Remembering Dad With his favorite Sweet - Rasgolla with a South Indian Twist

It has been more than 10 days, I posted in my blog. These 10 days were the toughest days in this new year. After mom left us to heavenly abode 6 months back, my dad has also followed her. I just couldn't believe it. Now I am left without my parents and it is killing me. Until they were alive a small girl was alive within me and now I feel like I am missing that girl. Suddenly I feel very lonely and old. The only reason I am staying sane is my little girl Sruti. I didn't even feel like sitting before my PC, but I wanted something to divert me from the sorrow which has struck me the second time in six months. And this post is to remember my Dad with his favourite sweet. 

This is the snap of mom and dad before 20 years. I know the editing is very bad but I couldn't do a better job.

Ringna Bateta Ni Kachri - A Tribute To Tarla Dalal

Last week, November 6th Wednesday, I was so shocked when I opened my FB page for updates. One of my FB friends posted that Tarla Dalalji is no more. I just couldn't believe it. I searched for so long and after an hour, many updates started coming on friend's walls about the sad news. I am a great fan of Tarla Dalalji and I have been collecting her books for the past two years. Whenever I have a doubt regarding any recipe, I first search the books written by her, then her website and only then I go for any other alternative. If you are a foodie, you would surely be familiar with her recipes. My most favourite Tarla Dalal's book is Mithai. She has listed so many sweets and if you try them you surely can master the art of sweet making. I have bought so many of her books for giveaways in my blog and I will continue to do so. She will be remembered forever...

We at the Blogging Marathon group wanted to post a tribute to her. The idea was given by Padma and every one wanted to be a part. So Preethi designed this logo for the post. We thought of trying one of her recipes which would be a perfect tribute to her. Tarla Dalal gives perfect recipes with accurate proportions. You can never fail with her recipe and that is why her recipes are a great hit among bloggers. This recipe is from her Gujarathi Cook book. It is a simple yet tasty dish and can be made in a jiffy.
