Muffins are always loved by everyone and I love it as it serves as a pick-n-go snack. At our home, we all have different likings to the kind of muffin that we love to have. I am a big fan of home-made muffins and so I would say I love all of them - all the flavours... my hubby loves the non-chocolatey ones, my elder one loves and prefers the chocolatey ones and my younger loves only plain vanilla or white-chocolate ones. When we have these many differences in taste preference there is no choice other than making all the flavours once in a while. These days I have loved making muffins with fresh berries. This is one among that. It turned out great and I am sure this recipe is keepsies
The lovely part is that it is very very simple to pull the recipe together. They are soft and moist on the inside and crumbly on the top. Loved it so much. It smelled so good when baking these mini cuties. They were so tempting that we could not wait for long before we started digging in. I tried it warm and they tasted perfect. Just the way I wanted it. Everyone loved it except for my little who did not want any berries inside a muffin ;) .... no worries I will be making him another batch tomorrow with no added stuff in the muffin :)
I am not sure where I got the recipe... of course on the internet though. I just had a screenshot of the recipe page on my phone without the website details... sorry about that. But whosever recipe it is... it is definitely a perfect hit
My mom first started making cakes in a pressure cooker. She used to make it often and we would be excited and jumping around to get the first bite of the freshly baked warm cake. During childhood, most of the days used to feel like an occasion as some neighbour or other friend will always be there in the afternoons chit-chatting and making or doing something. We used to have a good time and the days used to be so lively. Neighbours used to come home often, sit and chat for long times, friends used to stop by to play and we used to have all sorts of fun. This cakes brings back a lot of memories :)
I started making cake in oven so did not try to make in pressure cooker any time. I have a few friends who have been asking for the procedure to make cake in cooker. Every time my friends ask me I would call my mom, get the recipe and then again call my friends back to explain everything. I have done this so many times now that I understand it is high time I jot it down and make a post so that the recipe stays in the tip of my hands always
The use of cooker makes the cake taste a little different around the edges if you let it brown a little. I love the browned edges and really love biting into it. They taste really wonderful. I tried making it at home and enjoyed every bit of whatever I got :) The kids loved this version too
I have been enjoying making my own bread and buns and pav for quite a while now. Whenever I make some over the weekend and I have a chance to visit my mom, I bake some bread for her too. She loves the homemade version so whenever she plans to make pav bhaji she asks me to make some pav for her. Sometime back when she wa about to come to our home she just called up and asked if I could make some pav for her for the next day so that she could use it for breakfast. I had very little time... say just about an hour and a half which was not enough to make the buns. I told her that it would take time and it will not be possible. But my mind was not happy to deny her request so quickly browsed my pinterest saves to check out the 1-hour dinner that I have always eyed on
Got this recipe that I had saved on pinterest long back and finally got a chance to try it. It was pretty quick to make and turned out very soft and feathery. My mom liked it so much that day. She was happy that I made it for her even after I said I wont be able to
Try this 1-hour pavs and I am sure you will hook on to this recipe. Enjoy feathery soft pav buns made right at home
What do you do when there is some leftover pizza dough.... We usually end up making some soup-breadsticks or thin crisps or small buns. Once we tried this beautiful roses. Saw this pin on pinterest about various ways to fancy the regular dough to make it look more interesting. There were so many options to look for but only a few stayed in my mind. This is one among them
When we had very little dough left, we just split it into four and made a very small treat for all of us.... just one small bite-size for each of us. Instead of folding it with extra dough in the middle we decided to use some chocolate and cherries that we had in hand. It turned out to be a fun snack for the kids. They loved the way it looked and tasted too
I have used little of pizza dough made using 50% whole wheat flour and 50% all-purpose flour. You can use the same ratio or 100% whole wheat flour or 100% all-purpose flour. The dough will have a little bit of salt but that contrasts really well with the chocolate inside. We loved it that way
MUG PIZZAAAAA/ Bowl pizza as I made it.... Have you tried this???? If not then do give it a try and am sure you will fall in love with it? Pizza made in 5 minutes .... I know it sounds unbelievable but if you want to treat yourself individually some day without taking much pains of making and cleaning as well then this one is just for you. I first thought to try mug cakes and other mug stuff after I saw a few videos by Gemma from Bigggerbolderbaking. I love the way she talks and makes stuff and the way she makes us feel that cooking is probably the easiest job in the world if you are really creative. She has so mannnnnnnnnyyyyyyy recipes for mug foods that you will be shocked if some of them can really be made in a mug. Yes I have gone through many of her recipes ...... if not for the recipe then atleast to check out the great ideas that she has
I was looking for some video related to embroidery work when I chanced upon this video under the suggested options. It was almost noon time and I hadnt made anything for lunch till then. The video snapshot of this individual serving meal looked inviting and I decided to spend a couple of minutes watching it.... but guess what.... I ended up watching and also making the mug pizza as well. It sounded so easy and delicious that I could not resist myself in making some immediately. All the ingredients were available in the kitchen pantry and so just 5 minutes and I had this hot and yummy mug pizza/ bowl pizza right in front of me. Every bit of it was so delicious that I finished it in no time. Worth a try and yumminess guaranteed
This is a recipe that I tried from the back of a box of choco chips. We bought choco chips to make some cookies but when my kids started helping me in the kitchen they found a recipe on the back side of the choco-chips box that said muffins. Immediately they changed their plan from cookies to muffins. It was difficult to convince them from not making so I thought why not give it a try. Good that we tried because it turned out perfect and exactly the way my kids like
The recipe was actually for chocolaty choco-chip muffins but we made vanilla choco-chip muffins and the reason was very simple......... we ran out of cocoa powder :) The kids loved it so much that they packed some for their friends at school too. Its nice to see that they want to share and enjoy
We made these muffins long back but could not post the recipe. Time to make it again I think :)
I have always had this regular crust pizza which is nice and thick and spongy and crispy to bite into. For long I have been making only this kind of crust until a few months back when we had an Italian-style pizza topped with indian-style spicy tandoori chicken and a lot more toppings. We had this at a pizzeria when went out for a small outing. After a day out under the hot sun we were all tired and on the way back home we decided to stop by a restaurant to finish off dinner too. Lucky that day we ended up at this pizzeria where the kids could have a little fun. There was an option for kids to get into the pizzerias kitchen and make their own pizza. The kids were so excited when they were asked to wear a cute pizza-slice-like-apron and pizza-like-cap before they could go into the kitchen
The chef was very friendly and helped the kids get comfortable with the surroundings. He helped the kids in doing every bit involved in pizza-making. Right from rolling the dough to spreading the sauce, placing the topping, sprinkling the cheese and finally placing the oven for baking. Every part of it was fun. The kids were smiling and giggling and talking and laughing and making and enjoying a lot. It was a different experience for them and they loved it sooo much. After they were done making the pizza they cleaned themselves up and they were asked to take their seats to enjoy their dinner. It was just a 5 minute wait time but they could not stand the excitement. They were very busy explaining things to me and my hubby (though we were around all the time). By the time the kids could finish explaining, dinner was served. It looked as any normal pizza but yes the bite had a great difference. The thin crust was sure a little different. It was a little crisp rather than the regular hand-tossed crusts and we liked it more. We became immediate fans of this thin-crust pizza that I dont remember how many time we have made this at home
My younger one always had a dislike for the corner crust from regular pizza and would never finish it off but toss it in the garbage bin. He would say there's too much of bread in it ;) Now he loves this one and is always after me asking me to make this. If not often we sure enjoy it once in a while. The best part is you dont feel too heavy after finishing off your pizza
You can use regular pizza dough using yeast or just work uo a small batch using some baking powder and still enjoy the same. We love this in our home and I would suggest you try this too if you are a pizza fan. You will definitely fall for it :)
Cheesy masala paneer buns are spicy, cheesy and yummy. I made these for school breakfast-time snack and the kids loved it. If you can make the dough the previous night and let it rise in the fridge then you can pull this recipe together in the morning in no time. Kids will love to take a different snack to school and in fact they will ask you for more to share with their friends too
We love making stuffed buns at home. I try to use different kinds of stuffing to keep the kids loving it more and more. These buns were made a long time back but could not post it. I started my bread and bun baking with all-purpose flour only but now i use 50% whole wheat and 50% all-purpose flour. I think there is a very decent balance of taste which takes care of the nutty flavour of wheat flour
Freshly made homemade paneer tossed in a rich gravy filled with spices and cooked till semi-dry makes the perfect stuffing. Kids will love this
Dominos Burger Pizza has been our favourite from the first time we ever tried this. All of us fell in love with this, especially the kids. Its the perfect way to enjoy both our favourites in one recipe ... burger and pizza. So we tried this at home some time backa and it was huge success. Every time I make it I have had unexpected guests and I never got a chance to click pictures at all. This time I made sure I will do all the prep work earlier than usual so that I can relax and click pictures too. It turns out so good that you will love it more once you make it at home. My kids always say that homemade burger pizzas are the bestest and cheesiest ones ever
The recipe is very easy if you already make pizza or buns. The basic need is just pizza dough and some stuffing. You can add whatever toppings/stuffings and as much ever as you want. We love paneer and peppers in ours so we use that most of the time. Well you can always make the bun ahead of time and then do the assembling just before serving. Its easy that way as you wont feel you are spending a lot of time in the kitchen :)
I have mixed pictures from 2-3 batches as I could never click any batch completely :)
I am not a big fan of dates but a very big fan of walnuts. So I thought of using them both in one cake and check if I liked it. This mug cake just took a couple of mins to get ready and I couldnt believe how good it turned out. It was awesome with the sweetness from the dates and a little crunch from all those walnut bits. The cake was soft and moist and I enjoy every spoon of it. Truly amazing
I love mug cakes and this one is one of my new favourites. Made it twice this week and I am sure I would love making it again. It is so quick to make that even a lazy bug like me would not say no to making it. I am sure this recipe is a keeper
All the ingredients used are day-to-day ingredients that you would find in your kitchen pantry so no waiting ... you can make it any time you feel like eating something sweet
I have posted recipes for different kinds of bread but missed out on the most basic recipe that I first followed to bake my first bread. I got it all wrong the first time I made it but then went through a lot of recipes and read about techniques and tips and tricks and finally made my very own decent loaf of bread. After some continuous trials overcame the problems and then could get really good loaves of bread
This recipe is very simple to follow. Just stick to the measurements and follow the tips and tricks. I have tried to share some of experiences here as to where I went wrong and then how I corrected it. There are few things to get right - say proofing yeast, waiting for first rise and second rise and finally baking it right
There are millions of recipes on the internet. I looked into so many of them and then finally after some trial and error ended up with this recipe that I loved. The loaf rose just as I wanted it to and the slices came out very soft. We loved every bite of the bread. I might try a lot more recipes but this one is my first and best recipe
Note: I have included pictures from 2 batches
