What's New in My Kitchen

Winter is very special for me....... Its the season of cakes,Christmas cakes , new years cakes....... n what makes the season special for me is 3 birthdays that come around this time of the year. On November 24th of this year my little prince turned one, December 6th is my birthday, and then January 23rd is my hubby's birthday...

A super soft yummy cake. I dont know why it took so long for me to bake this. Every time when i go through my recipe book i stop at this recipe and say 'one day'... May b the ingredients hold me back. Blueberries and heavy cream are not common in my city.        There was a carton of fresh cream, bought a few weeks back and i wanted to use it up. I substituted heavy cream with it. I havent seen heavy cream till now so dont know the differences. I was keeping my fingers crossed till the cake was done.

This is the first time am baking a cookie. I got this recipe from the blog 'cooking is easy'. Its a simple cookie with nice buttery flavour.

Have u wondered about those super soft cake base u get to eat in blackforest and chocolate truffles.........well i have....... I have been searching such a recipe for  a long time until i found this. I had heard about genoise sponge before..but thought it was meant for professional bakers.

Kurma is a very well known dish n each of you may be having one or two recipes with you. This one is my favourite recipe.Another speciality of this recipe is that it doesnt use any masalas or whole spices not even turmeric powder.....can you believe it.....yes absolutly stomach friendly and equally tasty.

Diwali is here...A festivel of lights... Diwali is never complete without sweets... Diwali is celebrated throughout in India..But in North Kerala mostly it is the sweet boxes that reminds us about diwali...

It was while watching the movie 'Band Baja Bharath' I first saw bread pakoda. I wanted to try it very badly. I started searching for the recipe,thinking it wud b a easy simple tea time snack. But once I found the recipe,I came to know tat its not as easy as I expected. Boiling and mashing potato,cutting vegies,making batter,making chutney.....that a lot of work for lazy me

Carrot is my favorite vegetable,the only vegetable i liked from my childhood. Now its the one which suffers my experiments the most. Before i was into cooking,for me carrots was only an ingredient in curries and thoran,i was surprised to know the variety of sweet dishes which can be made with it.

First of all a big sorry for not posting the photo. Its a realy busy time so cudnt make the payasam for the blog

Its the month of Onam...The celebration of 10 days starts today.. The word Onam itself brings a nostalgic feeling to everyone. I had my best onam days at my Father's tharavadu. All those memories are related to my Father's brother. He was the one to lead all the preperations from flower carpet to feast. And I was his helper all those days as I was the first and eldest child in the family

Have u heard about eclairs...not the toffee one....a pastry variety... Eclairs is a pastry filled with flavoured cream and coated with chocolate on one side. You may find this in some bakeries. Well am going to share the recipe for the  pastry base of eclairs called choux pastry

Vegetable Pulao Veg pulao,an easy recipe for a lazy day.Make it for a lunch, kids lunch box or a dinner party(well  i know dats not a lazy day )....it suits anywhere.        What I love most about this dish is the variety of options for a side dish to go with it. U can have it with a simple 'raitha-pappad-coriander chutney' or any of those onio-tomato based north Indian gravies

Lemon Tea cake I always prefer  home made cakes than bakery ones.l won't say that my cakes are perfect but sure they are better at least health wise.We are not sure about the quality of raw materials used for store bought ones and most of them use margarine instead of butter.Well there are bakeries who are strict about the quality of their products.Now a days many are into cake baking, for the above reason.

Chocolate Pudding Hii Guys..This is my first post and what is there better than a sweet dish to start with...Happiness is always connected with sweets..Even those who don't like sweets share their happiness with sweets..And chocolates have the top place in most of our hearts. So I have a delicious and simple recipe for all those with sweet tooth..
