How to make Rasgulla at home from 2 liters of milk: a recipe for soft and fluffy sweets

Although you may have tried various types of cheela, have you tried methi and spinach cheela? If not, we will tell you a simple recipe that allows you to quickly prepare a tasty and healthy cheela for breakfast at home.

Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. Therefore, it is very pleasant when breakfast is both delicious and healthy. Methi and spinach cheela is exactly such a dish, made from chickpea flour (besan), green leafy vegetables, and spices. Methi and spinach not only improve the taste of the food but also enrich the diet with necessary nutrients.

Preparing this dish at home is simple, and it can be served for breakfast to everyone, from children to adults. Let's learn how to make methi and spinach cheela and what ingredients you will need for it.

To begin making methi and spinach cheela, thoroughly wash the methi and spinach leaves. After removing excess moisture, chop both greens finely. Then take a large bowl and add besan to it, mixing it with the chopped methi and spinach leaves.

Next, add turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and ajwain (ajika) to this mixture. You also need to add finely chopped onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, green chili, and fresh green onion. Add salt to taste and mix all components thoroughly.

Now gradually add a little water to make the batter. It is important to monitor the consistency: it should not be too thick or too thin. Mix well so that there are no lumps in the besan.

To cook the cheela, heat a pan and grease it with a little oil. Using a large spoon, pour the batter onto the pan and spread it into a round shape. Cook over medium heat. Add a little oil around the edges. When the cheela turns golden and is well cooked on the bottom, flip it. Fry it on the other side as well.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the hot methi and spinach cheela with green chutney, yogurt, or tomato sauce.

Modern expensive shampoos and hair care products often contain many harmful chemical substances, such as sulfates and parabens, which weaken the hair from the inside. This leads to hair loss, premature graying, and loss of shine. If you strive for strong and clean hair without chemicals, you can apply a traditional method known since ancient times. The combination of retta and hibiscus flowers is a real blessing for hair: retta provides deep cleansing, while hibiscus makes hair soft, thick, and shiny.

Below is a simple instruction on how to prepare this remedy at home.

The following ingredients are needed for preparation: 10-12 dried rettas (without seeds), 5-6 fresh or dried hibiscus flowers, 4-5 hibiscus leaves (optional), 3-4 cups of water, and 1 tablespoon of shikakai or amla powder (if available).

First, you need to remove the seeds from the retta and soak it together with the hibiscus flowers in 3-4 cups of water overnight in one container. In the morning, this mixture should be placed on the stove and slowly boiled for 15-20 minutes so that all the beneficial substances from the retta and hibiscus dissolve in the water. When the mixture thickens and the retta becomes soft, turn off the heat and let it cool. Then, it should be thoroughly rubbed (crushed) by hand and strained. (It is advisable to separate the foaming and smooth liquid).

Your homemade natural herbal shampoo is ready. When washing your hair, apply it to wet hair, gently massage the scalp, and leave it on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse with clean water. This natural shampoo can be stored in an airtight bottle in the refrigerator for up to one week.

During holidays or fasting days, the absence of sweets makes any celebration incomplete. There is often concern about impurities in store-bought confectionery, and making mawa or long milk reduction seems like too much trouble. In such situations, milk roll barfi, which can be made from just one glass of milk, is an ideal option for obtaining a pure and tasty dessert without unnecessary complexity or time commitment.

This barfi, made from just one glass of milk, a small amount of dry milk, and ghee, looks as luxurious as expensive store-bought desserts, and its crumbly texture melts in your mouth. It is easy to prepare for any holiday or during a fast. Below is the simplest instruction for its preparation.

The following ingredients are needed for preparation: 1 glass of boiled milk (whole cream), 2 tablespoons of pure ghee, 1/2 cup of sugar (or powdered sugar to taste), 1/2 teaspoon of green cardamom powder, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cashews, almonds, and pistachios (for garnish), a pinch of saffron or gold leaf (optional).

First, in a pot, without turning on the gas, mix 1 glass of milk, 2 tablespoons of ghee, and 2 cups of dry milk, stirring thoroughly with a whisk or spoon so that no lumps remain. Then place the pot over low heat and stir constantly. After 3-4 minutes, the mixture will begin to thicken.

When the mixture thickens to the consistency of mawa, add the sugar and cardamom powder. As the sugar dissolves, the mixture will become slightly more liquid, but with constant stirring for 2-3 minutes, it will start to detach from the bottom of the pot.

As soon as the mixture forms a kind of lump and stops sticking to the sides of the pot, turn off the heat. It is important not to cook it for too long, otherwise the barfi will become hard and dry. After this, let the mixture cool slightly. On oiled parchment paper or a plate, spread out the mixture and shape it into an elongated form or distribute it in a square. Stick the finely chopped nuts on top. Wrap the roll in parchment paper and leave it for 15-20 minutes to stabilize. After setting, cut it into round pieces. The finished soft and crumbly milk roll barfi is ready to eat.
