If you love vanilla sponge cakes and custard, you are going to be as obsessed with this cake as I am. It looks like it’s been carefully layered with three different components. But it’s not! You just pour one simple batter into a cake tin, pop in the oven, and this is how it comes out!! There is no special ingredient nor any tricky technique. The batter is made pretty much like a traditional vanilla sponge cake, it is just much thinner....
There were a lot of organic mangoes sent by my uncle. As always we made this mango halwa and I thought of sharing the recipe with you all. This mango kesari recipe is adapted from my pineapple rava kesari which I shared earlier. But this time I went ahead using bansi rava. If you are a health nut like me, go ahead and use broken wheat but if it is the taste and the color that matters, use semolina....
Mango Pineapple Popsicles are the ultimate healthy frozen treat you need this summer! These creamy and tropical popsicles are the perfect balance of sweet and sour and you’ll love to refreshing tang. Putting these together is as easy as blending, pouring and freezing! I find the natural sweetness from the mango gives these popsicles enough of a sweet boost, but if you give the mixture a taste and decide it isn’t sweet enough just add in a little honey and blend again....

I was never an egg sandwich lover. In fact, with the exception of frittatas and omelettes, I’m not much of an egg person, period. For example, I will run for the hills at the sight of an egg salad.??? Sorry, egg lovers, but the truth is I didn’t come into this world with the egg gene. So, it took me a long time to have my first Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich....

Tastes delicious and makes for a gorgeous presentation. Ingredients: Peanut Butter. I personally recommend using Jif or Skippy for the best texture....
Great crepes are all about getting the batter right. I find that the best and easiest way to make a perfect batter is using a blender. No lumps, no tearing when you flip, with just 10 seconds of whizzing! It’s a breeze to make crepes if you get the batter right. Too thin, and the crepes tear easily when you flip them. Too thick, then the batter is difficult to swirl around to coat the pan to make thin crepes....

Whatever pleasure you prefer. Roasted vegetables, like these easy oven roasted potatoes, often require very little prep work, yet add a well-rounded component to any main dish....
Pillowy soft slices of bread soaked in a cinnamon-, maple-, and vanilla-spiked egg mixture, showered in cinnamon-sugar fairy dust, then baked until it’s lightly golden on top and custardy underneath, this large-scale version of classic French toast is ideal for a crowd. Though, if you want to make overnight French toast for two instead, I promise you and whoever is lucky enough to share it with you won’t mind the additional servings in the least!...
Sandwiches are a great alternate to the time consuming traditional Indian breakfasts like paratha, poha, idli, dosa and upma. Sandwiches are a favorite with my kids and sometimes they prefer to take it to the school in their box. I make paneer sandwich in different ways. I have shared 3 ways to make it here in this post. All of them taste different and are easy to make . I used this homemade paneer but you can also use store bought paneer....
In a double rite of passage, I became a grill owner a few short days after becoming a homeowner. My purchase was an optimistic one, made with the hope that Ben might take to grilling with, if not enthusiasm, at least cooperative direction-following. Neither came to fruition. (Though he still washes dishes, so I will keep my grievances to an inaudible mumble.) Rather than miss out on the easy, healthy, and indisputably delicious genre that is grilled food, I decided to pick up my skewers and learn to grill myself....
Here’s how it goes down: You begin at one end of the pumpkin pull apart bread; your friend begins at the other. Twenty minutes later, you meet in the middle with the simultaneous, elated realization that this bread (and ok, each other) are the only two things you need to be deliriously happy for the rest of your lives. Here’s what I love about this pumpkin pull apart bread recipe:...

Cauliflower is always best served cooked rather than raw, and my favorite has been roasted cauliflower. I normally roast it with some olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and Parmesan cheese but when visiting a local Middle Eastern restaurant I was inspired by their version of cauliflower served with tahini sauce and sprinkled with ruby red pomegranate seeds and pomegranate molasses. Their cauliflower dish tasted very different from what I was accustomed to, yet so delicious that I got determined to recreate it at home....

This year, I wanted to return to the punch bowl’s roots and make a traditional rum punch, but with one important twist....
Sabudana more commonly known as sago in the Asian countries, is a processed plant starch extracted from the cassava root. This starch is shaped to pearl like balls.

So a lot of Hindus use sabudana during various festivals and fastings to make numerous dishes like this khichdiSabudana vadaEasy Sabudana kheerSabudana payasam and many more....
