Badam Phirni

Today I am posting the “Badam Phirni”. Phirni is a classic Indian sweet pudding. During this summer I am on a mission to prepare certain cuisines that not only taste good but also helps the body to beat the heat. This is a delicious creamy eggless pudding. Its main difference with kheer, is that kheer uses full grains of rice and phirni uses dust rice grains. Phirni has many flavours and aromas which we can prepare, but today my experiment with cashews and mawa. Hope you like this dessert.

History of Phirni recipe: The history and origin of the phirni is still unknown, but it is believed to be originated during the Mughal Empire in India. In Pakistan as well, this dish is enjoying a high status among sweet dishes. Since, the olden times, this dish is being prepared with traditional method and even served in traditional style.

Phirni Being a milk based dish, phirni is quite healthful. Rice also adds to the nutritional value of the dish. Even nuts  are full of vitamins, proteins and minerals. The only thing that let the consumers to avoid it is the use of sugar. It is a sweet dish, hence not recommended for obese and diabetic patients.

DalPea Halwa

Moong dal halwa is a common recipe but I tried to make it some different way, that’s why I added green peas with the moong dal. So, the “DalPea-Halwa” is  the combination of these two ingredients.

Moong dal is a bean soup that comes from Indian cuisine. The main ingredient is of course moong lentils, which are also known as mung beans. Moong dal is one of the most easily absorbable lentils. you are trying to eat healthy, moong dal can be a good high protein, low fat alternative to meat dishes. With 24.1gm of protein per 100gm, it’s one of the best sources of protein. An added bonus: Moong dal can be a great, nutritious addition to a balanced diet. It is a healthy meal that provides high levels of protein and fiber while containing relatively few calories and little fat.

1 cup serving of Moong dahl contains 128 calories, 2 g fat, 23g carbohidred, protin 7g.

My another and valuable ingredients which is include this recipe that is green peas.

Green peas is the world healthiest foods. Pea scientific name is Pisum sativum. Since one cup of green peas contains at least 10 milligrams of coumestrol, it's not difficult for us to obtain this remarkable health benefit. A Mexico City-based study has shown that daily consumption of green peas along with other legumes lowers risk of stomach cancer (gastric cancer). Green peas stand out as an environmentally friendly food. Even though green peas are an extremely low-fat food (with approximately one-third gram of total fat per cup) the type of fat and fat-soluble nutrients they contain is impressive. we know that green peas must contain some sugar and starch (and they do). But they also contain a unique assortment of health-protective phytonutrients.
