Cherry Pie

Pie making is really a satisfying job, because of its easiness and final outcome so yummy and eye candy. I was always planning to make a fruity pie, my first one was a chocolate tart pie with peanut butter stuffed. So this one being a fruity pie, I wanted the real fresh fruits, but had to adjust with  canned real cherries, which was available in market. Season time I am planning to prepare with real ones again.


The result was really tempting and lovely that I am willing to bake pies even all around the year. My mobile cam and DSLR had a heavy duty that day, as I was not able to stop taking photos of this beauty. You can see that from this post itself :P  I posted the pic of this beauty with a caption, cherry pie my cutie pie. Seriously I fell in love at the her first sight itself :P


Ingredients:

Pie crust
All-purpose flour
Baking powder - 1 pinch
Butter
Salt
Egg
Water chilled to make dough

Stuffing  
Cherry pitted
Sugar
Corn flour

Topping
Egg wash
Granulated sugar

Method:
Mix dry ingredients and with hands rub in butter. Butter should be cut into cubes and chilled. Rub into the flour until it resembles bread crumb texture. Now add one egg and mix. Add chilled water 1 tbsp at a time, you can put ice cubes in water to keep it chill. Knead roughly into a tough dough. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 mins.
Meanwhile prepare the filling. Take pitted cherries and ads granulated sugar. Wipe of any extra moisture before adding sugar. Now add cornflour and mix. Keep it aside.
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and roll into 1/2 inch thick discs. In a pie tray line one rolled disc and press the edges for getting the pie shape. Bake this in preheated oven at 180 C for 15 to 20 mins or until crust turns a light brown shade. For baking use a weight on top of crust so that it won't bump. Take it out and cool a bit. Top with cherry layer. 

Then cover with other disc and shape it. Score the top layer so that heat pressure built up can escape. Now do egg wash and sprinkle granulated sugar. Bake in preheated oven for another 20 to 25 mins until the crust is crispy and golden brown.

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made.  It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done.

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...
