Pineapple cake

Before I start today's recipe I must share something with you all. I was not at all good on making cake while I was in India. But after I came here I started making really tasty cakes.Do you know why? I was not patience enough to make a cake. But as I have lot of free time in my hand I am making cakes very patiently and carefully.So one thing about making a good cake is patience; irrespective of wherever you are or whatever is happening , you have to give full concentration on your cake if you want to make really good cakes.
Ingredients:

For Cake:
  • 250gms flour
  • 250gms of granulated sugar
  • 75gms butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
For Icing:
  • 2 cups of whipping cream
  • 1 cup of icing sugar(approximately)
For Decoration:
  • 1 small pineapple(cut in small slice)
  • 2-3 strawberries 
Procedure:

  • Break all four eggs and pour it in a mixing bowl.
  • Start beating it with the help of hand mixer in a medium speed.
  • Slowly add the sugar and keep on beating until you mix all the sugar and the mixture become double in size and very very light weight.
  • Melt the butter in microwave and add it in the mixture.Don't pour it hot.Let it cool down a little bit then add it.
  • Add vanilla in it and beat it for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Now sieve the flour on the mixture and mix it very slowly and carefully.
  • Grease two cake tin with oil or butter and sprinkle some flour in it.
  • Pour equal amount of cake mixture on both the tins.
  • Preheat your oven at 350degree Fahrenheit or 180 degree Celsius.
  • Bake it for 15-20mins.
  • For making icing, take a bowl,pour the whipping cream and start beating it in a high speed.
  • Start adding icing sugar in it.Do not add all at a time.Keep on beating until you mix all the sugar.when it will become nice and foamy stop beating.One more thing you can do to check if it reaches to right consistency or not.With the help of the whisk or spoon take off some cream and turn it backward.If the cream do not drop from the spoon then you will understand that it is in right consistency.
  • Blend some pineapple in a mixture and squeeze the juice from it.Then add a teaspoon of sugar and mix it well.
  • Take both the cake and sprinkle about 2 teaspoon of the juice on each cake.If your cake top is not even then cut it evenly with a flat knife because we want a layered cake and for that even cake is must.
  • Take a spatula or flat knife and add a good quantity of whipped cream on top of each cake and flatten it properly.
  • Place pineapple slice on top of one cake.Put as much slice as you can but make sure that the slice are thin.You can make thick slice as well but in that case it will be difficult to cut the cake.
  • Put the other cake on top of it putting the cream side downward.
  • Now take some more icing and cover the top and the edges of the cake with it.Remember one thing , this icing is just a start up this is not a final icing so do not put lot of whipped cream,rather take small amount of cream and spread it across evenly so that it forms a very thin layer on the cake.
  • Put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
  • After an hour we will do second layer of icing.Now take a good quantity of whipped cream and spread it all over the cake.Flatten it with a flat knife or spatula and make a smooth ,flat icing.
  • Put it into the refrigerator again for an hour.
  • After that fill you piping bag and decorate your cake with whipped cream,strawberry and pineapple.I used some star cones to decorate it , you can choose your own decoration style.Now your cake is ready to serve.
I am really sorry that I was not being able to take step by step picture of this recipe as I had to concentrate on each step.But I promise that the next time I will make this cake I will take all step by step procedure and will upload it here.Till then enjoy cooking :)

Paneera Bread

First of all a very Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. I am really sorry that I was not being able to post this recipe for quite a long time.So today as a penalty I will share two recipe together.First we will make a breakfast and then lunch/dinner.
So lets start with the breakfast.

But if you are quite slim you can add it.Otherwise if you are taking it as a snacks you can add one cheese slice.Otherwise no need to add.
  • Prepare the other two bread as above.

  • If you don't have sandwich grill you can make it in sandwich maker as well as in any frying pan.If you are doing it on frying pan please do add cheese otherwise it wont be able to hold the paneer mixture together.One thing is the texture that you can get in sandwich grill won't be possible in others but taste will be almost same for all.
  • Now cut the bread diagonally and serve it hot. The crunchy bread outside with soft and juicy paneer filling will melt in your mouth.
Enjoy this breakfast....Happy cooking :)

Chicken Momo

Though Momo was originated in Nepal but it is famous in all over the world. Momo is not only a very good breakfast or snacks but also it is a very healthy food for anyone. I still remember I used to have those momo's in Exide crossing (a very popular place in Kolkata) while returning from office.They used to set up the Momo stall just beside RabindraSadan Metro Station. Knowing the popularity of the dish I am pretty sure that those stalls are still there and many people like me, do equally enjoy those momos in the street itself.They served those Momos with soup and one special hot chatni. Today I am going to share the whole recipe with you......





Ingredients:

  1. 100gms ground chicken(chicken kima)
  2. chopped cabbage 1/2 cup
  3. chopped onion 1/2 cup
  4. chopped carrot 1/2 cup
  5. chopped ginger 1 teaspoon
  6. chopped garlic 1 teaspoon
  7. chopped green chili 1-2 teaspoon(optional)
  8. 1 teaspoon black pepper powder.
  9. 1 teaspoon salt (as required)
  10. 200gms of flour.
  11. 3-4 teaspoon of oil.
Procedure:
  • First of all we have to prepare a dough. For making the dough take a bowl,add flour,a pinch of salt, 2 teaspoon of oil and mix it well.Now add about 1 cup of water (not all at a time,mix it slowly) and mix it really well to make a smooth dough.Knead the dough very well and let it rest for about 10-15min.Cover it with a wet soft towel or a wet paper.
  • Take a frying pan and put it on medium heat.Add 2 teaspoon of oil and let it get warm.
  • Add all the chicken ,ginger garlic and vegetables one by one.Make sure the vegetables are finely chopped ,otherwise momo's will not taste good.add pepper and salt in it and fry it for maximum 5-6min in high flame. Now let it cool down.
  • Now take the dough and cut it into several small pieces like we used to do while preparing luchi or puri.
  • Give it a small circular shape with a roller(just like luchi)
  • Put the staffing in the center and give it any shape you want to give.Best way is to put it in the middle of your palm then try to close your palm.It will take a shape automatically .You just need to lock both the side by pressing it together.
  • One more thing you can do is to take one side of the circular piece,and give it a shape like you are waring sari (kuchi deoar moto). So it will become a pocket with design on one side.Now put the chicken mixture in it and then close it by pressing both the sides together.
  • Boil some water in your rice cooker.You can do it in your idli maker as well  in any normal pot.Just we need a plate with hole in it and which can be put on the pot. Fill half of your pot with water and let it boil.Then grease the plate(which has several hole in it) with oil and place 5-6 momos (depending on the size of the plate) in it.Then cover it with the lid and let it cook for at least 15-20 mins in medium heat.If you are using rice cooker just boil some water in rice cooker and place the momo in the plate that comes with it and cook it for 15min and same for idli maker.Just instead of idli you need to put the momos on it.
  • For preparing the chatni take some (6-8)red chili,1 clove of garlic,and 1/2 cup vinegar.Put it together in a bowl and let it rest for about 30-40min.Then take a mixer grinder and make a smooth paste of it.Add a little bit of salt in it .
  • For preparing the soup please refer to my soup recipe or you can add some chopped vegetable,salt and pepper powder in the boiling water to make the soup as well.
  • Now serve the hot momo with chatni and soup.
For my vegetarian friend you can replace the chicken with some more cabbage or capsicum and  then enjoy it equally like the non-veg people do.Happy cooking :)

As my husband is a pure and honest non-vegetarian I had to replace all the vegetable with chicken. Today I will show you my own version of lasagne which is slightly modified according to my taste or you can say I have 'Indianzed' the recipe. I will surely gonna show you the traditional lasagne on my upcoming post but for the time being I am sharing 'Indian Chicken Lasagne'..

*you can replace ragu with your own sauce. you can easily make it at home. Take 2-3 tomato's, 1 small size onion and 3-4 cloves of garlic in a mixer and make a smooth paste.In a pan add about 2 teaspoon of oil and pour the mixture. Add 2-3 teaspoon of chopped parsley and cook it for 5 min.let it cool down and your tomato,garlic,onion sauce (red sauce)is ready.

Procedure:
  • put your frying pan in high flame and add 2 teaspoon of oil.
  • add diced chicken,let it get light brown and then turn it.
  • sprinkle some salt and black pepper on it.Then add chopped garlic and let it mix with the chicken.After that add rest of the pepper powder and tomato sauce and fry it for another 5 min in low flame.
  • take a big container,fill it with a lot of water and let it boil.Add 1 table spoon of salt in it.When it start boiling add lasagne sheets into it and let it boil for 5-7 min.Remember the quantity of the water should be so that all the sheets go inside it.After 5min remove the sheets from the water and immediately wash it with cold water and put it aside.
  • take a separate bowl.Add 1 cup ricota,1 cup parmesan,1 egg,1teaspoon salt,1 cup chopped coriander and mix it really well.This is our white sauce.
  • Now we have to do the layering.Take a baking tray and spread 2table spoon of ragu or the red sauce on the tray.Then put 4 sheets on top of it so that all the sauce get covered.While doing that make sure that one sheet do overlap with other.
  • Then put 1/3rd of white sauce on top of it and spread it evenly.
  • Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top of it evenly.
  • Add one third of the chicken on top of that and on top of the chicken add one third of the red sauce.Again put 4 lasagne sheets and repeat the process.
  • You can make how many layers you want but I prefer to do 2-3.
  • Do not put sheets on the last layer . Just add the chicken , the sauce on top of it ,sprinkle some shredded mozzarella and some chili flakes on top of it.

Marble Cake

The idea of combining two different colored batters into a cake originated in nineteenth century in Germany. It is a cake with a mottled appearance achieved by very lightly blending of light and dark batter which gives a texture of marble. Originally the cakes were marbled with molasses and spices. The first recorded Jewish recipe for a marble cake appears in an American cookbook called “Aunt Babette’s Cook Book: Foreign and Domestic Receipts for the Household,” published in 1889. This recipe replaced the molasses and spice combination by marbling chocolate into the cake.
So lets start making Marble cake at home... :)
Ingredients:

 *For making any cake the quantity of every ingredients is very important.So please maintain the exact quantity what I will mention.

  1. 225gm flour
  2. 250gm powder sugar(you can put normal sugar in mixer to make it powder sugar)
  3. 100gm butter
  4. 50gm dark chocolate
  5. 1/2 cup milk
  6. 4 egg
  7. 1/3rd teaspoon baking powder
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Procedure:

  • brake all the eggs in a mixing bowl ,add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence and beat it in a uniform speed(I prefer speed 3) for about 10-15 min or till it becomes nice and foamy and reaches to ribbon state.
  • The best way to understand if it reached to ribbon state or not is to put off your hand mixer from it and try to make a '8' with the help of its front portion on it.If the '8' disappear very quickly then it is on its correct stage.I am attaching a picture for your reference.
  • put the butter in microwave for about 1min and it will be melted.
  • now take a separate bowl and add the sugar in it and beat it for about 5-6 minutes in a lower speed(preferably at 2) until it becomes nice and foamy.

  • now pour the half of the egg mixture in it and mix it very slow with a spatula. You have to mix with hand and if you mix with beater then all the air that was trapped in the egg and butter will be vanished and the cake will become hard. then pour the remaining egg mixture and mix it slowly.
  • now sieve the flour and baking powder on top of the mixture,add the milk and again mix it slowly.
  • then put your chocolate in microwave oven for 1 minutes for melting it.
  • put 1/3rd of the cake mixture in a separate bowl and pour the melted chocolate in it.Again mix it slowly until it get mixed evenly.

  • take a oven proof flat tray(not a glass tray) or you can buy aluminum trays for making cake.Grease some butter or oil in it.sprinkle a little bit of flour so that it can come out easily.Or else you can take a parchment paper and put it on the tray and then can apply some oil in it. we are doing this so that your cake does not stick to the tray and can easily come out.
  • now pour half of the white mixture in the tray then flatten it with a spatula,then pour the chocolate mixture on top it and again flatten it with the spatula and at the end pour the remaining white mixture on top of it.It means we actually made three layer first with white,second with dark and third with white.
  • don't worry if it get mix a little bit while flattening.
  • now take a knife or a spoon and try to draw a zik zak pattern on the cake or try to make some '8' with it.After that you can see that your batter will look like a piece of marble.
  • now preheat your oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit which is 180 degree Celsius and keep it for 20-25 minutes.For those who are in India have to bake it in convection mode after preheating.
  • after 20-25 minutes take out the cake and insert a tooth pic in it. then take out the tooth peak and check if it is clean or not. If your tooth pick comes out clean means your cake is ready if not then you have to bake it more.
  • after taking out the cake let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes.Do not de-mold  it immediately.
  • after 10-15 min, take out the parchment paper and put the cake on a plate and cut it into piece.
  • If you haven't use parchment paper just take a knife and run it through the edges of the cake,put a plate on top of it and then turn the tray.
  • Remember this cake wont rise double of the batter like the other cakes. It will rise a little bit than the batter and will be very spongy.
  • do not put it in refrigerator. Put it in a air tight container and it will taste same for at least 7 day.
For making a good cake you have to be very patience,caring and loving. If you can put these qualities 
while preparing your cake it will definitely become a big hit among your friends and family.
So enjoy your cooking and make everyone happy... :)

Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Tikka Masala is a very famous dish in India.Though the history of this dish is a little controversial but It is commonly believed that Chicken Tikka Masala was originated in an Indian restaurants run by Bangladeshi chefs. There is a saying that, once a  British gentleman in 1960s thought that  his Chicken Tikka was too dry and demanded a better dish. Then the chef tossed it in a can of Campbell’s tomato soup, sprinkled some spices and added a dollop of yogurt to the dish. 450 years after Babar’s reign, this hybrid dish was introduced in Glasgow(UK) and named as Chicken Tikka Masala.
During and after the independence movement of India the British not only had taken away  the precious Kohinoor Diamond but also declared our 'Chicken Tikka Masala' as a true British National Dish.
