Instant Saravle Recipe

Though I have already uploaded traditional sweet saravle recipe but here I am posting this another recipe with a twist to make it an instant recipe and trust me it tasted great! or may be even better with less efforts! So, what I have done is I skipped coconut milk as scraping, grinding and squeezing milk out of coconut is such a task and requires a lot of time. Instead, I used sweetened condensed milk as well as evaporated milk which gives amazing creamy flavour to the saravle and I just love it. You can use full cream milk instead of evaporated milk and skip water altogether it's up to you! If youdon't like egg you are free to skip it but I personally like egg in saravle it balances the sweetness really well and looks good too if you want to take a picture for your instagram! ;) Some people use poppy seeds (khaskhas) for garnishing the saravle which I don't like for no reason so never used it instead I like lots of cardamom powder and saffron.

You can also check my Chicken Saravle recipe which happens to be my all time favourite dish. In this savoury saravle recipe you can replace chicken with mutton or lamb and follow rest of the recipe without any changes or extra ingredients but if you are using beef instead of chicken the replace coconut milk with water or meat stock as coconut milk doesn't go with according to elders. :)

Anyway, let's get back to the recipe;

Instant Saravle Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Saravle
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Tablespoons Butter or Ghee (at room temperature)
• 6-8 Almonds (sliver)

• 1/2 Cup Water
• Pinch of salt
• Cardamom Powder
• Few Strands of Saffron

Method:

1. Heat a pan on medium heat and dry roast saravle till fragrant and slightly golden in colour. Remove in a blank pan and winnow through to remove the chaff or burnt bits.

2. Now heat butter or ghee in a pot and add in cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods and let them splutter the add all the chopped nuts and fry for a minute. When nice aroma fills your kitchen add in the saravel and saute for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add condensed milk, evaporated milk and water and let the saravle cook on medium heat. Once the liquid has almost dried add in sugar and salt and stir well.

4. Meanwhile break eggs in a small bowl.

5. Make shallow cavities in saravle with the help of wooden spoon and add in the eggs. Sprinkle cardamom powder and saffron on top of eggs and cover the pot and let it cook on very low heat till eggs are cooked.

Tips: 1) Always use wooden spoon to make saravle or similar dishes like vermicelli (shav) and Semolina (Soji).

2) Use heavy bottomed pots to cook these sweet dishes.

3) Using Desi ghee gives really good results.
