Kordoi is a very delicious Assamese sweet made with refined flour and sugar syrup.....and is sinfully high in calories.Whenever i go to Delhi ..my folks beforehand remind me not to forget to get them their share of the same.Yesterday while my mom in law was busy making kordois the thought of writing about it crossed my mind.I quickly clicked some pics as i was about to leave for my Gym.As i packed my water bottle ma offered me the largest one in the scene,BIG SYRUPY,HOT,CRISPY,YUMMY AND MAY BE 300 CAL. CONTAINING...but it was kordoi being offered by a mother-in-law.....how could a daughter-in-law refuse.

I stuffed it to my mouth ma by my side waiting for my response....the moment it touched my mouth i forgot about everything...they are so tasty...HAVE THEY TURNED OUT WELL? she questioned me....'fabulous' ,i answered....'have one more 'prompt she said.As i left the house i was 600 calories higher.Fourty five minutes of Treadmill at a high speed plus another half hr.aerobic session and i was sorted.atleast thats what i thought until.....

I reached home,after my bath as i sat down to check my daughter's h.w....chandika arrived with a tray ...a cup of tea and again one kordoi....but i already had it....please ,see if it is still crispy after cooling down.yes it is still crispy .

Before retiring to bed i thanked god as always and in addition i thanked him for three things....
1.thankyou god for giving me the very first kordoi made today
2.thankyou god for giving me a chance to burn those added calories
3.thankyou god for giving me another chance to reload those lost calories.

It is good to know that you are a blogger even in the Kitchen :P
Fantastic dish. Very nice, delicious and mouthwatering food. Lovely and tempting pictures.
That sounds wonderful, Kavita. I wish we could try it. I wonder if they serve those in the Indian restaurants here. Hmmmm... or do we have to go to India? :-)
Interesting!
the dish looks somewhat similar to 'Jilebi' that is so common here in karnataka! If i'm not wrong, it tastes the best when it is somewhat hot!
Awesome!... what an great way to celebrate the birthday!! Thanks for sharing the pics :)
Was that your birthday gift from your mother-in-law? It looks so delicious. Of course, anything that is fried and contains sugar syrup is delicious. That goes without saying.
I wouldn't worry about calories, Kavita. Enjoy your food with your whole heart and soul. Enjoy the moment!

Kordoi sounds like a lot of the sweets I've seen in India - sweet & syrupy!! Lucky for me I haven't got a sweet tooth and my in-laws know by now that it's pointless trying to get me to eat them. (I did try at the beginning!!)
Give me something salty with my tea any day.. :D
