Cake House

M y dear friend once told me about an easy dish, which can be made within minutes and which is very tasty and delicious. It is a daily struggle in my house about what to cook for lunch and dinner. I ask my Husband and he is like what ever you make I will eat. Some days i even call my mom and my MIL to suggest some dishes. . :) It is very difficult for me to decide, so one day when my friend called me she told me about this simple yet tasty dish. But as brinjal is a big NO to my Husband (he is a bit choosy about veggies) it was not there in my house. The next time I remembered to buy eggplant when I bought veggies, so that I could try this amazing dish and you can see the result. This is a classic Bengali delicacy, served as part of traditional wedding feast. This can even be ate as a snack. In this dish, the brinjal pieces are mixed with all the spices and shallow fried. This is done within seconds and will be enjoyed by all. Ingredients: Eggplant- 1no Red Chilli Powder- 2 tsp Garlic(c

S trawberries are delicious, low in calories and very high in vitamin C. These are also a good source of folate and potassium. These are low in calories and high in fibre. Most of us love strawberries and in my house this is a regular fruit which we buy often. My kid loves this. A handful of strawberries were lying down in my refrigerator hidden from my little one.:). I had made everything out of it like the milk shake, smoothie and so on. So at last I thought of trying out my hand in making ice cream as this is one of my favorite flavors. As I have already made custard apple ice cream before, I was confident of making this too. So I started  with mixing cream , milk and so on. I blended the strawberries and I added  them directly without sieving and the result was a creamy and delicious ice cream with excellent flavours of strawberry and perfect colour and texture. I didn’t add any type of food colour and the original strawberry colour was retained and so the ice cream had a light pin

I t gives us immense pleasure and excitement to bake a cake for our dear ones on special occasions. Yesterday was my Husband's birthday and I baked this chocolaty cheese cake the day before and made him to cut the cake at midnight. This cake was a total surprise for him as he didn't expect this cake from me, as I was really busy on that day ( or I made him believe that :) ). He didn't get any smell of the baked cake and luckily he never opened our fridge that day, so I was really lucky to maintain the surprise. This, I tasted when I went to my bro's house and the taste was to die for. Then when I asked for the recipe, he sent me the link . In the original recipe the measurements are too high, I reduced them to my level and made this cake. I searched in all the shops nearby and getting sour cream was difficult, so I made it on my own and it was not a hard task. Only that we have to prepare sour cream one day before making this cake. When the cake was baking in my oven th

S oya chunks or “meal maker” is my latest fascination. I love them in all my curries, cutlets, rice and the list will go on. As soya chunks are a great source of protiens and vitamin B12, I make it a point to buy these and store, so that I can use any time I want and I mostly include this in my little one’s food. She loves them a lot. I made this Pulao for lunch on a weekend so that I dont have to spend much time in kitchen :) and also a pulao can also make a complete meal by itself. I make this often with different combinations of veggies. Soya is very healthy and low in fat and has a high protein content, which promotes growth. This can be made easily without any effort. I made this in a pressure cooker as this will take less time to prepare. Only thing to note with cooking rice in a cooker is that we should know the  correct time limit and measurement for the rice to become fluffy and still not stick to each other. Ingredients: Soya chunks- 1cup Onions ( sliced )- 2nos Ginger and ga
