1 can Caramel condensed milk
500 ml Whipping cream
1 Peppermint Crisp bar/or any mint chocolate bar
1 packet Tennis biscuits (shortbread cookies)/coconut cookies

Method
Beat the cream until stiff. Fold in the condensed milk. Layer the Tennis biscuits in a greased dish. Pour in the filling and grate the Pepermintcrisp over the filling.

Leave in fridge for 2 hours before serving.

Ghajeera:

Rava (Semolina) - 1 1/2 cups
Sugar - 1 1/2 cups or 2 cups for more sweetness
Maida - 1 cup
Cooking soda (baking soda or soda salt) - a big pinch (optional)
Oil for frying

Mix the above rava, sugar and maida with little water. the batter shud be thick without lumps, similar to vada batter so that we rae able to take a scoop and fry in oil. Leave this batter aside for 25 to 30 mins. While frying if u hav cooking soda mix it well in 1/4 teaspoon of water and add to the batter. again mix well and fry till golden brown.

taste after it coosl down else u may find it rubbery when it is hot. Quite easy and tasty.

Hi adrija,i had tried ur receipe,it forms like jelly but it has excess amount of cornflour that is not good for health.Secondly,sugar amount shuld be reduced(i had used only 1 cup and result was good).Do you have any subsitute of cornflour for this receipe?if yes,pls do tell me.

hi navpreet,
its nice to here that u tried the milk sweet .u were asking substitution for cornflour. we can make jelly like milksweet even with chinagrass.we can get chinagrass in general stores. procedure for chinagrass milk sweet also called as blancmange.

10 gms chinagrass, cut finely and soaked for 2 hours in a little water
8 tbspns sugar
1/4 tsp food colour(optional /prefered orange colour)
2 tbsp vanilla essence
almonds

methods:
------
keep milk for boiling,remove from fire and add the soaked china grass. bring to a boil,stirring continuously.add sugar and co0ntinue stirring on a low flame till the mixture thickens.add colour (mixed in milk) ,vanilla essence,chopped almonds and cook for 2 minutes.pour the mixture into moulds and allow it to
set.serve chilled,topped with chocolate sauce(optional)

Hi,
I am forwarding my hit dish an all time favourite at my place and a constant demand for Diwali

All you need is:
! large packet Marie Biscuits
I can of Milkmaid
I cup Dessicated coconut
1 TbspCocoa pd
1 tsp Coffee pd

now grind the marie biscuits in a mixer and mix this powdered bicuits with 1/2 of the milkmaid . add cocoa and coffee pd. mix well in a dough and keep aside. Take the dessicated coconut and mix it with the other half of the milkmaid. Now you have two different coloured doughs in front of you . Take a portion of the brown dough and roll it with a rolling pin . Now take a portion of the white dough and keep it on the rolled out brown dough and roll the white dough to the same size as the brown dough . now once the doughs are spread roll them inwards , and put them in a butter paper and freeze it . Do it with the rest of the doughs. After about an hr, Remove from the freeze and cut it into thin slices and believe me you have a tasty hit dish that youll absolutely love.
