Chocolate Crepes with Apricot Jam

Crepes the French breakfast and dessert too. From my old posts you would have come to know how much I love French cuisine and breakfasts, and English breakfast I will die for. Crepes were always made by me as a tower of crepes to end up to a perfectly decorated cake.
This time I made as crepe layers for breakfast unlike the usual ways. My chocolate lovers would eat if there is chocolate in it. I distributed this across my neighbors and they were awed with what they experienced. A moment of ultimate pleasure for me :P

Crepe making is not that easy, you have to be cautious in each and every step. The consistency of batter definitely matters and the resting time of 10 to 20 mins to relax the flour. And of course unlike cakes where you can lay back on chair waiting for outcome after half an hour, Na this guy is not going to be that easy with you :D

Each crepe is made like dosa, Amma's training for making dosa really helped here. Thank you Amma :*
So the thin crepes should be handled with care, just like handling my husband... Again that experience helped! Lol. You have to have ultimate patience turning the sides otherwise the crepes can tear. So you heard it right, "Patience" is the key word. No big logic required.

This time as I said I made individual crepes as it's easy to be used as breakfast and easy to share. I had my jar of home made apricot jam which was really the showstopper here. Without that it's just chocolate crepes with chocolate sauce drizzled. But with my tangy apricot jam sandwiched inside the crepes, Aww I was feeling myself a sense of pride finding such a combination. 

All these while I was making crepes with eggs ,the main ingredient, but sooner I will try egg less version and let you guys know the outcome. Over to recipe now.

Ingredients:

 Crepes
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Chocolate powder - 1/4 cup
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Eggs - 3
Milk - 1  1/2 cup
Butter - 1/2 cup
Vanilla essence - 2 tsp
Sugar - 3/4 cup

Filling
Apricot jam
Chocolate syrup

Method:
In a food processor, mix all ingredients for crepe and put into a bowl. Allow it to rest for 15 to 20 Mins.

Heat a non stick pan and smear it with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter and swirl till the batter spreads evenly. Cover and cook for 30 secs. Open and flip to other side. Cook other side for 20 secs.  Remove and place in parchment paper. Make sure you don't pile the crepes until it's cold. You can place parchment paper in between and pile.


Take each crepe and apply a generous amount of apricot jam (I will add this recipe too) fold it and drizzle chocolate syrup, again home made. Indulge into the heaven guys !

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

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
