Phalonki kachaudi; kobler - thanda peya (madira)


Explanation:
Cobbler has these two meanings:

1. A deep-dish fruit pie with a thick top crust.
2. An iced drink made of wine or liqueur, sugar, and citrus fruit.

The first meaning can be translated as:फलों की कचौड़ी (डीप-डिश)as pie can be translated as कचौड़ी। My suggestion is to give deep-dish in brackets as it cannot be translated. But the term is understood in the context of food and menus.

If the second meaning is taken, it can be translated as कोब्लर - ठंडा पेय (मदिरा)

Amriikii bharvA(N) vyanjan--अमरीकी भरवा&


Explanation:
Cobbler is a traditional American baked dish, usually a dessert. It consists of a filling which is placed in a large baking dish, such as a Dutch oven, which is covered by a layer of pastry as a crust. The result is then baked.Cobblers are generally filled with fresh fruit, most commonly apples, peaches, and cherries. They can also be filled with meat and vegetables to be served as a main course. A cobbler is similar to a pie, but lacks the bottom crust.

Since this recipe is not made in India, we don't seem to have not coined any term for it. This dish may also contain meat, so we can't name it on the basis of fruits alone. I think, Amriikii bharvA(N) vyanjan--अमरीकी भरवाँ व्यंजन may communicate the sense to some extent. However, the best course is to transliterate, otherwise the readers might not understand which specific recipe we are referring to.

typo: pls read "we don't seem to have coined" instead of "we don't seem to have not coined "

cobbler - Not for points


Explanation:
Each one of the answers suggested except the one suggested by gns, is right.


This term means different things in different countries.

In the American context, it is defined as:
1)
A baked dessert dish consisting of fruit filling covered with a sweet biscuit or piecrust dough.
See: http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/bld_c.htm

2) a drink of liquor, sugar, sliced fruit and mint.
See: http://food.oregonstate.edu/glossary/c.html

In the Russian context, it is defined as:
A deep dish pie, generally made with fruit

See:http://russianfoods.com/russian-cooking/dictionary0000500043...

So you may consider using this option:
Transliterate it and put the description in the brackets:-
कॉब्लर (मदिरा, शक्कर, फलों की फाँकों और पुदिने से बनाया गया एक पेय या फलों की फाँकों, मीठे बिस्कुट और गुँधे आटे के मिश्रण को पकाकर बनाई गई मिठाई)
or simplify it as:
कॉब्लर (मदिरा, शक्कर, फलों की फाँकों और पुदिने से बना एक पेय या फलों की फाँकों से बनाई गई मिठाई)
