Food & Memories of Mangalore
Tutti Frutti – what a great invention I say! It somehow adds such a sparkle to simple cakes, doesn’t it? However, one can have a love-hate relationship with it. I have disliked it as a child and would twitch my nose if I found it hidden inside cakes, sweet breads & buns. However, over the…
Gulab Jamun Syrup Drink! Did you hear about this before? Well, I guess not because I hadn’t either. It is said that necessity is the mother of all inventions and today’s recipe fits the bill. It was born out of the sheer necessity to use up leftover syrup from gulab jamuns that I had made…
The mango season is in full gusto in most parts of the world even if it has tapered off in India. We are still continuing to enjoy the lovely flavours and varieties of mangoes here in the UAE. My most favourite after the alphonso mango is the chausa/choosa variety and although it does look a…
Immunitea, one of the different ways to make herbal tea that tastes so delicious that you will want to ditch your cuppa caffeine! Yes my dear friends! Ever since I came across this recipe I have been hooked on to it. At the very beginning of the covid season I had received a forward on Whatsapp which was an audio of a lady who spoke in Konkani giving out the instructions of how to make kashaya – herbal decoction at home to boost one’s immunity. I made a mental note of the ingredients and set to work when I had gathered all the ingredients. Initially I did not have fresh turmeric (root) so I made the concoction with with organic turmeric powder (which smells very potent and divine by the way), over a period of time I tweaked the recipe…
A deliciously moist, pineapple flavoured pastry is waiting for you today. Hello folks! How many of you like this kind of a classic, bakery style pastry, also called as pastry cake. Well, I am sure this cake reminds you of your own experiences with pastries that were sold in bakeries in India (or perhaps elsewhere too). Pastries were rich, moist and expensive during my growing up years and they adorned the glass cake display of almost every bakery worth its salt. Pineapple and Black Forest used to be my favourite flavours. The other most common flavours were coffee, butterscotch and chocolate. Mango made its appearance during the season. However, not all pastries tasted that good. Most of them used imitation cream and you could tell the difference, however, did we care? No siree! I always believed that pastries were meant…
Hello folks! I am back again with another video and hence reposting this recipe. I had first shared this recipe on Mar 30, 2014 and have made it a zillion times over the years. This is one of my absolute favourite banana bread recipes and so I decided to shoot a video. So do scroll down below and watch it! This banana bread is very easy to make as the steps are very simple. It is dense and flavourful. Cut the loaf into thick slices and toast them if you wish. Slather with some butter and you have the perfect breakfast. You know I love those banana breads that are displayed at any breakfast buffet at hotels. I never miss tasting a slice or two whenever I am on a holiday. You can recreate the same magic with this recipe….
Folks, my oven has seen a lot of baking this lockdown. Some were recipes that I had booked marked eons ago and it felt like the lockdown was the perfect time to try them out. Then there were recipes that were born out of sheer necessity. Well, a few weeks ago I posted the video for pineapple sheera if you have been following my journey. I had used up half the can of pineapples for that recipe and had the other half was languishing in the fridge. I decided to use it up in another batch of sheera initially but nobody wanted to eat any during the same week so I had to think of a better way to repurpose it and pineapple cake it was! I decided tweak a couple of my existing cake recipes – I always draw…
