Badly wanted to eat peanut butter y’day night & done that.
Recipe :
Roasted Peanuts – 1 Bowl & Grind them well.
Then add 2 Table Spoons of Oil, Grind them & now add 3 Spoons of honey, 1/4th table spoon of salt (Add accordingly based on the quantity of peanuts)

Best summer healthy drinks to keep your immunity strong and increase your stamina. Also it helps to control % of water in body + helps to avoid dehydration.
Check below video. You can prepare within 5 minutes end enjoy it
Ice tea
Blue moon drink
Mint Lemonade
Watermelon mint mojito
Cucumber cooler
Jeera pani
htt.../m.
Other best options are buttermilk, lassi, dahi, fruits and their juices, lemon water, shikanji, glucose water, sugarcane juice, soda etc..
I have made all these except cucumber cooler, might try that 
- Milk* – 1 Liter
- Sugar – 2 Cups*
- Lemon – 2-3 Tbsp
- Heat milk, stirring occasionally.
- Mix lemon juice with 2 tbsp of water. Line a colander with muslin cloth/dupatta/cheese cloth.
- Once, the milk boils, switch off the flame. Wait for 30 seconds, add about ½ of the lemon mixture and stir well.. It should start curdling. Add a few more drops and stirring again.
- Once the milk is curdled and greenish whey is out. Pass it through the cheese cloth lined colander.
- Wash the chenna with some cold water. This will remove the lemon thing and will also help in making soft chenna.
- Gather the sides, and lightly squeeze the chenna. Dont apply much pressure. Lightly squeeze. After that, hang this for 30 mins in a kitchen tap or a cupboard.
- While the chenna is hanging, take a pot which is wide and is deep. The more the deeper and wider, the better! I took a cooker which is of 3.5l. Any pot works as i dint close the lid of it.
- Add 10-11* cups of water to the cooker and 2 cups* of sugar. Heat that up!
- Take the chenna out from the cheesecloth, it should be dry* but moist*. Start kneading this.
- Kneading time depends upon the quality of milk. I wont give a specific time, just knead until it gathers all together, no lumps and bumps are there. And some fat will start releasing, as soon as it starts releasing, stop there and make balls. Make smooth round balls of about 1" diameter.
- You would need atleast 4" of sugar syrup in the pot you are cooking and atleast 10" of width. Calculation behind it is, the 1" will expand into 2", and you atleast need 2" more for the rasgulla to swim in the syrup to ensure it is round. The more the height and width, its better!
- Now when the syrup is boiling, add the balls into it and cover it. Setup a timer of 15 mins! The water should be continuously vigorously boiling.. I keep the flame on the higher side!
- After 5 mins, open the lid once, and stir with utter care. Cover and do the same after 10 mins.
- As soon as the timer rings, transfer the rasgullas to a bowl with a good amount of syrup!
- Now the most patienctic thing, you’ll need to wait for a 6-7 hours..
- After 6-7 hours, it’ll be soft, juicy, moist, spongy, it’ll hold its shape and will be heavenly!
- Serve it cold!

YOUR MAGGIE IS READY.
Recently, we had made Paani Puri at our home and best part was that everything including PURI was Home made. It was amazing, delicious and damn tasty.
Sharing recipe of Puri since it is observed that many failed to make puri properly at home:
1 cup Rawa, 1/2 table spoon (TB) Maida, 1 TB oil, 1 pinch Baking Soda, 1/4 TB salt, 1/4 cup water, Knead Lose Dough and grease that dough with oil… Keep it for 20 minutes covered with a wet cloth…
Rest, making Ragda, Paani etc. Is not that difficult. Hence, due to space constraints, not sharing recipe of the same here.
If you want recipe of that as well let me know accordingly through comment.
Please try it once at home and let me know how your Puris got made. Surprise your family members by making such a delicious and everyone’s favourite dish.
Like it if you appreciate my efforts. Comments of appreciation are also most welcome.
Thank you.
Looks very nice..
