For our next stop on a culinary tour around the world in 30 days, doing ABC Intl Cooking, I am stopping at U for Uzbekistan. I don't know much about the history of the country, except knowing it was part of the Soviet Union and got independent in the '90s. This was all related to my association with USSR and things that were happening during that period in life.
Anyway, I completely forgot about the country, until I came around with this simple recipe, that I chose to make for this BM.
This was one of the recipes that I did in batch and as always since the other dishes were more in demand for the kids, they hardly looked at it. In fact, Konda only tasted it and said it was good. However, since she doesn't like Almonds, she is not going to eat them. So I ended up eating it all myself. I love Almonds and this is such an addictive snack.
It is called Shakarli Bodom, which has a tantalizing hint of Indian Language for the name. This dish must have been the simplest and easiest one made for this BM and one that I personally enjoyed all myself. I had this stocked in an air-tight container and nibbled at it for over a couple of days. I was enjoying it so much. This is surely something one can make on a whim.
Exams are getting over for the kids and I am sure they must have planned well for their pooja holidays. On my side, I am still not sure if I will be doing the Navaratri Pooja Virtually, though I will be observing it at home. I really wish I could do it, let's see.

I can see why you were munching on it for couple of days. I think I would have done the same. Nice snack.

Suma Gandlur says
I bet these are addictive. And guess what Valli, fiir today's post I cooked a similar recipe with peanuts from another country and my daughter couldn't stop from eating them. If it would have been almonds, she would have reacted the same way as Konda. 🙂
