Tutti Frutti Cake (Microwave & Eggless)

This cake is an all-time favorite dish for all the age groups. You can prepare it on any ocassion without giving any second thought.

The tutty-fruity on the icing was so eye-catching and attractive that my three-year old daughter didnt want the cake to be cut :) Another snap-shot of the cake is :

Sugar – 1 cup

Butter – 1 cup

Baking Powder – ½ tsp

Tutti - Frutti (red & green) – 2 tbsp

Icing –

Whipped cream – 4 cups

Tutty – Fruity – 2 tbsp

Soaking Syrup ( 2 tsp powder sugar dissolved completely in 1/2 cup water)

Paneer Wraps - Low Fat & Healthy Breakfast

Paneer Wrap

These wraps are so tempting and irresistible that you would like to add it to your weekly breakfast plan. The plus point here is that the recipe is very easy and quick. You can do most of the preparation a night before.

When I make this recipe, I always prefer to make this sabji- chinese style cabbage stir-fry for the dinner with some extra cabbage so that I can use the leftover sabji for 'paneer wrap' in the break-fast. Dough and Low fat paneer can also be prepared a night before and keep in the refrigerator. So, on a hurried morning I just need to cook the chapati and assemble the wrap.

To keep the fat-content in check, I've use home made low fat paneer. Also I've used whole wheat chapati, unlike the street food where they use oily lachha paranthas to make this wrap. So the overall outcome is a good deal of healthy and yummy break fast.

Makes : 1 Paneer wrap
Preparation Time : 5 min
Cooking Time : 2 min

Things Required :

things required for paneer wrap

As the above image clearly shows, we'll need

• 1 tsp tomato ketchup
• 1/2 tsp chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp 1 inch long, thin strips of low fat paneer
• 2 tbsp Chinese style cabbage stir fry
• 1/2 tsp fresh coriander (finely chopped)
• Whole wheat dough for 1 chapati
• Aluminium foil

Procedure -

1. Roll out a chapati using the whole wheat dough and cook on both the sides on a hot griddle/tawa using a cotton handkerchief.

2. Place the cooked chapati on a plate. Spread tomato ketchup and chilli sauce and then put chinese style cabbage stir-fry and fresh coriander across the centre of the chapati. Like this :

3. Over this arrange the low fat paneer slices side by side in a queue.

4. Fold over both the sides and wrap half the roll with aluminium foil.

5. Serve immediately.

Tip : Assemble the wrap just before serving as it may turn soggy becuase of the layer of sauces inside.

Chinese style Cabbage Stir-fry

Add caption

A very quick recipe. Just takes about 7-8 minutes to get cooked and preparation time is as much as you spend in shredding your cabbage. I never opt for cutting the cabbage, rather I prefer to use a slicer to get fine and equal shreds and the job is done in barely 2 minutes.

This sabji can be served as a side dish with whole wheat parathas. I use the left-over sabji to make paneer wraps for a healthy breakfast.

Preparation Time : 2 min
Cooking Time : 2 min
Serves : 2

Ingredients -

Cabbage (shredded) - 4 cups
Oil - 1 tsp
Soy Sauce - 1 tsp
Tomato Ketchup - 1 tbsp
Chilli Sauce/red chilli powder/green chilies (finely chopped)- to taste
Vinegar - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Fresh Coriander (finely chopped) - 1 tbsp (for the garnish)

Procedure -

1. Heat oil in a non-stick deep pan.
2. Add cabbage and salt. Saute for 5 min on medium-high flame. Keep stirring continuously.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix and Saute for 2 minutes more.
4. Taste the veggie and adjust the seasoning.
5. Garnish with coriander and serve.

Tip - The end result should not be completely cooked cabbage, rather it should be crunchy (semi-cooked) and spicy.

Next time i followed the original recipe procedure and churned the gravy after cooking onions and tomatoes and friends, speaking the truth, the taste of this gravy is really worth the effort!!

This weekend when I went to my mum’s place, she made this delicious breakfast- bread idli for us. She makes this recipe like no-one-else-can in the universe. Her bread-idli’s have crispy bottom layer and very soft upper layer.

This recipe has four parts.

 1.     Cutting the bread roundels.

 2.       Preaparing the potato mixture.

 3.       Preparing the yoghurt mixture.

 4.       Assembling.

       Procedure –
·         Cut each bread into circular discs by pressing your cookie cutter/bowl/lid over the bread.
·         Do not throw away the remaining parts, dry them and crush to get bread-crumbs. Store the bread crumbs in air-tight container.

2.Ingredients  for Potato mixture-

4.       Spread the 1 and ½ tsp of yoghurt-mixture on the bread roundels.
5.       Cover each bread-idli with a stain-less steel bowl and let it cook for 5 minutes on sim flame.
6.    After 5 minutes, remove the bowls from the griddle very carefully (using a kitchen towel/ mittens). Bowls get very hot. 

     7.    By now, you will observe the breads have soaked the yoghurt entirely and the bottom layer has become crisp.

This is a very quick recipe, you can prepare it even on a busy morning(weekday) in very little time. It is made up of all the healthy ingredients.. brown bread, salads, cheese (definately healthy for kids ;) )

I've used diet eggless mayonnaise in the recipe, you can use the regular one too, that doesn't make any difference to the recipe or taste. Beginners may be new to this ingredient, so here is one screen-shot of the product. Also. I've used one more very tasty, store-bought, ready-to-use ingredient called 'pizza topping'. This is a great product from fun foods. Its creamy texture enhances the taste of pizzas, burgers and sandwiches many times. Screen shot of this product is also available here.

TRIcolor Sandwich

tricolor sandwich

These sandwiches can be made in the morning for kid's tiffin, or one may even carry it while travelling.

I've used white bread for this recipe because it is softer than brown bread but you can use brown bread equally. Also, I've used cheese slice in this sandwich as I prepared it for my kiddo, but for adults u can skip cheese slice. For Pear Jam, you can find the recipe here

Recipe :

Preparation time: 5 min
Cooking time : NA
Serve : 4 Sandwich

Ingredients :

White Bread : 4 slice
Kisan Mix Fruit Jam : 2 tsp
Amul Butter : 1 tsp
Pear Jam or Any Green Color Jam : 2 tsp
Cheese Slice : 1

Procedure :

1.  Cut the corners of all the bread slices.
2.  Apply Kisan Mix Fruit Jam on 1 slice.
3.  Cover it with 2nd slice of bread and apply amul butter on it.
4.  Place a cheese slice on this buttered bread slice.
5.  Cover it with the 3rd bread slice and apply pear jam on it.
6.  Cover it with the last bread slice.

If the sandwiches are to be consumed after a few hours, then wrap them individually in cling-film, sandwich will remain fresh.

Pear Jam / Nashpati Jam

 

This bright green color jam is so attractive and tasty, my hubby says its much tastier than any store-bought jam. No doubt, its healthy, nutritious, made in hygiene of your kitchen and tastes amazing.

This jam was made to get rid of a batch of unripe pears, the fruit-seller decieved me. I wanted to buy fully ripened pears to make fruit-salad but could use them as they were unripe. They were hard, not that sweet and juicy. So, instead of waiting for the pears to get ripe, I decided to make a jam and the outcome was delectable.

My daughter loves the tricolor sandwich I prepare for her using this jam. I also make open green toasts with this jam. Here's the recipe of tricolor sandwich.

This jam has a shelf-life of 3-4 months.

Recipe

Ingredients :

Grated Pear (washed and peeled) - 2 cups
Sugar - 2 cups
Water - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Green color - 5-6 drops

Method :

1. Take a non-stick pan and mix everything except the color.
2. Put the pan on medium-high flame till the mixture starts boiling, stir the mixture oftenly to avoid the fruit from sticking at the base of the pan.
3. After a boil, reduce the heat and cook the mixture for 40-45 min, stirring occasionally, so that pears get cooked and become soft. Do not cover the pan.
4. Mix the green color.
5. If u notice alot of water on the sides of the pan, cook the mixture on high flame by making a well in the centre of the pan (this speedens up the procedure of evaporating water thereby minimizing the risk of burning the food at the bottom).
6. Cook till it gets thick and jam-like. Remember, we will keep it in fridge and the mixture will get thicker after cooling down and upon refrigeration.
7. Let it cool at room temprature.
8. Store in sterelized, air-tight glass jar.
9. Refrigerate.

Note : If you want to have a very fine texture of the jam, u can puree the pears.
You can also flavour it with cinnamon, for that, add 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder in step 1.
