Mango Cake (Eggless)

-
Isn't yummmmmm the first thought that comes to our minds when we here mango?

The season for this delicious fruit has started and shops are flooded with variety of options tempting you to buy more even if a load is lying there at home :)

Mango is a fleshy stone fruit originally from India. Mango is generally sweet, although the taste and texture of the flesh varies across cultivars, some having a soft, pulpy texture similar to an overripe plum, while the flesh of others is firmer. Every part of the mango is
beneficial and has been utilized in folk remedies in some form or another. The ripe mango is anti scorbutic, diuretic, laxative, invigorating, fattening and astringent.

The most delicious way to have one is in its natural form as a fruit :)

But how many can one finish alone when they are lying in the refrigerator.

So I decided to use few together in a cake.

If you don't have fresh mangos at home you can always go for the store bought puree.

Ingredients:
  1. 1 – 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  2. 2 tsp baking powder
  3. 1/2 tsp salt
  4. 1 tsp cardamom powder
  5. 1-1/2 cups mango puree
  6. 1/3 cup canola oil
  7. 2/3 cup granulated sugar (cut down on sugar a little if your mangos are sweet)
Procedure:

It took me about 4-5 mangoes to make about 1-1/2 cups of fresh puree. I skinned the mango and added the pulp to a blender.
Pureed them into a smooth consistency. If you get little more than required reduce the oil to compensate the moisture.
Mix all purpose flour, salt , baking powder and cardamon powder together.
In another bowl mix the mango puree, sugar and oil.
Now add the dry mix to the puree little at a time and make a smooth paste with a ribbon like consistency.
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and level it.
Preheat the oven to 350F
Bake the cake for 30-45 min and when the tooth pick comes out clean your cake it all set :)

Let it cool down and then remove from the baking tray. Serve it with tea or coffee or just relish it :)

Mine turn out to be pretty yummy hope the same for you.

You can decorate it with piping or powdered sugar garnish a little and a yummy good looking dessert is ready which would be appreciated by every body .....

Try this and let me know how your turned out.

Till then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
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

Green Papaya Curry

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. Take the oil in a pan and heat well.traditionally mustard oil is used but Tanmaya does not like the taste of it so I use normal vegetable oil. 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
