Montenegrin Brav u Mlijeku/Lamb In Milk#EatThe World

Montenegrin lamb in milk is a wonderful and traditional one pot meal dish. It is easy to make and the meat comes out perfectly tender. I have enjoyed this dish when I visited the Balkan countries. The meat & veggies are cooked in milk and that gives this dish a unique taste. I really love the flavor of the fennel in this dish.

Recipe adapted from here
Serves 3 as a complete meal
Ingredients
4 Cloves Garlic - minced
½ Cup Finely Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley - see notes
1 Teaspoon Fennel Seeds/Saunf
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
500 Grams Lamb/Mutton - cut into bite size pieces
1 Cube Veg Seasoning
½ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
1 Teaspoon Whole Black Peppercorns
2 Small Whole Potatoes -
1 Large Carrot - cut into large pieces
1½ Cups Milk
2 Rosemary Sprigs
Method

Using a mortar and pestle place the garlic, flat leaf parsley, half of the black pepper corns and fennel seeds, crush to form a coarse paste.
In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and add in the garlic paste, remaining whole peppercorns cook until fragrant a minute.
Raise the heat and add in the lamb pieces, and brown the meat all over. Remove the lamb and season with salt and pepper.
Add about ½ cup of the milk to the pot and scrape up any browned bits, deglazing the pot for about 2 minutes.

Add the remaining milk, rosemary, seared lamb and its juices as well as the seasoning cube and vegetables. Bring to a simmer and then cover and cook until tender about an hour and more or until the meat is tender.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb and veggies to a bowl and discard the rosemary sprigs.

Boil the milk over high heat until reduced by half.
Puree the milk sauce in the pot with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Put the sauce back in the pot and add the lamb  and veggies back in, simmer until everything is warm.
Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley or coriander leaves.

Serve warm with some bread or steamed rice for a delicious Montenegrin meal. This was so delicious, do try this recipe
My Notes
Did not have Flat Leaf Parsley so substituted coriander leaves in this dish. I have added whole peppercorns to give this dish a fresh pepper taste.

Sukhi Roti Ki Khichdi#SundayFunday

Sukhi Roti Ki Khichdi is a healthy, tasty meal delicious way to use leftover roti/phulka's. Suhki mean dry, here the phulkas are dried wrapped in a cloth and kept in a basket to dry , till they are crisp.

I have kept them for nearly 6 - 7 days. These do not spoil or mildew since they are kept open. You place the basket on fridge top or on the dinning table. This is a healthy meal of Rajasthani/Jodhpur's cuisine, even veggies like cauliflower, cabbage, potato, peas are added along with rice and roti. 

This is quick and easy to prepare using fewer easily available ingredients. This has a nice flavor of whole spices like bay leaf, cloves, black cardamom. You can serve this as a lunch and dinner to your family. It is a one-pot meal you can have with curd or as it is. Everyone will love this one pot meal. 

Serves 2 - 3
Ingredients 
3 Dried Phulka's
½ Cup Basmati Rice
1 Medium Potato - diced
½ Cup Cauliflower Florets
1 Green Chilly - chopped - optional
1 Medium Carrot - diced
¼ Cup Green Peas - can use frozen 
½ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
½ Teaspoon Heaped Red Chilly Powder
1 Teaspoon Coriander Powder
1 Teaspoon Level Salt or to taste
2 Tablespoons Coriander Leaves 
Juice Of One Lime
4 Tablespoons Oil
Whole Spices
2 Bay Leaves
1 Black Cardamom
4 Cloves
4 Black Peppercorns
1 Small Piece Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Cumin seeds
Method

Heat oil in a pressure pan, add all the whole spices, when they crackle add the onions and sauté till they are translucent.

Keto Peach Iced Tea#SundayFunday

Peach iced tea is a perfect and ultimate summer time drink specialty, and it's so easy to make! I am using fresh peach to make this , but can use canned peach nectar, a few bags of black tea, an easy method to make a small batch of iced tea. It's a perfect early morning or late afternoon treat. Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and carry antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Serves 2

Ingredients
For The Peach Nectar
2 Ripe Peaches
1 Cup Water
For The Tea
2 Cups Boiling Water
4 Black Tea Bags
4 Teaspoons Sugar -optional- I did not use
Method

Remove pits from peaches and chop.
Place in a saucepan with water and simmer ten minutes or until soft.
Mash pulp and strain contents of saucepan, discarding solids.
To Make The Tea

Into each glass, add two tea bags and pour a cup of the boiling water into each . Steep uncovered for 3-4 minutes.
Remove tea bags, stir in peach nectar and sugar (if using) into each, then fill the rest of the glass with the chilled water. Cover on the lid and refrigerate at least 4 hours before enjoying or if you want to have it immediately then Serve the tea over ice.

Taste the freshness of peach in every glass of Peach Ice Tea. Packed with the goodness of Vitamin C to boost your mood & energize you throughout the day. 
My Notes

Four regular-sized (single-serving) bags of black tea; two per cup. Since iced tea is, well, iced, it can be watered down, so we use two tea bags per serving instead of one.
I don't drink sweetened drinks so I did not add any sugar to my iced tea.

Eggless Homemade Butterscotch Ice Cream#SundayFunday

Butterscotch Ice Cream is a creamy ice cream dessert with simple ingredients and quick to make with no eggs. Perfect for summer. My hubby loves butterscotch ice cream and requested to make this flavor for our Sunday Funday Event.

Ingredients
1¼ Cup Whipping Cream
1 Cup Full Fat Milk
¼ Cup Sugar
¼ Cup Condensed Milk
¼ Cup Milk Powder
1 Teaspoon Butterscotch Essence
1 Tablespoon Corn Flour
1 Drop Yellow Food Colour - optional
1/3 Cup Butterscotch Chips - see notes
Method 

In a sauce pan add the milk, milk powder, sugar and cornflour, mix well so that no lumps are formed. Place this pan on low flame, stirring continously till boils and starts thicken. When it starts to bubble thicken a little, switch of the flame. Keep stirring till is cools completly and this will also help that no scum is formed on the surface. This is a custard. 

In another large bowl whip the cream till stiff peaks are formed. 

Add in the condensed milk, strain the custrad, butterscotch essence, yellow food color. Whip all this well so that they are incorporated and forms a lump free batter. 

Then fold in the butterscotch chips with a spatuala. 

Pour this into a airthight container and freeze it for atleast 24 hours.

After 24 hours, it looks like this (if you freeze the ice cream in an airthight container you will no ice crystals will form on top).

This is a best butterscotch flavor ice cream which you will love. Scoop and Enjoy!!
My Notes

If you do not have butterscotch chips then make a homemade parline with cashewnuts or almonds at home. Check the recipe to make here.
