Sweet-n-Sour Guava ladoo

So what do you do when the guavas get ripe lying in the fruit basket and no one wants to eat them at home? You either throw them or get down to "google down" some saviour. A post that I tracked - indeed a saviour that was.

Time required: An hour

Recipe courtesy: http://www.lovefoodeat.com/

INGREDIENTS:
Guavas

Sugar

Ghee

METHOD:

1) Wash the guavas well and cut into halves

2) Scoop out the inside of the guavas leaving the seeds aside (will tell you what to do with the seedy part later - creating suspense so that you scroll till the end ;))

3) Chop the deseeded guavas very roughly and cook for 10-15 minutes

4) Blend the cooked guavas into a smooth puree

5) In a pan, pour the puree, add sugar and cook over low flame (keep stirring) until it is hard and starts sticking to the bottom of the pan

6) Add ghee and stir more till you get a barfi/ fudge consistency

7) You can either spread it on a greased plate and cut them in diamond shapes once hardened. I found that slightly difficult so I rolled them into ladoos and coated them with dry coconut powder

Now - eat and serve and enjoy!

What to do with the seeds? Add ginger, salt, green chillies, coriander and make a tangy chutney to be savoured best with puris. :)
