JACKFRUIT QUICK BREAD RECIPE

Jackfruit Quick Bread Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

An easy recipe of quick bread using tropical fruit, jackfruit.

As I have a balance of jackfruit, am thinking what to make out of this  fruit  which  was rich in dietary fiber, minerals and antioxidants.

Jackfruit has a  intoxicating aroma  and a seed,  Before baking, Jackfruit Quick Bread,  remove  the seeds then chopped into small chunks.  I only used a cup since that was what I have.

Also opt for lesser sweet version by adding half a cup of sugar.  The batter is a bit thicker but don't worry it baked to perfection in 50 minutes flat.   You may check the  Jackfruit Quick Bread  after 50 minutes using a cake tester.

If you;re a vegan, replace butter with oil,  and  eggs with  2 mashed banana or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.

If you like nuts, add about half a cup of chopped walnut or pecan.

EASY FISH CURRY RECIPE

Easy Fish Curry Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


Fish curry is one of the most loved dish in Singapore especially fish head.

While there are variations  of fish curry originated from each state of India, mostly they used fresh spice mix unlike here, we used a ready made fish  curry powder (masala) that  was available in  the market.

During the olden days, we  have to get our own coconut milk by squeezing fresh grated coconut with water then strain.  But that was a thing of the past since a tetra pack coconut milk is being used now.

With hectic and busy lifestyle, most  women go for a quick and readily available ingredients.  Even now, you could find semi cooked  fish curry.  No peeling or grinding of  onion etc, just open the packet, heat it and add fish slices.    Your meal are ready in minutes.

My Easy Fish Curry did not use coconut milk but you could include about a cup of coconut milk if you like.  Also if you like sourish curry, add a bit more tamarind.

Besides taken with rice, this Easy Fish Curry goes well with flatbread, dosa or bread.

Mocha Oatmeal Cake Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

Enjoy this oatmeal cake that is flavored with coffee and cocoa.

This Mocha Oatmeal Cake  is a perfect dessert to enjoy with family and friends.   Addition of oatmeal is a great way to include fiber in your diet too.
.
The rolled oat  is soaked in coffee for 20 minutes before adding to the batter.

I have used a wire whisk  to beat the butter and sugar but you could use a  mixer to do the job.

Mocha Oatmeal Cake turns out  gorgeous with no cracks and utterly moist.   I think the sweetness is on a lighter side ,  you may add extra sugar for a sweeter version.
