BAKED PAKODA

This Baked Pakoda  is one of the most mouth watering and delicious Indian snacks normally deep fried in oil until crispy.

 Made of besan (chickpeas flour) which is rich in protein, carbohydrates but gluten free. It is more flavorful thickener than wheat flour. The same flour is used to make bonda, pakora, papadum, bhaji and many more in Indian cooking.

 I too love to eat this but hesitant since it is fried. So tried the baked version,  Baked  Pakoda  turns out amazing minus the oil, we enjoyed having it with a cup of tea.

CHICKEN IN HOT SOY SAUCE

After having curry dishes all the time, felt must have a change to the way we are cooking and this dish came to my mind. Using bird's eye chili for extra kick, don't let the color alarmed you,it is truly delicious and pretty quick to prepare. You could adjust the spice level and the gravy needed according to your taste.

CHOCOLATE RING

I love baking bread, it is soothing and great satisfaction for me and not to mention the end result is so much better than buying ones at the store.

 Baked this Chocolate Ring  for our breakfast, it's quite similar to cinnamon rolls but for this bread we shaped into ring by joining the two ends, sprinkle with chocolate rice or chocolate chip and sugar after spreading the butter. It tasted wonderful and mildly sweet taste. Stay tuned for my next baking project..

CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING AND A CARD

Of late my son seems to have lost interest in taking bread with his usual spread, it's a pity to see the loaf lying untouched in the pantry. To save this from wastage I have baked this eggless pudding using the bread slices and it turns out amazing and is a hit with my family.

INGREDIENTS

8 slices bread shredded
1 cup water
1 cup evaporated milk
7 tablespoons fine sugar
2 tablespoons cornflour
1 heaped tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup raisin

METHOD

* Soak the bread in water for 15 minutes. Preheat oven @ 180 C.

* Combine together milk, sugar, cornflour, cocoa, raisin and essence until well combined.

* Pour the mixture onto bread, mix well. Pour into 7 inches greased pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

* The pudding could be taken warm or cold.
