I came to your beautiful blog through One hot stove. This is one lovely recipe which I would love to make. Do you by any chance know what I could use to replace the sweetened condensed milk? This is an old post of yours, but in case you still want to know, The Indian oranges are wrongly called oranges and are actually maderines. Since I have studied botany, i know it for sure. :)
And Clementines are a variety of maderines.

Wow - this looks really yummy. I have been looking for this recipe for a long time. Do you have the recipe for Aam-kheer?

Thanks Kalyn though I think you will not have this because it does not fall in the South Beach category. Can you add splenda instead of sugar to make it South Beach ?

Coffee,
Just saw your Still Life, very very beautiful, you are really talented

I am not very sure, as long as the orange is sweet and you can make small pieces (as in Pic 3) it should be fine

Vani & DilipJi
Thanks

Meena
Yeah it's not like "traditional" traditional, but most bengali household makes it during winter

Trupti
I love the way you share your stories and views in your comments. And the Mandrake, my hubby loves those and Phantom and the other day he was talking about "Bahadur", did you read that ?

Sri
Missed you the last week, good to see you back in circuit

Asha
I am sure you are going to turn this into a one more beautiful creation but be careful about the oranges you use, they should be sweet & small

Seema

2007-01-13T14:30:49.560-05:00

Sandeepa..you brought back some fond memories of life in India..How I loved to go on the terrace and read those "amar chitra Kathas" "Mandrake the Magician's comics...and of course, there was always something to eat..Guavas sprinkled with chilis and salt, Jamuns...mangoes..whatever!

I've been eating a LOT of tangerines lately...and using it in a kheer is an excellent idea.

Cheers,Trupti

2007-01-13T14:20:05.057-05:00

Yeah Bongo, those were the days. I really miss soaking up the sun. Not a season here is worthwhile for that either it's too warm or too cold outside

Indo, This dessert is very easy to make also and Guessing that DD is your 8yr old you can ask her to help you doing this

Padmaja
Yeah maybe all bengali cuisine may not exactly suit your tastbeuds but the Desserts surely will :)

2007-01-13T13:58:40.270-05:00

Sandeepa,DD was reading over my shoulders "that looks really yummy" was her comment. We have plans to make it real soon. I have the same problem, still overwhelmed with all the choice of oranges. The easily peelable oranges that we get back home were called Kamala oranges.

2007-01-13T13:47:03.389-05:00

Sitting there soaking up the soft orange sun, peeling the oranges, popping one koa (or segment) after other , the sweet juice exploding the taste buds and being lost in the novel which had been neglected for the exams or the Anandamela ( a very popular childern's magazine in Bengali) which had arrived just that morning…that was life, warm, sweet and carefree.

Ah.....you've made me heavily nostalgic. Those were certainly the days. Especially if you were in a West Bengal-board school, winters would be extra-special due to the long end-of-classes vacation.

Good Kamlalebu, of the same consistency and sweetness of the Darjeeling ones is tough to find in the US (as you mentioned). Occasionally I will find a box of South African or South American clementines that are nice and sweet.
