Eggless Devil's Food Cake

-
As scary as the name sounds this cake is equally delicious. The easiest way to prepare a cake is to buy the mix follow the instructions and your are done unless you have restrictions like cannot use egg. Its a biggest turn off when it comes to baking. 

Like happened with me , I wanted to bake a nice cake for my dear friend Shanta on her birthday but as I have mentioned earlier we all are vegetarian for the month of Kartik and egg was not a option. So I prepared the devils food cake with out cake and it turned out to very delicious. So decided to share the success with all of you.

Ingredients:

  1. Devils Food Mix : 1 pack ( I used the one from Pillsbury)
  2. Milk: 1/2 cup
  3. Curd: 1/3 cup
  4. Vegetable oil: 2/3 cup
  5. Coke: 1/4 cup

Procedure:

Preheat the oven at 350 F.
In a bowl mix the milk yogurt and vegetable oil.
Slowly add the cake mix and mix in order to avoid lumps.
As you keep add the mix the batter gets thicker. 
Add the coke and keep mixing, till you have added the whole pack.
You can add a little more coke if the mix is very thick.
The aim is to achieve one ribbon consistency for the batter. That means when you drop the batter it should fall like a ribbon.
Spray a baking tin with cooking spray and pour the batter into it.
Level it out and bake for 30-45mins. The easy way to test if the cake take by pricking the cake with a tooth pick and if it comes out clean your cake is done.


Happy Birthday Shanta

Let it cool down and then decorate it as per your creativity.
I used the decorative icing i bought from Lucky's.
You can follow this recipe for any cake mix and it will work just fine.

So all my vegetarian friends now there is no reason to indulge yourself in some guilty pleasure ;)

Go ahead and bake some love and do let me know.

Till then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps.

You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
