Walking Away from Nariyal ke Laddu

Posted on September 7, 2009

Nariyal ke Laddu

I have a huge sweet tooth and I also care that I do not gain too much weight. With tabel Tennis gone out of the schedule, I am scared to eat too much sweetsh. So when at lunch I saw this white looking stuff, thinking it is the normal Rasgulla, I took just one out of the heap.
After a bite I realized it was a coconut (nariyal in Hindi) sweetdish, something that I relish a lot. It was very difficult to refrain from taking a second one (see calorie chart for a similar dish called Nariyal ki barfi, and this is an unusual link, I do not count calories generally) but I did. I knew I would be haunted by the thought of the second one, so I decided that I would take a picture instead! That helped.

    Slurrrppp!!! I'm stepping out on some errand. Will get some of those too. Coconut is delicious :-)I'd suggest not to count the calories. It is a futile exercise 😛

    coconut is like the staple food for us malayalis 🙂 grated coconut, mashed coconut, coconut oil, coconut milk … one or more of these is a must for any mallu dish! according to most dietitions coconut is high in calories and causes cholestrol … who cares anyway 🙂
