    Ingredients
      

    • 3-1/2 cups milk
    • 2 tbsp yogurt or use the dry starter you can buy

    Instructions
     

    • Boil the milk and let it cool down to 110 to 120 degree. You can use a candy thermometer to check the temperature, if the milk gets too hot it kills the bacteria in the culture.
    • After milk cools down pour the milk into a bowl that you want to make the yogurt in.
    • Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt from previously home made yogurt or use the dry yogurt starter. Package will tell you how much dry starter to use. Don’t follow the other directions from the dry starter package. Mix the yogurt with milk by stirring gently.
    • Cover the bowl with a light blanket or folded sheet, and keep it in warm place for about 4 hours.
    • After yogurt is set, refrigerate for at least an hour before using.

    Notes

    Tips
    If you prefer more creamy mix ¼ cup of half & half milk or boil the full milk for about 5 minutes longer to reduce the milk in volume to give more creamy texture to the yogurt.
    I have tried using starters from many store bought yogurt including organic or Greek yogurt, and they don’t work. I think because store bought yogurt has many artificial additives.
    Store bought yogurt is more firm because of the pectin.
    Yogurt can be made using 1%, 2% or full milk and full milk yogurt will have more body to it.
    There are two ways to make yogurt creamier. 1) With 3 cups of milk use 1 cup of half & half milk OR 2) boil the full milk for about 5 minutes longer to reduce the milk in volume to give more creamy texture to the yogurt.

    A mouthwatering Recipe to make Vegetable Biryani by Manjula’s Kitchen 

    Vegetable Biryani, a gluten-free delight, is a lavish rice dish featuring spiced vegetables. Enhanced by the alluring saffron aroma, this biryani is a perfect party recipe. Originating from Mughal cuisine, it has seamlessly integrated into Indian kitchens, making it an ideal choice for formal dinners or as a satisfying main meal. Vegetable Biryani is best served with pickles, raita, chutney, and even salads

    Preparing Rice for Vegetable Biryani Recipe: A Fundamental Step 

    To kickstart the vegetable biryani recipe, meticulously wash the rice, ensuring clarity by changing the water several times. This crucial step ensures a clean base for the biryani. For optimal fluffiness, soak the rice for a minimum of 15 minutes before cooking. Once soaked, drain the rice and transfer it to a saucepan. Add water, a hint of oil, and a dash of salt, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil. After achieving a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the rice cook for approximately 15 minutes. The goal is to tender rice with evaporated water. Conclude this biryani vegetable recipe by turning off the heat and delicately fluffing the rice with a fork, creating the perfect base for your vegetable biryani.

    Recipe to make Vegetable Biryani: Marinating Vegetables 

    Begin the recipe to make vegetable biryani by preparing vegetables and blending tomatoes into a puree, laying the foundation for a rich gravy. In a separate bowl, concoct a flavorful mix by combining yogurt, ginger, green chili, salt, turmeric, and chili powder. Stir this amalgamation well before introducing a vibrant array of vegetables—cauliflower, beans, bell pepper, carrots, paneer, cashews, ginger, and green chili. Allow this vegetable medley to marinate in the yogurt-infused blend for a harmonious union of flavors, enhancing the overall taste profile of your vegetable biryani.

    Creating Flavorful Vegetable Gravy: A Crucial Element in Your Biryani Vegetable Recipe 

    To craft the delectable vegetable gravy, commence by heating oil in a saucepan. Gauge the oil’s readiness by adding a cumin seed; if it cracks right away, the oil is prepared. Infuse the oil with asafetida and cumin seeds. Once these seeds crackle, introduce the tomato puree to the pan, covering it to prevent splattering. Cook the tomato mixture on medium-high heat until it reduces by half, exuding a rich, concentrated flavor. At this point, introduce the marinated vegetables to the tomato puree, letting them simmer and meld their tastes for 10 to 12 minutes. Stirring intermittently ensures even cooking, resulting in tender yet distinct vegetables for your biryani.

    Preheating and Assembling: Recipe to make Vegetable Biryani 

    As your culinary masterpiece takes shape, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, creating an ideal environment for the final melding of flavors. Choose a 9″ x 9″ baking glass dish or a similar-sized round bowl as the canvas for your biryani. Commence the assembly by placing half of the cooked vegetables into the dish, forming the first layer of your flavorful creation. Spread half of the cooked rice evenly over the vegetables, creating a balanced harmony of textures. Elevate the aromatic profile by sprinkling mint and garam masala over the rice. Repeat this process with the remaining vegetables and rice, building layers that promise a symphony of tastes in every bite.

    Baking the Perfect Vegetable Biryani: Culmination of Vegetable Biryani Recipe 

    As the assembly reaches its pinnacle, cover the pan, signifying the transition to the baking phase. Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let the magic unfold for about 30 minutes. This careful baking period allows the flavors to intermingle, creating a cohesive and mouth-watering vegetable biryani. The final touch involves sprinkling sliced almonds evenly over the rice, infusing a delightful nuttiness. Drizzle melted butter over the entire dish, ensuring a sumptuous and aromatic finish to your vegetable biryani. The result is a culinary masterpiece that delights the senses and satisfies the palate.

    Indian Peda Sweet Recipes – Manjula’s Kitchen 

    Peda sweet, an exquisite Indian dessert, holds a special place in the hearts of many dessert enthusiasts. The good news is, crafting this delightful treat at home is easier than you might think, especially if you’ve got some whole milk in your kitchen. Now, let’s go step-by-step process on how to make these mouthwatering peda mithai.

    Prepare the Paneer: 

    Start by making paneer by adding lemon juice to half a cup of hot water. Boil milk on medium heat, stirring to prevent burning. When it boils, gradually add lemon juice, stirring gently. Turn off the heat when curds separate from whey. Drain using a cheesecloth-lined strainer, rinse with cold water, and squeeze out excess water. Press wrapped paneer under a heavy pan for 1 hour to remove excess water.

    Get Cooking: 

    Begin by heating a frying pan on medium heat. Once the pan is warm, add a small amount of butter and let it melt until it becomes a golden liquid. Following this, introduce the whole milk into the pan. Sprinkle in a moderate amount of milk powder and incorporate the paneer into the mixture. Thoroughly mix these ingredients together in the pan, ensuring an even distribution. This step helps in the creation of a cohesive and flavorful mixture that will later contribute to the overall texture and taste of the dish.

    Stir, Stir, Stir: 

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, and the key is to keep stirring consistently. Don’t take a break! Keep at it until you notice the mixture changing – it will start to pull away from the sides of the pan, transforming into a dough-like texture. This process usually takes about 12 minutes. When that happens, you’ve successfully created khoya, the essential foundation for making our delicious peda indian sweet.

    Cool Off: 

    Transfer the khoya mixture that you’ve made into a bowl. Let it cool down until it reaches a lukewarm temperature. It’s important not to use it while it’s still hot for the next step in the recipe. Allowing it to cool ensures that the khoya’s texture and consistency are just right for the following stages of the cooking process. This cooling step is crucial to achieve the desired results in your final dish.

    Sweet Blending: 

    Now comes the sweet part! Once the khoya is lukewarm, add in the sugar and cardamom powder. Give it a good mix and start kneading for about a minute until everything blends into a soft dough. A little tip: if you mix the sugar while the khoya is still hot, your Peda indian sweet could turn out a bit too soft. So, let the khoya cool a bit before adding the sweetness!

    Shape It Up: 

    After preparing the khoya mix, divide it into roughly 20 equal portions. Take each portion and shape it into a round ball. Once you have your little balls, gently press them down to create a small, flat patty shape. If you want to enhance the appearance, consider placing a few slices of pistachios on top of each pera sweet. This simple step adds a touch of elegance to your homemade peda sweet, making them not only delicious but also visually appealing.

    Serve at Room Temperature: 

    Your pera sweet are almost ready to be savored! To enhance their delicious taste, allow them to sit at room temperature. This simple step allows the flavors to fully develop, resulting in a more rich and satisfying indulgence. When you’re ready to treat yourself, serve up these delightful indian sweet pedas. You’ll likely find that they disappear swiftly, a testament to their irresistible appeal.

    Storage Notes:

    Amongst all the indian sweet recipes the Indian sweet peda is one of the most versatile sweets that can last for a few days at room temperature. If you want to savor the sweetness for a more extended period, refrigerate them for about a month.

    In summary, making pera sweets at home is a rewarding and surprisingly simple process. From preparing the paneer to shaping the pera indian sweet, every step contributes to the rich flavor and texture of this delightful treat. So, gather your ingredients, follow these easy steps, and indulge in the joy of homemade peda mithai. Enjoy the sweetness!
