New Recipes

V and I have been experimenting with new recipes.. of late we are leaning towards healthy recipes and using lesser sugar, mainly because the hubby is diabetic

First in the list is an Oats, Fig and nuts cake

Recipe

Ingredients:
Oats - ½ cup
Whole Wheat flour - ¼ cup
Maida /All Purpose Flour - ¼ cup
Fig - 5 nos chopped
Honey - 3 tbsp
Almond - 2 tbsp chopped
Brown Sugar - ¼ cup
Baking Soda - 1 tsp
Curd - ¼ cup
Oil - ¼ cup
Vanilla Essence - ½ tsp
Milk - ⅓ cup
Cinnamon powder - ¼ tsp

Grease a cake pan and set aside. Preheat the oven at 180 ° for 10 mins

In a small bowl add little milk and soak the chopped first while you make ready the other ingredients.

Seive the flour, baking soda, cinnamon powder in a mixing bowl. Add the oats, mix well and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, take curd and sugar and whisk till smooth and sugar is dissolved. Add milk, vanilla essence, oil and stir well.

Add in the flour mix, chopped figs, chopped almond (both reserving some for topping) and fold gently and make a smooth batter without lumps.

Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 35-40 mins. Start checking from 35 mins. A tooth pick inserted should come out clean.

Remove it from the oven, let it stand for 5-10 mins. Invert it and let it cool down completely, cut and serve.

Next is a Ragi, Dates Cake

I was so tired on this day and allowed V to just handle the baking. She did everything here.. and the cake turned out absolutely delicious

Mid-year post

We are in the 6th month of the year already!!! And so, time for me to put up the next month all done up

I almost forgot that May was over and I had to finish up June. I had just enough card board for the finish, phew.
I am not very happy with the red cord finish. By the time I could stick the cord to the piece, it losened up a bit :(



I tried another mango dessert over the weekend - Mango mousse

The recipe source was an old newspaper cutting.

I have cut down on my gaming time and have made a little progress with November. I now have only the border at the bottom left. Will post a finish soon.

That's about it from me today friends. Till next time.. Take care. Be happy.. Keep stitching.. Au Revoir
