Kid's Delight Roundup Part 1

Hello folks!

I'm doing the Roundup in 3 parts because we've got more than 150 recipes linked to the Something Sweet event. And I wanted to do a detailed post on these delicious treats. Thanks to Srivalli, who let me host this event. I didn't realize we would get so many entries coz I didn't even spread the word much. But we did. :-) So thank you all!
Also, I will be posting the roundup at least a week apart coz it takes time to accrue all the pictures and link them. So, please have patience! :-D I have taken care to include all the eligible entries in my Roundup. Just in case I've left out any, please shoot me a comment. I shall verify the same. But do check your post before notifying me; coz its more likely that you haven't followed the event rules & hence, left behind.
So get ready for the 1st part of Kid's Delight..

Stuffed Karela/ Bitter Melon | Cooking With Kin #3#

Mumbai-chi mulgi Ashwini who has a beautiful blog named Indulge - Ashcorner; has graciously agreed to be my guest blogger today. :) For me, she's this super-baker and cake decorator who has so many lovely cakes to her credit. The first post I had seen on her blog was this Disney Cars Cake. Go on, open the link. You would think she's a professional cake-decorator. I used to admire her posts... and that was it.

Last month, I buzzed her on chat (coz I seemed to have 400 friends on Facebook. And it was embarrassing not to know anything about anybody! So I randomly buzzed everyone online & she was the only one to reply!) And I immediately connected with Ashwini. For one, she is a hardcore Mumbai-ite. :-D So we had a lot to chat about. And I'm happy to be featuring her post here today! :)

Over to you, Ash -

Rava Kesari | Suji ka Halwa | (Semolina Fudge)

Just thinking about this sweet makes me drool. One of the reasons why I love Indian Cuisine is this Kesari. :-) Especially the ones that are loaded with Ghee/Clarified Butter. They taste the best. Of course, that means you have to restrict yourself to miniscule amounts; but so what?! Its better to eat sinful delights in moderate quantities than eat boring salads in large quantities! ;-)

Kesari is a sweet made out of Indian Semolina flour. Its highly popular and you'll find the sweet served in many festivals and functions. Traditionally, we use Saffron threads to bring out a lovely orange color and a divine smell in the sweet. But since saffron is ridiculously expensive, a lot of people prefer using Orange food coloring instead.
