Days are becoming gloomier and the rain making the days much lengthier telling us winter has stepped in :(, The other day we had this heavy rain fall poured suddenly when we were Windsor Castle, with loads of Hail stones, giving us shivers around shoulders and  palms, Weather turned so cold, I cursed myself not taking gloves and rain coat nor an Umbrella. I usually never go out without my umbrella. In UK it is one of the most important thing we need to carry as we never know what the next few hours of weather we would be having :)), some of my plants have found their way into my conservatory, we had a horrible frost as well, worried they might kill my plants. what have you done ? Do you have some precious plants you don't want them to die, what plans do you have to protect them.
Oh! wondering why I am here today, as I am not blogging regularly these days as I already told I have been really busy as my Mom is visiting me, and blogging is lagging the attention it needs.
An other month and An other SRC already. this month Suzanne my hostess assigned me to Le Ann's blog who blogs at Highlands Ranch Foodie.  Ranches, Cow Boys, Texas, Cattle Ranching was all those things I used to read when I was a young girl in books and wondered Wow what a life.  Reading Le Ann's blog I found that she lives in a place which used to be a place where they had cattle Ranches and she talks about it in her space. She says that she loves preparing authentic Mexican food and recipes that reflect the flavours of the west.
I was looking for something to bake, and this recipe caught my eye I have also book marked an other two recipe, I loved this one as it was Healthier and made with Linseed/Flaxseed, my daughter loves eating cheese and this would be a perfect one for her munching tidbits.  I just made little changes to the Original recipe.

FLAX SEED, CRUSHED PEPPER AND SUNFLOWER SEED CRACKERS
Adapted from : Highlands Ranch Foodie 
Preparation : 15 minutes
Baking time : 20 minutes
Yields : 9 Crackers

INGREDIENTS:
3/4th Cup Whole wheat Atta
1/4 cup Oats powdered
2 tbsp Butter
1 tsp crushed pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp ground Flax seed meal
2 tbsp whole Linseed / flaxseed
1/8th tsp baking soda
2 tbsp thick yogurt/curds
2 tbsp water

METHOD:
In a large bowl take all the Ingredients except water and mix them well enough until they are well blended, to this add water as needed and make it into a nice firm dough.
In a baking sheet spread the dough in a rectangular shape, top sunflower seeds on then then as a topping, using Roller pin roll them once again with the toppings.
Cut them into 9 equal pieces with the help of a pizza cutter, keeping them apart, separate them out and bake them for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven  just 10 minutes before.
Remove them on to a cooling rack, they just slide off easily and here you are with your crackers.
Enjoy topping it with some cheese and some salsa.

Make it Vegan : By substituting butter with oil and yogurt with just water :))

Hello everybody, Hope you are all doing, well, me ? quite tired, I had friends around weekend so that's it, It was cooking, cleaning and site seeing.  Weather hasn't changed much it's still raining, With wind blowing at 70 - 80 mph, my Tomato Baskets, fell down, got really scared thought all the hanging baskets might fall down and decided it is better to bring them all down until the wind subsides, Wind is gone and sun is gone as well, very depressing, have to wear jackets and shoes again, it's become a bit chilly at this end of the city :(, Weeds have come up again, need to pluck them out ( hate this job ), I had actually planned to sprinkle some Veedol when the weather was dry, after I had completed my gardening, but all my plans took a different turn when the rain started reigning over us and our sunny days have disappeared, All my seeds have become little seedlings which need more of a firm place and more soil to grow well and nice. It's such a pity  they are still in my conservatory !!, scared to put them out because of the torrential rains, which has turned down to drizzling rain now, hopefully it will stop and I can see the sunshine again, which the British people and the dear plants need at this time of the year :).

Coming back to this recipe, it is SRC time again, The Secret Recipe club of Amanda who is founder of this club has transferred her reins to April Tuell who is our new Head now, whom we all welcome with love and affection and would love to tell her its great to be with you, but do miss Amanda., Best of luck to both of them with their new ventures. My host Suzanne had assigned me to this blog Restored of Robin, don't be alarmed by the name, her blog is called Penny Pinching Provisions but she has renamed her blog title to Restored, so why is that ?, As she herself says she decided to Restore her health, simplicity and happiness, She says her blog focuses on good and healthy food, simple living and financially living frugally. So, I don't have to tell you more about it, as now you know what her blog stands for with some amazing recipes I have book marked a few and want to try them out, I tried already two of them and they turned out very well, I chose this for my SRC post as it is her own recipe and she has given a new name to it..!!!
When I was going through the bakes ( as I love baking ), this one caught me, I first thought this must be from some place, funnily it is her own make up recipe and name :)), So, I just decided on this, Bascially these cookies are called Scotchilla because it is made of Butterscotch and Vanilla  chips, as I had the Butterscotch chips and oats the cookie was fine to bake but the only problem was Vanilla chips, which I have never heard off and now I have to hunt down for it, so I had to omit that and made with whatever I had in hand and a little changes, do check out her blog for the Original Recipe clicking on the link below.  If you want to try it out.  Go ahead and enjoy these cookies as my kids did....

SCOTCHILLA COOKIES
Recipe Source: Adapted with minimal Changes from Penny Pinching Provisions

INGREDIENTS:
3 Cups ( 385 grms ) Old Fashioned Oats

1 ¼ Cup (185 grms ) Whole meal plain flour
½ Cup (115 grms ) Butter
1 Cup (165 grms) Fairtrade cane Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
½ salt
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Vanilla Sugar
½ tsp Cinnamon powder
2 Tbsp Flax seed
1/4 Cup Milk Powder
1/2 Cup warm Milk
6 Tbsp hot water
¼ Cup ( 57 grms ) Butter Scotch Chips
¼ Cup (57 grms) chopped Dates
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / Gas Mark 4  / 175  degree Celsius 
Sieve both the flours together then add all the dry Ingredients Baking Soda, Vanilla Sugar and Cinnamon Powder to this flour mixture and combine them well together, 

Soak Flax seed in  Hot water.

In a Large bowl take Melted butter and Brown sugar, cream them well together, to this add Vanilla Extract, Milk Powder dissolved in Hot milk and soaked Flax seed to this and beat them all well together.
To this creamed mixture add the dry Ingredients and gently incorporate the whole flour.

Drop these Cookie batter on to the cookie sheets in dollops or make a nice round ball, Press them and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes 
Cool on a wiring rack and Lo! Enjoy these  cookies...

Notes:
Because of the changes I made, I had reduced the quantity of sugar, so they are not too sweet, Perfect for me, as I love oats :),  I made these Eggless, if you want to use Eggs, she uses 1 Egg, she does not use milk powder or milk, I just used all those just thinking of my kids when they are going to indulge in it!, this way they will be consuming some milk too!!, Next time I am planning to reduce the sugar and butter quantitiy.
The cookies were soft but firm, they came out from the Butter paper without any problems they were very enjoyable to bake and eat!! , First time I really sat and ate 3 of them.., I thought they were quite addictive.
Check out all the bloggers who are in club and Enjoy a galore of recipes here....

I would like to send this to Jagruthi's cooking odyssey event Know your Flours - Whole wheat flour

You must have noticed that my baking is always to please my kids.., My whole cooking and baking is involved with my kids..., they are my inspiration to create whatever I do.. , My eldest is my greatest inspiration as she loves to try out every dish possible (only vegetarian) .
My kids love these Tarts and pies and keep asking me to bake them. That was when I started these journey on Tarts and pies from plain tarts to different kinds of tarts  lot of experiments I have indulged myself in!!
I have baked these tarts many a times and Just because my kids and of course my hubby loves it too....., sometimes I bake them as brunch on weekends or sometimes as their snacking time, coming from school they are always very hungry....
Basically baking this kind of Tart started one day when there was an argument between my two girls, My eldest  doesn't like these french fries, chips etc.., she feels that they are very oily to her taste, even though they are baked ones, only when I make them she likes as she mum wouldn't use too much oil  but she loves eating cheeses though!.
My second one loves potatoes to the core, she has already told me, that on her birthday and of course her twin R's D-Day I have to make, cook and bake only potatoes her list was too long, I just had to ignore her.
so coming back to the recipe she wanted potatoes in her tart and the eldest said I should not use it with other veggies in the tart.
When I saw both them together, an idea came to my mind!, why not use them both in flours satisfy and both the girls. so here goes my recipe...

WHOLE WHEAT AND POTATO VEGGIES TART
FOR THE TART: 
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1/4 cup plain flour
3/4 th cup  peeled, cooked and Mashed potato
salt to taste
6 tbsp of Chilled butter
1/4 cup cold water ( use when needed)
Cheese for the topping of the tart


FILLING FOR THE TART
INGREDIENTS:
1 Green bell pepper
1 yellow pepper
100 gms of Broccoli florets
100 gms of Cauliflower florets
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup peas
1 Onion
1 Carrot
1 tsp salt
100 ml single cream
1 tbsp Flax seed meal
1 cup of vegetable stock ( I used 1 ready made cube, gently warm water and add the stock cube).
50 ml single cream
1 tbsp Corn starch




METHOD AND SAUCE FOR THE TART
You can use an Egg in the sauce recipe but I have baked an eggless version...
First of all sift both the flours, with salt.
Cut all your veggies, cook broccoli, cauliflower, peas and carrot set them aside, don't cook too much.
Beauty of the veggies might become too soft and become a mess
Mash the cooked potato blend it with butter, once those two are ready, start adding the flour, to make it into a dough consistency. Rub the flour with your finger tips, just add 1 or 2 tbsp of cold water make it into a nice dough, knead it well so it forms into a ball.
wrap this dough in a plastic wrap and chill that in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
Meanwhile soak in a 3 tbsp of hot water flax seed meal.( around 10 minutes)
preheat the oven to 200 degree centigrade/Gas mark 6)
In a large wok, add 2 to 3 tbsp of Ginger-Garlic paste, once sauted add chopped onions, and pepper finely sliced and saute them too..,
Now add pre-boiled  broccoli, cauliflower, carrot etc.., into the wok then add the vegetable stock and allow it to boil with Pepper powder.
Now blend these flax seed meal first and then add corn starch without any lumps and single cream blend well together again, keep the flame low, pour this into the cooking veggies, adjust salt  and allow it boil for few minutes stirring continuously once it starts thickening keep it aside to cool.
Take out the dough roll out into a nice big round, then press this pasty ball into the tin, allowing any excess to hang over the side, you can roll a rolling pin over the tin and cut the excess slices for a good looking pasty case or like me just leave it aside.

Prick the base with a fork,  reduce the heat to moderate 180degree C, (Gas Mark 4) and all the fillings on to it then  grate some Cheddar cheese top it over close all the hanging out extra bits of the pastry  to cover it up and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until cheese melts and turn light golden in colour.
Serve warm and let the kids enjoy.

MY TIPS: To get a more crispier base you can trim of the extra dough, cover the pastry case with baking paper then add baking beads place the tin on a baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the paper and beads reduce the heat add the fillings and cheese bake further 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.

Lemon is my favourite fruit, When I think of Lemon I think of Indian Rice Variety, a simple delicious, flavorful, authentic spicy Lemon Rice  and the next thing I can think of Honey and Lemon Tea (Chai), Mmmm..., delicious healthy refreshing drink.
When the recipe to bake, called for Lemon -  the first thing that came to mind was spicy flavorful Muffins, then I decided nope let me bake really delicious sweet Muffins.., with Honey in it.
Then as always my mind went to bake Eggless Muffins, but decided to try both ways and made both Egg and Eggless Muffins.... so here is how it goes....,

EGGLESS LEMON AND HONEY POUND MUFFINS


Recipe source: minimally adapted from Taste of Home

Makes 6 Muffins

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Golden Brown Soft sugar
1/4 cup Honey
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice* (see notes)
1/4 cup Yogurt/Hung curds
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup All purpose flour
1/4 + 2tbsp Ground Oats* (see notes)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 to 3 tbsp of Sweetened Coconut

To Glaze*:
1/2 cup Confectioner's sugar
1 and 1/2 tsp of Lemon Juice.

METHOD:
Keep all the ingredients ready and measured.
Line your Muffin tins ( 6 Muffin cases)
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190 degree Celsius ( Just 6 to 7 minutes before baking)
Sift all the Dry ingredients together (flours, BP, BS, salt) and keep aside.
In a large bowl take melted butter, sugar and honey, cream them together to this add vanilla extract then Fresh lemon juice and Hung Curds/Yogurt give a swift mix.
Immediately start incorporating the well sieved flour in parts so it is well combined.
Do not Over Mix the batter, as it is Eggless baking mix it swiftly in an even circular and cut motion quickly
Scoop in the batter into the Muffin cases and top them with sweetened coconut, give them a little press and bake them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean.

FOR GLAZING*: You can glaze the muffins by mixing the ingredients in the glaze until smooth and nice and pipe them over the muffins and serve them ...

MY VERDICT:
* Actually I added 2 tbsp of Lemon Juice thinking that I will more lemony taste in it, was my little mistake I think, the muffins did not rise very well, as I always get my muffins well raised!, that was a bit of disappointment, but still it tasted great with that lemony taste in it, and I felt it was more sweeter..., If you have a sweet tooth you will love this...
*As I am using my new oven (GAS), I am a bit confused about the tempratures, the temperatures indicated in a recipe seems to be too much for my Gas oven, The actual recipe asks for you to bake at Gas Mark 6, I did not bake it at that temperature as all my baked turn golden brown quickly so I have little concern, so please do check your oven temperature while baking....
*The Oats which I have used in this recipe is porridge oats, I just simply Grind them to powder and use it in my baking.
* I did not glaze my muffins, I just skipped it as the Muffin itself was quite lemony, you can use some cream cheese frosting or butter cream or what ever you like to eat it with....
* The cake was delicious, there was this sweetness and tanginess in it, it wasn't too moist, when it was baking my daughter called out to me and said Mum it seems to go like a cookie, it is spreading out than going on top, that was when I thought I have used more Lemon Juice, so next time I will try it with just One tbsp if you try this please write to me and tell me how it turned out.
* As it was not too moist I thought you could increase the fat content a bit more, or I thought next time I will use 1 tbsp of Flax seed powder with 3 tbsp of hot water which will compensate on the fat content for the muffins.

LEMON AND HONEY MUFFINS WITH EGG and HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE


Wow that looks Gorgeous isn't it ?
Once I made the Eggless once, I had to make these again, As I always cook or bake only in the night and I had only made 6 of them, I had a bit of a situation.., My friend who stayed with me over the weekend, who never likes eating anything sweet at all gave me a big surprise, I just gave a teneey weeney bit of my Eggless muffins to taste, ate the whole muffin instead and a few minutes later asked me If she can have an other one!, I was totally taken aback (she is pregnant, I thought may be that is the reason), as she doesn't like to eat eggs was very happy with my Eggless ones so the four left was eaten by my family. That's it all gone so I decided on baking more muffins this time with Eggs though, so here is my Muffins with Eggs, this time I shared with my neighbours..

Makes 6 Muffins:
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Sugar (soft Golden brown sugar)
1/4 cup Honey
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Medium Egg
1/4 cup warm Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
3/4th Cup  + 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour/Maida
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
2 to 3 tbsp of Hershey's Chocolate broken into little pieces

METHOD:
Same as above method, Added one Egg with the liquid Ingredients gave a brisk whisk then added the Lemon Juice and Milk. Just added broken bits of Hershey's chocolate pieces and then Incorporated the flour into the wet mixture, poured them into the cups and baked them at the same oven temperature for 15 - 20 minutes or until the tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

The Muffins were soft and delicious.., My kids loved it, waiting for my neighbours verdict will update when received..., till then... take care....

Hello everybody, I was planning to post recipes which I made for Pongal festival, but then it is Monday today so I am back with baking for Monday Muffins, you must have noticed I love baking Muffins, simple versatile and quick to bake and my kids do enjoy them.
Baker street sent me the recipe to bake these delicious Mocha muffins, basically adapted from Bon Appe'tit.
I did not change the recipe too much, I just made it Eggless with a little twist with flour and sugar.
As my kids eat them ( hubby too.. can't stop him), I prefer to bake it a bit  healthier, Baking has become an obsession, so I try to make it much more healthier, then don't ask me, why I can't use eggs, as Eggs are a good source of proteins.
Definitely, I can't say no, I have nothing against Eggs. Even though I can't become a vegan as I love milk and milk products, at least I can try omitting Eggs where ever I can, well, If a recipe calls for 6 eggs, I just have to go ahead and bake it as substituting 6 eggs would be a challenging job! or it may become a flop. So, whenever it is possible I try and bake it Eggless, and my kids don't complain at all.
They always turn out good and my kids do enjoy them very much.

EGGLESS MOCHA MUFFINS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND PECANS

adapted from Bon Appe'tit with minimal changes

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp Hot water
1/2 tbsp Instant espresso powder
1/4 Cup butter milk
1/4 Cup vegetable Oil
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 Cup All Purpose flour
1/4 + 2 tbsp Barley flour
1/4 Cup packed Golden Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Agave Nectar
1 and 1/2 tbsp Unsweetned cocoa powder
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
100 gms Milk Chocolate Chips
100 gms coarsely chopped pecans toasted


METHOD:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees/Gas Mark 6.
Line 6 Muffin cups with Paper Liners
Sieve both the flours with Cocoa powder, Baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
Stir 2 tbsp of hot water and expresso powder in a medium bowl until the powder dissolves.
In a large bowl add buttermilk, oil, Sugar, Agave Nectar and vanilla, whisk  well until well blended.
In parts incorporate the flour into the Liquid mixture until well combined, Mix in chocolate chips and pecans.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cases.

 

I baked my muffins 15 minutes in Gas Mark 6 then reduced it to Gas Mark 5, they got baked within 20 minutes.Bake Until the tester or tooth pick inserted into center of muffins comes out clean.
Transfer muffins to rack and cool.

My Verdict: Here I have Halved the recipe.  So, if you want to make 12 Muffins just double the recipe and I would say if you are baking it Eggless then I would suggest you to add 1 tbsp of Flaxseed powder with 3 tbsp of very warm water and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then blend them with other Liquid ingredients.
Even if you are baking 6 Muffins use 1/2 tbsp of Flaxseed powder, it gives a moist texture to the muffins and helps in replacing the fat content in the baking process, as the muffins were not too moist, they were soft though.

If you are planning to bake it in Vegan Version you can substitute buttermilk with soya milk and Cocoa powder with Carob powder and vegan Chocolate chips
These muffins are not too sweet if you have a sweet tooth, substitute Agave Nectar with Sugar, they are perfect for Breakfast with Tea or as an evening snack with Tea or coffee.
If you want to make it with Eggs then for the above recipe just add 1 Large Egg, you will get your Mocha Muffins perfectly, If doubled add 2 Large eggs!!

See you next week with an other muffin recipe....., check out her blog for the MM team members and their Lovely Muffins. Thanks Anu for these beautiful muffins which my family enjoyed.

Eggless baking is such a wonderful thing, It's quite a challenge and the end result makes you feel so happy that you have achieved something isn't it ?, Everybody asks me why do you want to make everything Eggless, especially my children they think that the end product isn't very soft and fluff up as it does which has a recipe with Eggs in it!, Mmm.., Sometimes yes, but these days baking too many Eggless cakes, Muffins etc., My children have started to Enjoy it a lot, and a wonderful thing is when they say 'Amma it's amazing, well, when I bake something I usually try to bake with something Nutritious in it and  less fat content in it, Nutritious as not using lot of Plain flour, try alternative flours, add lot of fruits and nuts etc., less fat as H has a sweet tooth (in extremes and his daughter) and worried he eats lot of sweets! So, here is my version of Blueberry Muffins..., I had some Blueberry's long back I had made these muffins with different flours, I did not take any photos then, Hoping I have written the recipe somewhere in my pile of books, my kids loved it and kept asking me to Bake them again, well, I am happy as they just finish it off, if not monitored and so with restrictions they have to take it to school one each day! I will allow them to eat 2 to 3 at one go only when it is fresh out of oven and later on try to control it! It isn't that bad isn't it ?.
Once again coming back to the recipe! (hoping not to go way out of it again....)...

Then add the flour in three to four parts, in a nice circular motion, incorporate the flour completely into the bowl, until they are well combined do not mix it too much, be careful so the air pockets created by all the Ingredients should not get destroyed but the flours should also be well combined, do it slowly and steadily
Once everything is incorporated fill the Muffin cases around 2/3rds full with the batter and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until well risen and golden or a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
I always turn the muffin tray around after 20 minutes for an even bake.
I did not do any frosting as I always make muffins and cakes for my kids to take it to school..
Take an other look at my lovely muffins..

Thanks to my daughter for this click she wanted to show me how soft and nice it was! isn't it beautiful.. Mmm.., they all loved it hope you try it and love it too...

I like to send this to Akila's Dish name starts with E event, and also to Cooking with fruits event by Smitha

When I saw this in her blog, I was so interested because of two things, one is the bright colour and the other is the beetroots. As I have told you in my previous posts, she does a lot of Ground work and you have to read about it in her blog. She says it is so famous in US and goes on telling a story about a lady who was impressed that she really wanted to try it out on her own and asked for the recipe, but was refused and proceeded on buying the recipe and was charged so much, I mean a way too much, that she took her revenge by giving the recipe to every one!
She even quotes from New york times, which I think you should read it in her blog and here is the link to the original recipe. She has a group of twitter friends who experiment new things and this was one of them, she says she adopted this recipe from Hannah's seeing RedI adopted this from her blog with the changes she made to the originally recipe. The only variation I did was getting very tempted I added my flax seed mixture. Check out her blog about all the information about this gorgeous looking cakes.
As she says the cakes sold used the Red colour or the beetles, which we cannot use as a vegetarian she says substituting beets was a wonderful trick. and it certainly looked Red.

EGGLESS RED VELVET CUP CAKES

INGREDIENTS:
1 and 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
1 and 1/4 cup Sugar
1 and 1/2 tbsp Cocoa powder
1 and 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 Cup Pureed beets
1/3 cup oil
3  tbsp Lemon Juice
1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp Flax seed
METHOD:
First of all I took fresh medium sized beets as Aparna did, peeled and cooked them until soft, with 2 to 3 tbsp of water make it into a puree and keep aside until needed.
Mix all the flour, sugar, cocoa,  and Baking powder and salt in a bowl, then take an other bowl whisk together Pureed beets,oil, lemon juice, flax seed powder, vanilla extract lightly so they all combine together well, then pour the dry ingredients mix well combined pour this into 12 cups equally.
Bake the cakes at 180c for about 20 to 25 minutes (I took a little longer), it totally depends on your ovens, insert a tooth pick to check if it is done then cool them on a wire rack.
Once it is cooled decorate it with any frosting of your choice, Aparna tells us that it is usually served with a butter roux frosting or cream cheese frosting.
But she has served it a mascarpone frosting, She has made her own mascarpone cheese but I used shop bought, as I had not planned on this, and on a whim I made these cup cakes!
So, here goes how you have to make this frosting....
MASCARPONE FROSTING:
3/4th cup cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup Mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla essence
METHOD:
Beat the chilled cream first until stiff add sugar and vanilla essence and beat well until it incorporates well, I used a masher and break open the mascarpone lumps, Add this to the whipped cream and beat on well just as long as it gets well Incorporated into the cream, as she points it is quite soft and is better to keep it refrigerated,
Then I decorated the cup cakes as I desired.
My Verdict:  The cakes were good as any eggless cakes were, the frosting made it extra special, kids liked it but not too much as they thought it was weird to use beets in a cake!, then I sent some to my friends who said it was quite nice and liked it!, My husband never touched it as he hates Beetroots!, I have to always beg him or forcefully make him eat the dry curry I usually make.
Take an other look at my Red cup cakes..........
The cakes were not only RED but my hands were too..

I am sending this of to Tried and tested event of Zlamushka's, being carried on by Lakshmi and this month hosted by valli of cooking4allseasons.
Hope valli will still accept my entries, as I have tried but not able to post them on time...

Another day another recipe from her kitchen to mine, I am cooking my way through her kitchen I think almost every day. Should I say almost everyday, I made something for my kids again which they immensely enjoyed, they said it was Gorgeous, thanks Aparna.
I was looking through my fridge, and I saw this tupperware box and of course I suddenly remembered what was Inside this, That was my paneer, which I had made, 3 days back, yes, I thought I should do something, started with a subji and ended making these Paneer Rolls, when I was searching through her blog for pasta recipes, This one caught my attention and I had thought I should make this someday as it is a savoury and has cheese, both of which my kids will relish.
Here comes the recipe and a little things which I need to tell you about it through Aparna's research and her own words quote and unquote!, She says about these rolls in her blog....

'' This recipe for the dough is adapted from the Yeasted Breakfast Bread Dough in my Tassajara Bread Book. I used this dough because it is less rich compared to the dough usually used for cinnamon rolls. I made some adjustments to the dough recipe and made it egg-free as well.
I guess the tweaking of the recipe is fine as the author of the book, Edward Espe Brown himself says,
       ''Recipes do not belong to anyone-- given to me, I give them to you.  Recipes are only a guide, a skeletal   framework, to be fleshed out according to your nature and desire.  Your life, your love, will bring these recipes into full  creation (p.vi).''
She says these rolls come out soft and savoury filling makes it more tastier and can be served as a snack or with a soup''

SAVOURY SPRING ONION AND PANEER ROLLS

INGREDIENTS:

For the dough: Part I
1 Cup Luke warm Water
2 tbsp Honey
1 3/4th Active dry yeast
1/3 Cup dry milk (milk powder)
1 tsp Ground Flax seed powder in 1 tbsp water (or an egg)
1 1/2 cups of Whole wheat Flour ( I used 1 cup of Whole wheat Flour and 1/2 cup Rye Flour)

Part II:
3 tbsp Oil ( I used butter)
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp Roasted and Crushed Cumin seeds
1 tsp roasted and crushed cumin seeds powder
1 Cup All Purpose Flour (plain flour)
About 1/2 cup or so flour for kneading

FOR THE FILLING:

1 and 1/2 cups of chopped spring onions greens and whites
1/2 cup of sweet corn (I used fresh)
1tsp oil
1 and 1/2 cup crumbled paneer
1 to 1 and 1/2 tsp of Red chilli flakes (or according to taste)
1 tsp of Italian herbs
salt to taste
Cheddar cheese for topping

Sweet corn Spring Onion and paneer filling ready to go into the bread

METHOD:
In a bowl dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and honey.  leave it for a few minutes, you can see the kind of foam forming up. Beat flax seed and water then add this to the bowl, add milk powder (or egg) mix well.  Add the whole wheat flour and mix into a batter and beat well (Brown says 100 strokes so Aparna says in her blog)
Cover with a cling film or whatever method you use to let your dough rise. Allow it to rise to double in size.

Now when it is rising make your filling use all of the spring onions cut them into thin slices, crumble your paneer and keep your sweet corn ready. Take a wok, add a tsp of oil add the onions and saute it for a minute, do not saute it too much let it remain green and crunchy then add the sweet corn and saute for an other 2 minutes then add chilli flakes, Italian herbs and salt to taste, put off the stove allow it to cool and then add the crumbled paneer, now your filling is ready.
Check out the dough if it rised take it out, add crushed cumin and black pepper and butter or oil and fold in and  add the 1 cup flour and knead till the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it for 5 to 10  minutes with floured hands, as the dough will be stickPlace the dough on a floured surface, into a smooth dough, cover and leave the dough to rise again to double in size.
Once it is double in size, punch it lightly, then flour the surface and roll into a rectangle as Aparna says I made two halves and rolled them into rectangles into 1/4'' thick do not make it too thin, then keep the longer side facing towards you, then spread the filling leaving the space free in edges.
Dipping your finger in water wet the dough in the edges, Roll the dough rectangle tightly and seal the edges and cut them into 6 pieces place the cut side up in a greased tin giving space between them so they might expand and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven 1/2 an hour before brush the rolls with milk and  bake the rolls  at 190c for 20 minutes, after 1/2 way through fill the top with grated cheese and bake them again for further 10 to 15 minutes so the rolls are well baked and cheese is melted and the rolls are browned.
serve warm.

MY VERDICT : I did everything as she had told, valli had told not to tweak recipes, I tried to stick on to it, but when I saw my left over rye flour I couldn't resist, then added some sweet corns in the filling as my kids like it, The flour was not sticky as Aparna said in its first level itself it was like a dough, I do not know it might be because of rye flour, I did not add too much flour later on, I just dipped my hand in the flour while I was kneading  the dough turned out very well, and the result was perfect.
My kids just loved it, they said it was amazing..., thanks for the recipe Aparna....
Of course needless to say I am sending this of to valli's Tried and tested event started by zlamushka, which is being taken care of by Lakshmi of Kitchen Chronicles.

I would also like to send this to Bake off event and it is also yeast spotted.

Today My eldest was browsing through my collection of recipe books and she was so adamant that I should try out something from one of the books, because she always complains that I have these books on dessert and I never try out anything!. So, we both sat and rumbled through this recipe book of James Martin - Desserts and both decided to try out this recipe!, I love this book as it has a fabulous collection of recipes with basic techniques and is well explained. I could say that it is a fool proof recipe book I have 4 to 5 recipes from this book and all of them have turned out so well, I will post each one of them soon! (?)...
Once we decided upon what we are going to make, I told her we will make this into half and I will add egg to the one half and the other half I will try eggless!, she was not quite happy with it, but then she agreed (thank God!, I had my fingers crossed as I wanted her badly at my side, because I needed somebody to wash up all the things used when I am going through with it!, I always do the washing then and their when I start with the process, so both of us in do the chore!).
So, well when everything was set we were ready to go, she made the mixing of the egg based one and I made the eggless one!

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH TOFFEE SAUCE

As James Martin tells in this book that
' the origin of sticky tofee pudding are mixed. Some people say it comes from the Sharrow Bay Hotel in the Lake District while others claim it comes from the The Udny Arms Hotel in Aberdeenshire., for me, I like to think Francis Coulson or Brian Sack, the original owners of the Sharrow Bay, invented this dish in their fantastic hotel on the banks of Lake Ullswater, All I've done over the years is to tweak their recipe. I make it with a really rich toffee sauce- let's face it, if you're going to make a pud like this, you've got to do it properly!'.
Mmm.., the pud was really grate with that toffee sauce, even my sweet loving daughter thought it was too sweet for her, If you love sweets this toffee pudding with toffee sauce is just right for you!!!!.
I could just have the toffee pud, but the sauce was too much for me, and what a fool proof recipe!, the pud was so soft and was just like a sponge, I couldn't believe that it turned out so well!.
Coming back to the recipe check out the Ingredients:
The coloured ones in brackets is what I used as I had earlier told you that I made half with egg AND  the other half without eggs......, is what I made with this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

75gms of Soft butter (50 gms butter)
175gms Dark brown demerara sugar (100gms sugar)
200 gms Self- raising flour, plus extra fr dusting (100gms flour)
1 tbsp of Golden syrup (as it is I used)
2 tbsp of Black treacle ( as it is I used)
2 eggs (1 Egg)
1 tsp Vanilla extract (as it is I used) 
200gms pitted dried dates (as it is I used)
1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda (as it is I used)
Another important thing I changed in this recipe was I used 2 completely riped bananas. So, one banana for each cake!!. got it....
The Print in the black is the Original recipe but as I said earlier the one in the red is the recipe I used, so what did I do then ?
well, as I had planned earlier I will use half of the original ingredients with egg and the other half with eggless, I had to equalize the recipe first as I could not measure in equal quantities the measurment given above so I increased the quantity of butter and sugar but used the other ingredients as it is and used only one egg.
METHOD:
Pre-heat the oven to 200 degreee centigrade/400 d F/Gas mark 6.
Grease a tin (23cm) thoroughly with 25gms of butter, then dust the inside of the tin with flour.
I used a square tin and a cake tin, to make both the cakes.
Using a mixer, blend the remaining butter and sugar together (I used my spatula), Slowly add the golden syrup, treacle, egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue mixing. Then add the flour, Until all the ingredients are well combined together.
Place the dates in a saucepan with 300ml water and bring to boil. Puree the water and date mixture and add the bicarbonate of soda. While it is still hot, quickly add this mixture to the egg mix. Once the mix is combined pour into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is just firm to the touch.
My Verdict: I made the date puree just as said above but it was not hot when I mixed it with the cake mixture. I blended all the wet ingredients first and then I added the flour little by little not mixing too much but well blended with the wet ingredients, then baked as said.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow to cool, then turn out of the tin and cut into squares.
EGGLESS STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH TOFFEE SAUCE
INGREDIENTS FOR THE EGGLESS CAKE:
1 Ripened banana mashed
3 1/2 tbsp of Canola oil (instead of 50 gms of butter).
First I took all the ingredients as said in the first recipe, expect for butter and eggs, I mixed all the wet ingredients first then pureed the dates made into 2 equal proportions, then to the first portion I added butter and eggs and then the flour.
For the second cake I again took the pureed dates into the mixie then again gave a nice whisk with flax seed powder and canola oil and blended them well in the mixer. To the mashed banana I added all the other ingredients without the butter and egg, combined well and poured into the baking tin and made a round cake.
Hope you understood what I have explained so stupidly, scroll down so you could understand what I was trying to tell you 🙂 🙁 !!! ????, Please contact me if you have any doubts.
I put both the tins together into the oven both of them almost took the same time to bake, just insert a skewer to check to know when it is done.
TO MAKE THE TOFFEE SAUCE
100 gms soft sugar
100 gms butter
200ml double cream
This was the ingredients given in the book, again I halved the ingredients and made the sauce, it was absolutely delicious, just like the toffee, absolutely yumillacious, too sweet for me!!
METHOD:
To make the sauce, melt the butter and sugar together in a small pan, add the cream and bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce reaches the desired consistency ( I made it until it was a semi thick batter).
To Serve, you can re-heat the sponge in a microwave or heat for 5 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees /Gas mark 4. Place onto a plate with lots of the sauce on the top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish.
Jamie even says that the sponge and sauce can be made in advance. The sponge can even be frozen and both can be plated up and re-heated in the microwave.
Make it and tell how it turned out!! enjoy .......... have a good day ahead and lovely weekend.
The flax seed powder is what I use in all the recipes where I have said flax seed powder to make my eggless bakes!!
I like to send this to champa's bake-of event.... Happy Baking

I have loads of these Goodies to post and they are just piling up in my folder, I just made this 2 days back, when my H forgot to get bread for my children, as they take only sandwiches I was quite upset, especially my son gets very hungry and if he doesn't eat at right time, he ends up having headaches :(, as I myself wasn't feeling well, I was really not upto make anything, After 3 long years (except when I go to India) I went to a resturant and had some food and some chat!!, which didnt seem to help me in any way, I had a tummy upset and I was quite tired. The whole day I had just yogurt and in the evening I ate some rice with yogurt again!!, coming back to my recipe I made myself up and decided I will bake something for my kids with what I have in hand, I saw 2 apples and thought of using them up, that is when I started searching for a recipe and I ended up here, like I have found gold, I started digging through her recipe Index and this caught my attention!!, I thought this was quite an interesting recipe and absolutely healthy one too, I had walnuts and Flaxseed too!!, how good is that!!, I was so happy, This lady has such a wonderful recipe collection and her write was very interesting too., with a carefree attitude with her cooking and writing and beautiful clicks, she mesmerized me, such an young talented and gifted, spirited person she is!!, Thanks Joy wilson I had such a Joy in baking this bread with your culinary skills.., Only thing is I tweaked it a little bit by making it Eggless, If you want to use eggs check out the recipe here.

EGGLESS APPLE, WALNUTS AND FLAXSEED BREAD

INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup All purpose Flour
3/4 Cup whole wheat flour
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar packed (I used Demerara granulated sugar)
2 tsp Baking Powder ( I used 1 tsp Baking Powder)
1 tsp Baking soda ( I used 2tsp Baking soda)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
2/3 Butter milk ( I used the milk which was in the process of becoming yogurt!!, halfway through!!)
1/3 cup Unsalted butter ( I used less than 1/4 cup may be 4 to 5 tbsp of canola oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Large eggs ( I omitted)
1 tbsp Flax seed Powder
1 cup Grated Apple ( I used 1 cup apple puree from 3 Apples as shown in pic)
1/2 coarsely chopped walnuts
4 tbsp of Maple syrup
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350 degree Farenheit, then line a baking loaf tin and keep aside.
I first sifted all the Dry ingredients the two flours, BP, BS, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg powder together and kept them ready
Then I peeled the skin of the apples cut them into segments and microwaved them for a minute and let them to cool.
Then in a mixie I gave a quick grinding to the apples and made them into a puree, to this I added flaxseed powder, buttermilk, canola and  maple syrup for a few minutes so they all combined well together.
I took this into a large bowl, added sugar and vanilla essence and whisked well until they blended well with the help of a hand whisk.
To this I started adding flour little by little until everything was together, to this I added chopped walnuts, I did not use any water as the batter was perfect, If it is dry try adding little water at a time, so it resembles the cake consistency.
Then pour this mixture into the prepared tin and bake it for 30 to 35 minutes or as always insert a tooth pick and check out if it done, that is the tooth pick comes out clean, This means your bread is done!!
Viola!! you have your lovely bread
My Verdict: The cake was a hit, my kids just loved it and promise it didn't really last long!!, It got over already, I baked it on Sunday night and it is tuesday today and is nothing left!!
The best moist, soft cake I ever baked, I think, it is a keeper, best of all kids had a very healthy food to consume!!
 
Look at the texture of the cake , it was perfect................
Look how perfectly I could slice the loaves, isn't it Gorgeous.......
