  2. Wash petals two times and then spread over kitchen towel for 1 hour under the fan.
  3. In a sauce pan make a lower layer with Misri powder.
  4. Spread Rose petals on the Misri layer
  5. Make another Misri layer over Rose petals.
  6. Fourth layer in the sauce pan is of Rose petals.
  7. And final fifth layer is of Misri powder.
  8. If your vessel is big and ingredients are less then make sure that your upper and lower layer should be of Misri powder.
  9. Close the lid of the sauce pan and keep aside for 24 hours.
  10. Next morning open the lid, stir thoroughly and either cover the pan with cloth or net strainer and keep this pan under the Sun for 7-8 hours.
  11. In the evening bring the pan inside the home, stir well, close the lid and keep aside.
  12. Repeat the same process for 4-5 days and the Gulkand will be ready.

Try to prepare Gulkand in month of April and dry off all excess water from the petals with the help of spreading washed petals on kitchen towel for 2 hours under the fan.

List Of My Recipes

Life is a journey of evolving roles, each with its own beauty and wisdom. From the structured world of academia to the ever-evolving realm of homemaking, I have embraced each phase with passion and grace. When my children settled into their own lives, I found myself with a renewed sense of purpose—to document and share the wealth of knowledge I have gathered over the years.

During the lockdown, I realized that my experiences in cooking, home remedies, and life’s simple yet profound lessons could serve as a source of inspiration for others. Meticulously and with great concern for the palate, gut health, overall well-being, and the emotional gratification of savoring each preparation, I began crafting a collection of love-filled, cherished recipes, time-tested remedies, and stories woven with warmth and wisdom.

I write under the name "Rajeshree's Kitchen", where I share detailed recipes—the kind that provide exact measurements for ingredients like salt and water, which are often left to personal interpretation in most other kitchen blogs. Additionally, I include practical tips with clear reasons behind them, ensuring that every piece of advice is rooted in understanding and experience. My aim is to make cooking approachable yet precise, helping readers not just recreate dishes but truly connect with the joy of cooking.

This endeavor is my way of preserving traditions, sharing insights, and connecting with those who seek both knowledge and comfort in life's everyday moments.
