Mango Cake with chocolate layer

I live in Bangalore, India. The mango season is almost coming to an end here and you will hardly get good quality mango from now onwards. I kept a mango aside for some time thinking that I would try something new in my cake experiments :-).

Ingredients are refined wheat flour - One and half coffee cup, ripe mango cubes - almost a bowl, sugar - half cup, cocoa powder - 2 table spoon, mango custard powder - 1 table spoon, dark chocolate - 7/8 blocks, curd - half bowl, 2 eggs, vanilla essence - 2 tsp, baking powder - 1 tsp and baking soda - half tsp.

In a bowl, firstly the refined oil and the sugar are whisked and then eggs are added and whisked again. Then curd is added. Now when these ingredients are ready, the refined wheat flour is added. The grinded mango is added. Whisking continues and vanilla essence is added. Then mixed the baking powder and baking soda. The batter is almost ready.

In a cake tin, one tsp of oil is brushed uniformly over the inner surface. A little bit of flour is sprinkled over it - so that the cake can be removed easily once it is baked.

The batter is divided into 3 parts. One part is added to the cake container now. A thin layer is made by mixing cocoa powder and batter. This layer is added on top of the first layer. The third layer is made of the custard powder and the remaining batter. These constitutes the 3 layers of different colour and feel.

Now the cake tin is gently tapped to settle the mixture. It is then kept in a pre heated(180 degree) oven for 30 minutes.

After the cake is baked, the melted chocolate is laid on top and a little bit of sprinkles are also added. Let the cake settles for 30 minutes.

It is ready :-). Happy baking.

Payas with jaggery and honey

Payas, perhaps the most loved dessert of India, is so easy to prepare. Where there are different ways to prepare the same, I too tried little differently. It came out really well.

Coming to the ingredients used, the payas was prepared for 4 people. A very unique rice available in Assam is used for the purpose, it is called Kon Joha(of Divine Harvest), which I got from Axom Haat here in Bangalore. Three and a half handful of rice, 800 ml milk, crushed cardamom 3 pieces, six-seven saffron strings for garnishing, one table spoon of desi ghee, organic jaggery powder for sweeten the kheer - 4 table spoon to my taste and one table spoon of honey have been used. Two small bay leaves are also used. Cashew and raisin are another two ingredients.

Payas - old indian kitchen

Now, let's see how to prepare the payas. Firstly, boil the milk. Once boiled, keep it in low flame. Now the crushed cardamom and bay leaves are added. Then rice is added and steered after every three or four minutes. After almost half an hour, when the rice is almost 70% cooked, jaggery and honey are added. This may vary person to person based on their taste. Let the whole thing mixed uniformly. Cashew and raisins are added. After a while, the rice is cooked completely. At this point, turn off the flame and ghee, saffrons are added for garnishing. Payas is ready to be served.

Mishti Dahi | A modified version | Lockdown recipe

Suddenly, mishti dahi has become one of my favourites when it comes to deserts or any other time pass food! I have bought from local stores - a good number of mishti dahi bowels, but the appetite was still growing strong day by day. I realised that it would be good it that can be prepared at home without any preservatives. More importantly, the kid started considering it as a regular side dish. So, I started giving it a thought and tried to find suitable methods to prepare it. It was my first attempt, but it was diligently done and to all my excitement, it came out as a winner! Let me share the recipe with you so that you can share it with your near and dear ones. 

Ingredients required are milk half litre (full fat milk), sugar(4 table spoon for caramelising and 2 table spoon for sweetening), Kesar(strings half tsp), cardamom power(1/4th tsp), plain yogurt (3 tbsp).

Mishti Dahi

Milk is thickened by heating in low to medium flame for ten to fifteen minutes. As per taste, sugar is added. In another container, sugar is caramelised. Now both caramelised sugar and thickened milk are mixed with cardamom powder and kesar. After a good mix is done, the item is brought to temperature which can just be touched - warm. The plain yogurt is whisked and mixed with the warm milk. The whole mixture is now kept in an earthen pot or a clay pot or any steel pot covered with steel foil or air tight cover. Steam can be applied on the container for 10-15 minutes. Then it should be kept to settle for around eight hours. When it is set, it can be put in refrigerator for two to three hours. 

Please note that in winter, the curd may take upto 24 hours to get settle. 

Your mishti dahi is ready! Happy eating.

Khorisa | Bamboo shoot | Old Indian Kitchen

One of my most favorite aroma based lists of foods, bamboo shoot is really close to my heart. From the childhood, I remember mom cooking so called khorisa or baah gaaj quite often, it actually sits in the traditional thali of Assam. The flavor it produced is so different, so natural by its own. In fact, bamboo shoot is consumed in different parts of India - it is known by different local names. Apart from India, in many countries of Asia also, it is consumed.

Raw bamboo shoot contains natural toxins, which need to be destroyed by boiling and through the process of cooking. The toxin also gets destroyed in the process of canning.

The outer fibrous layer of the young bamboo shoots are stripped off first. The inner little bit of creamy white core is crushed or grated and then it is kept in a sterilized pot. After closing pot, it is left to ferment naturally for a week or so. Once fermented, the pulp is separated and excess water is squeezed out. Now, this fermented pulp is stored in a container for a year or even more, it is popularly known as poka khorisa. Many people dry it under the sun too. It is often used to make pickle by mixing salt, mustard oil and ghost chilies(found in Assam).
