Pumpkin and Walnut Ring Cake

I love cooking pumpkin or kaddu ki sabzi. But pumpkin is widely used in baking as well. Pumpkin along with some spices gives great taste and softness to a cake. This is a simple cake inspired from a recipe by RoseLevyBeranbaum . She uses cake flour which I have replaced with flour and corn flour. Also, I have reduced the amount of oil used. This cake comes out extremely soft and moist. It's a must try. Ingredients: Flour - 1 cup Corn flour - 1/4 cup Baking Soda - 1 tsp Cinnamon powder - 1tsp Clove powder - 1/4 tsp Nutmeg powder - 1/4 tsp Salt - 1/4 tsp Chopped and toasted Walnuts - 1/2 cup Eggs - 2 Granulated Sugar - 3/4 cup Oil - 80 ml Fresh Pumpkin puree - 1 cup Method: 1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. 2. Grease a bundt pan with oil and dust it with flour. 3. Sift the flour and cake flour. Add the spices, salt and baking soda to the flour mix. 4. Add the walnuts to the flour and coat them well with flour. 5. In a bowl beat the eggs, sugar...

Khatte-Meethe Karele (Sweet and Sour Bitter Gourd)

Bitter Gourd is perhaps the most disliked vegetable. Who likes to eat something so bitter?? On the contrary in my opinion it is one of the best accompaniment to a meal. To get rid of some of the bitterness of the Karela, cut it and sprinkle some salt over them and leave for 2-3 hours. Then wash properly and squeeze out the excess water. Since the karelas have soaked the salt, we don’t need to add more while cooking them. Now for the khatte meethe karele we need jaggery and tamarind. I’ve used palm jaggery but the other one can also be used. The tamarind should be soaked in water for 20-30 mins. After which squeeze it nicely with fingers and strain to get the pulp. These days readymade tamarind pulp is also easily available. Ingredients: Bitter Gourd or Karela - 500 grams ( cut in small pieces) Mustard Oil - 1.5tsp Onions - 2 medium sized chopped Coriander Powder - 2tsp Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp Fennel Seeds (saunf) - 2 tsp Jaggery - ...

Air-Fried Kurkuri Bhindi

Bhindi is everyone’s favourite. I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like it. When I was a kid, during the summer vacations the job of cutting Bhindi would be given to me. I loved doing that. My favourite meal still is arhar dal, Bhindi and chapattis. Kurkuri bhindi is a versatile dish. It can be served as a side with the main meal or as I like it more, just as a snack. Trust me however you serve it, it will vanish in no time. Cooking it in the air-fryer ensures usage of very little oil. The taste remains the same. Bhindi - 250 gm Curd - 1 tbsp Besan - 1 tbsp Salt to taste Coriander Powder - 2 tsp Red chilli Powder - 1/2 tsp Garam Masala - 1 tsp Oil - 2 tsp Wash and dry the Bhindi. Preferably let them dry for some time so that no moisture is left. Cut the Bhindi longitudinally. One Bhindi into 4 pieces. Mix curd, besan, salt, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala in a bowl. Coat the Bhindi strips in ...
