Choorma

Dal batti choorma are the main dishes in kacha khaana of Rajasthani food. I'm learning them from our cook who is an expert in this. Of this trio, choorma is the sweet dish and my favourite. It can be made in the form of laddoo or burfi (the diamond shaped ones) or choorma, the granule form. The granule form of choorma is slightly messy to eat. So I prefer the firm shaped ones. Here I choose the ladoo form as my l'il one likes laddoos.  So many such delectable dishes to learn about on  Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#60
