गोडाचा शिरा


सर्वांना गुढीपा२ डव्याच हार्दिक शुभेच्छा! खरं तर मला उशीरच झाला शुभेच्छा द्यायला पण सध्या नियमित पणे ब्लॉग वर लीहायला वेळच मिळत नाही. असो तर गुढीपाडव्याच्या निमित्ताने आमच्या घरी गोडाचा शिरा झाला. भारतात तर गुढीपाडव्याची मजा काही औरच असते. सकाळी सकाळी गुढी उभारणं मग पुजा करुन देवाला गोडाचा नेवेद्य दाखवणं आणी मग सगळ्यांबरोबर गोडाचं जेवण करण, असा सागर  संगीत हा सण साजरा व्हायचा. 

मला आणि माझ्या मुलांना अगदी मनापासुन आवडणारा गोडाचा शिरा करायला पण एकदम सोपा. गोडाचा शिरा फक्त सत्यनारायण च्या   प्रसादा पुरता मर्यादित राहिलेला नसुन आजकाल सकाळच्या नाश्त्याला किंवा संध्याकाळच्या न्याहारी ला देखील केला जातो. फक्त एरवी केलेल्या गोडाच्या शिऱ्याला प्रसादा सारखी चव येतच नाही. चला तर मग सुरु करूया साहित्य आणि कृतीला. 

साहित्य 
१ कप बारीक रवा 
१ कप साखर 
१ १/2  कप दुध 
१ कप पाणी 
२-३ काजु तुकडे केलेले(ऐच्छीक)
२ वेलदोडयाची पुड 
४ टेबल स्पुन तुप 
बारीक चिमटी केशर(ऐच्छीक)

कृती 
प्रथम रवा कोरडाच भाजुन  घ्यावा(साधारण ५-७ मिनिटे). थोडा रंग बदलला की त्यात तुप घालावे, मग तुपावर  मंद आचेवर चांगला खमंग(गुलाबी रंग होईस्तोवर) भाजुन घ्यावा.

 रवा भाजत आला की त्यात काजुचे तुकडे घलवेत.   रवा भाजेपर्यंत दुध आणि पाणी एकत्र करुन गरम करून घ्यावे. हे गरम केलेले दुध-पाणी भाजलेल्या रव्यात घालावे. झाकण ठेवुन एक वाफ आणावी . नंतर साखर घालुन व्यास्तीत ढवलावा .

 पुन्हा झाकण ठेवुन ४-५ वेळा वाफ काढावी. साधारण मंद आचेवर १०-१२ मिनिटे शिजू द्यावा फक्त मध्ये मध्ये चमच्याने हलवावा.  शिरा शिजल्यावर त्यात वेलची पुड आणि केशर घालावे. गरमागरम गोडाचा शिरा तयार!

Guide to Green Leafy Vegetables

 The idea for this post came from one of my dear friend. She one day asked me what kind of green leafy vegetables you make. I said to her that I make quite a few. She suggested why don't I post pictures and names of the leafy vegetables that we get here in US. I liked her idea and started writing this post. Just a note that I have mentioned only the ones that I have used in my kitchen. There are plenty of leafy greens out there to try! In marathi we call all leafy greens as पालेभाज्या. My mom makes variety of greens but living in US we might not get all of them as in India. I shop for groceries in a Korean store but they carry all Indian vegetable variety plus all other Indian groceries.  I tried some new leafy greens and tried to make Indian/Marathi style recipes. I have listed names of few greens that I normally cook with. Swiss Chard Young Radish Mustard Greens or Sarson/सरसों का साग  Red Shen Choy/लाल माठ  Gongura/Sour Leaf/आंबाडी Spinach/Palak Methi/Fenugreek Le...
