well as optionally ½ cup of coconut flakes and ¼ cup of sugar. Also needed is ½ – 1 bottle of fruit jam.

First, mix the first four specified ingredients until a creamy consistency is achieved. Then, gradually incorporate the cornstarch and flour into this mixture to form a soft and pliable dough.

Three quarters of the resulting dough should be evenly spread on a greased baking sheet. Jam is distributed over the dough, and then coconut flakes are sprinkled on top. The remaining quarter of the dough is grated over the jam and coconut flakes. Optionally, it can be sprinkled with sugar on top.

The tartlets should be baked for about 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius, or until lightly browned. After removing them from the oven, they are cut into squares; this is when you can check the degree of doneness. If they are not cooked enough, return them to the oven for a few more minutes. The finished tartlets must cool completely before being removed from the baking sheet.

How to make healthy cottage cheese modaks: a recipe from Bhagyashri

During the sacred festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, various types of modaks are prepared in many homes to please Bappa. However, there is often concern about impurities in sweets sold in the market, and modaks with muesli or sugar syrup contain too many calories.

If you are looking for something pure, healthy, and quick to offer to Bappa this time, you can try a simple and healthy cottage cheese modak recipe from the famous Indian actress Bhagyashri. These modaks, made from fresh cottage cheese, dried nuts, and natural sweetness, are not only melt-in-your-mouth but also very healthy.

The following ingredients will be needed for preparation: fresh cottage cheese (grated or mashed) — 1.5 cups; condensed milk or powdered cane sugar/sugar candy powder — 1/2 cup; milk powder — 2 tablespoons (for binding); ground cardamom — 1/2 teaspoon; saffron strands — 8-10 (soaked in 1 teaspoon of milk); ghee (clarified butter) — 1 teaspoon; finely chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios) — 2 tablespoons.

First, grate the fresh and soft cottage cheese, then mash it with your palms for 2-3 minutes until you achieve an absolutely smooth and velvety consistency. Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a non-stick pan. Then add the prepared cottage cheese and condensed milk (or cane sugar/candy powder) and mix. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes.

Next, add the milk powder, saffron milk, and ground cardamom to the mixture, and mix thoroughly. Continue cooking until the mass starts to detach from the sides of the pan and forms a lump. Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a plate to cool slightly.

Grease the modak mold with a small amount of ghee, sprinkle the chopped nuts into it, and then firmly fill it with the prepared cottage cheese mixture. Open the mold—and your incredibly delicious, pure, and healthy cottage cheese modak is ready.
