Banoffee French toast!!!

Where your mind runs when you hear banoffee? Okay if you couldn’t figure it out let me help you here; it is bananas and toffee ☺️

What another combination will compete with this right. So last week I had my friend visiting my Bangalore house and since I was jet lagged from my 1 month world roaming I was trying to find a recipe so easy; but at the same time to make her feel special.

Yes she is my special love so she deserves something some pampering from me. I think I stole her heart by this simple perfect English breakfast, I would rather say French breakfast and the idea of adding “Banoffee “ touch made it an elite one.

And the final touch was made with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, of course my love for chocolate is famous by now. One thing to quote about French toasts and all these international breakfasts; growing up my mom used to make most of them for us and I guess that made us inclined to them and they helped me as a roamer now enjoying the breakfasts from different parts of the world. I was the one among those lucky ones who was not nagging anyone about having problems to adjust with different cuisines, rather I enjoyed everything to the core. Thank you Amma :-* for your brought up :)

Okay then over to recipe now.

Ingredients (for one serving):

Bread, cut into half vertical sticks - 4 (I used multigrain bread)

Egg - 1

Milk - 2 tbsp

Sugar - 2 tbsp

Cinnamon powder- 1/4 tsp

Salt a pinch

Butter for toasting

Topping :

Butter - 1 tsp

Sugar or jaggery - 3 tbsp

Milk - 1/4 cup

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Banana - 1 sliced into rounds

Chocolate syrup to drizzle on top

Method:

Mix egg , milk, cinnamon powder, sugar and salt together until well combined.

Heat a pan and grease with butter. Reduce heat and dip bread sticks in egg mix and cook each side until browned.

In parallel prepare the caramel. Put sugar in pan with 1 tsp water, butter and cook without stirring until light brown. Start stirring until its golden. Now remove from heat and add milk and mix thoroughly until caramel dissolves in milk. Cook again in low flame until thickened, add salt and bananas. Cook for 1 to 2 mins and then it is ready to use.

Arrange French toasts in layers and top with the prepared Banoffee. Now drizzle chocolate syrup.

Notes:
In caramel fresh cream can be used to replace milk.

Home made chocolate syrup is available in my other recipes, if you want to try everything from scratch.

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...

Ayala Pollichathu - Mackerel roast in plantain leaves

This is yet another traditional Kerala recipe, in which fish is roasted in plantain leaves. There is a two step process in cooking fish, first by shallow frying and then roasted inside a plantain leaf covered with masalas. So my experience with pollichathu was with Karimeen alone until this time, my favorite fish, which is called Pearl spot in English. All these while I haven't tried any other fish for this recipe. So let me tell you the story of how Ayala came into picture :D This happened on one fine day, my mom in law was telling me that the women who brings fish has brought lots of Mackerel and many other fishes and convinced her to buy a lot of them. So she was in a confusion on what will we do with all these, as weekend was almost going to finish and everyone of us moving to different places. And the same curry or fry would be boring and won't be appreciated by the men's league at home :D Then I went for helping her with the fish dilemma, she was having and...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home. My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...
