On a cold day, nothing beats a plate of hot bhajias with some cha (tea). Growing up, we had these as after school snacks from the ("gadi la") cart vendor, smothered in tamarind sauce. It was such a delightful treats, one that I clearly didn't start appreciating until moving away from Fiji. Even today, whenever I bite into these bhajias, I always remember those fond memories of my primary school days. Ahhh.. the "gadi la admi" (cart vendor guy) made childhood lovely! Ingredients: 1 cup gram flour/chickpea flour/besan 1 cup all-purpose flour  1 teaspoon baking powder  1/4 teaspoon turmeric  1/2 teaspoon carmon seeds (ajwain) 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera) 1 cup finely sliced onions 2 cups chopped spinach (measured after its cut) 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro  4-5 cloves of garlic, crushed  chili pepper to taste  1 teaspoon salt  water (enough to make a dropping batter consistency) neutral-flavored oil for frying (I used canola) Method: Heat oil in a heavy bott

Fiji Style Barfi | Milk Powder Barfi | How to Make Burfi   Barfi, Burfi or Doodh La Barfi, is a popular sweet in Fiji, especially during Diwali! With a few simple ingredients, this milk fudge is melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Although the ingredients and even the recipe itself is quite simple, the challenge usually lies in the syrup. Honestly, it took me a few tries (more like 10) to get this barfi down. In my video below, I’ve shared some tips on when to know that the syrup is ready. It may take you a few tries, but once you have this down, I promise you, you will be making it every Diwali, if not multiple times in the year!  This delicious sweet is a must have for wedding festivities as well. Although quite similar to the ones made in India, if you grew up eating Fiji style barfi, you’ll feel something “missing” when you get the barfis at the Indian stores.  I hope you give this recipe a try! If you do, please snap a pic and share it on my social media!  Happy coo
