Greetings! :-)
I'm here with a super easy & healthy cake recipe! You need to steam it in the cooker. SO say goodbye to ovens! :-) No worries about setting temperature, preheating and all that kinda stuff! I love making cakes in cookers. I've been making them like this for a long time now and its one of my signature recipes.
Steaming a cake batter produces much softer cakes Kavihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00272530990656139134noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263156625994868821.post-64243532231768940502012-10-13T19:33:00.002+05:302012-10-13T19:33:27.980+05:30Updates and a GIVEAWAY!

I did say that this would be my last post on Edible Entertainment. However, I just missed the Blogger platform so much so that I decided to update this blog too! ;) Exactly 1 month ago, I left blogger for my new blog and I'm extremely happy with the new space.
Have you all updated your links to be in touch with my new posts? :D If not, do so now!

Greetings! :)
I apologize (to anybody who has missed me! :D) for being so irregular for the past few weeks. It hasn't been all hunky dory at my end. However, this blog is not a platform for me to write the woes of my life. I'll just stick to what has kept me from blogging...
It has taken a few months, but I've realized this is one hobby I'd seriously like to pursue along with the other career Kavihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00272530990656139134noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263156625994868821.post-71535549829063496642012-07-16T14:17:00.001+05:302012-08-25T15:04:51.074+05:30Homemade Dinner Rolls (Indian Pav Buns)

It is perhaps unfair to post jalapeño two days in a row. But you need to know just how sinfully delectable both these dishes are. I wouldn't categorize either of these as "Healthy Foods". The baked cheese jalapeño, although 'baked' involves a ton of cheese; while these fritters avoid cheese but make up for the fat by frying in hot oil! Ideally, you could eat one.

RULE NO. 1: You need to be audacious to eat jalapeños. If you haven't trained yourself to bear hot spice, bid adieu now.
Have you got what it takes to be a jalapeño eater? :-D You never know if biting into one is going to harvest that phenomenal
flavor and kick (that is the basis for so many Southwestern foods) or
if that one little bite will pack such a fierce punch that you'll be

The total time to make this immensely easy and delicious dessert was less than the time spent coming up with a suitable name for it. And I'm still not sure if I've done justice to it. Why don't you guys come up with a name for this? Basically, its Marie biscuit sandwiched with chocolate sauce... floating on more chocolate sauce!
I chose Marie biscuits because they are perennially available Kavihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00272530990656139134noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263156625994868821.post-68411674133912767542012-07-06T16:35:00.000+05:302012-07-06T16:36:40.022+05:30Paneer Pasanda
I promised you a rich dish today. Well, here it is. Richer than a chocolate cake, if you ask me. Stuffed cottage cheese deep fried and dunked in a cashew-tomato-onion-milk gravy. Yes. I think that is the gist of the long recipe we're gonna make together! :-D
Paneer Pasanda, an exotic gravy dish from the royal Mughlai cuisine has one too many versions to it.

To call this a Salad Recipe would be an insult to your intelligence. Let's just say this is how I like my salads.. :-) A little corn, some onions, capsicum, tomatoes (a MUST!) and a dash of lemon... The job gets done in under 5 minutes, its tasty and you don't have to worry about it depositing on your hips or thighs! ;-) Feel free to add or skip any other vegetables or sprouts.

And even weirder is the dressing I used for this. I don't guarantee the 'taste' because I didn't eat this. However, my brother, who usually eats everything I make, relished every bite. So if you trust his opinion, then go ahead with it. :P

I am one of those stubbornly self sufficient people when it comes to cooking. I love making everything from scratch. So, when I needed mawa to make Mawa Cake, instead of saving 2 hours of my life and buying it from the shop, I decided to make it on my own. Making it is so damn easy and involves almost zero labor!

There are a gazillion ways of making pickle. This mango pickle, or Avakkai Oorgai (read: aa-vuh-kkaay oor-gaai) as we Tamilians call it, is our family recipe. This is how ladies of my family have been making for generations.
Indians, by nature love spicy food. Our pickles tend to have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of red chili powder along with oil. An Indian meal is incomplete without pickle.

Who in the world doesn’t love the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven? It’s better than any smell my nose could possibly ... uh, smell. :D And mind you, my sense of smell is really strong. I can sniff food from far away and even guess what ingredients are boiling/ broiling/ baking/ frying away! :P But nothing like a loaf of bread, heh?

Say hello to Ma. She's been kind enough (or.. should I say, excited! :P) to share her 'secret' Rasam powder recipe with us. ;-) Rasam, Saaru, Chaaru, Saathumudhu... different names, one dish.

I have said it before. I am not a soup person. But then, my idea of soup has always been blitzing the hell out of beautiful tomatoes and then further slaughtering by squeezing out the liquid from the puree! But if soups can look as beautiful as this one, then I'd like to change my opinion! ;-)
