ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಲು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ.  Finger millet is one of the millets which I prefer to use in our daily diet in one form or the other, due to its health benefits. It can be included in preparing Indian foods like Dosa, idli, rotti, ragimudde, malt, etc.  Biscuits and cookies are typically made with maida or all-purpose flour, but I enjoy experimenting with healthier alternatives in my baking. A good combination of different flours gives the recipe a unique taste and texture.  Here is my version of healthy biscuits using Finger millet flour / Ragi hittu. These tasty biscuits are kids favourite too, a healthy treat to add to your kids lunchbox!  Preparation time: 35 minutes Refrigeration time: 30 minutes Difficulty level: Medium Serves: 20 - 22 biscuits of medium size  Ingredients:  Finger millet flour / Ragi hittu - 1/2 cup Wheat flour - 3/4 cup (see Tips)  Unsalted butter (at room temperature) - 100 gm  Powdered sugar / Icing sugar - 1/3 cup (s...

During our childhood days, Cake was a luxurious treat for us. Rarely we had a chance to eat the bakery products like cakes, so it felt like cakes were the most delicious food when compared with whatever Mum made at home with all the love! Gone are those days and now, many of us have ovens at home and its easy to prepare cakes or other bakery food whenever we feel like. I often prepare varieties of eggless cakes at home. When kids are at home, how much ever snacks I prepare, they all vanish so quickly! My daughter loves to eat cake for her evening snacks. Eggless Vanilla Cake and Eggless Chocolate Cake were here favourites before. And when we found this way of making Eggless Orange Cake, this cake has become her favourite now! I just tried to follow the technique of Hot Milk Cake while preparing my Eggless Orange Cake and the result was - Wow! My eggless loaf turned out to be the most delicious one with a soft, airy, moist texture. It tastes the same like Iyengar Bakery Plain ca...

Being born and brought up in a village environment, we rarely used to eat the bakery food. All we knew was only Bread those days! We didn't had an oven, so there was no chance to eat any baked food at home. When I started going to college, I came to know about more varieties of bakery food and got addicted to them. Veg Puffs are one of my favourite bakery food. Making the pastry sheets at home is bit tedious task. These days, puff pastry sheets are available in super markets, so making the Puffs at home is not that difficult. Here is my version of Veg Puffs! Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Difficulty level: Medium Yield: 6 Veg Puffs Ingredients: Eggplant - 1 (small sized) Potato - 1 (medium sized) Capsicum - 1 halve Beans - 4 to 5 Green peas - 1/2 cup (*see Tips) Onion - 1 large Salt - to taste Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp or to taste Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp or according to taste Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp Oil - 3 tbsp (plus...

ಕನ್ನಡ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ   Blueberries are one of among the Baker's favorite fruits. As the name indicates, these pretty fruits are blue in color and have a sweet and a bit sour taste. I had eaten fresh blueberries quite a few times, but never used them in baking. Last month, we bought the frozen ones to prepare smoothie and I thought of preparing Blueberry Muffins for the kiddo with the leftover fruits.  Whenever I plan to bake something, I need to think of the egg substitute first, since we wont eat eggs. This time, I decided to use milk to prepare my muffins. Experiment went on well and the muffins tasted good. But I felt like some more improvement is needed. Next time, I replaced milk with curd in the same recipe and yippee..muffins came out perfect! I have tried this recipe several times and yes! now its the time to share the recipe with you all!! Here is the recipe of Egg less Blueberry Muffins.. Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 23 - 25 minutes Yield: ...

ಕನ್ನಡ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ If there are kids at home, demand for snacks will obviously be more. This holds good for our house as well and not only the kiddo, we are also snacks lovers! More than deep fried items, we like the baked goodies. This biscuit recipe caught my eyes sometime back while reading a local magazine. I just gave it a try and the biscuits tasted delicious! Original name of this biscuit is 'ANZAC Biscuit'. As I read in Wiki , the name of these biscuits is associated with Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). During the time of 1st World War, wives of the soldiers were preparing biscuits using flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, sugar, etc. They were sending those biscuits to the soldiers which had a good shelf life. There are several ways to prepare these ANZAC biscuits. This recipe was published in a local magazine during the time of ANZAC Day. Original recipe called for Golden Syrup. I have replaced it Honey and it worked out well! Recipe courtesy: Col...

ಕನ್ನಡ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ   Banana is one of those healthy fruits which is commonly available everywhere. This nutritious fruit can be eaten as it is and also can be used in preparing ice-creams, cakes and delicious desserts. It works as egg re-placer for some cakes and hence, is good for egg-less baking. When I find over ripened bananas in my pantry, either I will prepare Banana Rotti or go for baking something. Over ripened bananas are perfect for preparing cakes and muffins. I had posted Banana Cupcake / Muffins recipe some time back. Here is the recipe of perfect Banana Bread..hope you like it!

We were busy with shopping and roaming around here and there. Holidays got over like that and now, I am back to my routine! First recipe for this year is dedicated to all the chocolate lovers! I have adopted this recipe from a fellow blogger's site. Few years back when I started my baking journey, I used to keep browsing for varieties of cake recipes.
