Cake House

After so much of baking, I am back with my curry recipes. This is a delicious side dish with rice which every one must try. Pachadi is a side dish and a most wanted dish in all the sadhyas. We can make pachadi out of many vegetables, and mango is one of them. This can be made with ripe mangoes also. We can also add curd, depending upon the sourness of mangoes. In most of the places raw mangoes are available almost all through the year. So once when I got mangoes to make pickle, my M-I-L made this pachadi out of one of the mangoes and turned out to be delicious. I had never tasted this before. Hmm.. my M-I-L was holding this recipe for last so many years... :) This is one of the easiest recipes to make. This is not the season for mangoes but I couldn’t resist taking at least one mango when ever I see them in market, to make this yummy, tangy and delicious pachadi. Hope you all enjoy this. Ingredients: Raw mango- 1no(big) Coconut- 1cup Mustard seeds- 1tbsp Oil- 1tbsp Mustard seeds- 1tsp ...

I ts been quite some time since I wanted to start writing about some amazing places which we have been visiting in search of good food. We visited several places over the past year, but never got a chance to start writing. It was by accident that we saw this small tea shop in Indiranagar called Chai Patty. We were in fact early for doctor’s appointment and we thought of just going to this tea shop and see what they have. The view inside was just superb and just  by the look of it we decided to have at least a tea over there. The shop in general is quite open and done beautifully with the book shelves and the impromptu seating arrangements.  It gave us all the ambience of an old time college canteen. There is a reading section too with a reasonable variety of books for book lovers. The racks decorated with lovely and colourful showpieces. We decided to order a Kullad Chai and some hot and crispy potato bhajjis. The hot steaming kullad chai is just amazing. The masala chai was r...

A nd I am back with my first post of this year and yes, I am starting the new year with yet another cake recipe. Tiramisu is a well known Italian dessert which is loved and adored by people all over the world. This is a layered dessert, which has alternate layers of coffee dipped sponge fingers and a cheese- cream- egg mixture and finally dusted with cocoa powder. The sponge fingers soaked in coffee gets even spongier the next day. So if you are thinking of making tiramisu for some party or so just make this the day before serving so that there is ample time for all the flavors to glue well. First time I heard about this from my brothers, who usually tell about all the delectable desserts that they tried and loved. Later I ate this at my friend’s place and the taste was amazing. Then I decided, whatever it is, I must find the ingredients and should make this on my own. But the ingredients were difficult to get. After doing lots of research I came up with this and trust me the taste was...

M y wonderful journey in the blogging world started in 2010 and the past year has given me lots of confidence,  introduced me to many different cuisines around the world, improved my photography and presentation skills. At the dawn of this new year, I thought of taking a peek back to the roads I have travelled in the past year or so. There were several occasions inspiring, tempting and some even forcing me to cook the various recipes I have been posting. It is difficult to list the top dishes in my blog, since every post has an effort in its backdrop and is very close to my heart. I started this blog with a special interest in cake baking and desserts. I had a tryst with a variety of cake recipes, like the Blueberry cheese cake , Pannacotta and the most recent Rainbow cake . Each one of these cake recipes, though some of them common, have given me the unexplainable joy of seeing the cake made by me, right in front of my eyes. During this time, I also had my own share of experie...
