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.

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. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds. I dont think anyone can go wrong with this recipe.  So diving into the recipe, without more story telling.  Ingredients: All purpose flour/Whole wheat flour - 1 cup Oats flakes - rolled oats - 1/4 cup Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup Butter-1/4 cup Sugar brown - 1/2 cup packed Salt -1/4 tsp Baking powder- 1 tsp Egg - 1  Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Milk - 1 to 2 tbsp or to make a cookie dough  Method: Whisk together dry ingredients and keep aside  Whip butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla essence and mix.

Inji curry - Ginger curry pickle

Inji curry is one among the dish in any Kerala Sadya spread and it is called with a name " nooru kootan" in malayalam to give the impression of impact of this dish. It means equivalent to 100 curries. You can see this man in every sadya holding the first place in the plantain leaf and is served first in the leaf based on some belief I guess. I m a big fan of Kerala sadya, of course a foodie like me loves every food and how can I miss our own Sadya, which is supposed to be the biggest spread in terms of number of side dishes and rounds it carries. A few things to make you understand about the rounds of sadya; I m from the south part of Kerala, Trivandrum which is the most famous place for veggie sadya in plantain leaf. The Sadya here consists of at least 20 side dishes in on side of leaf with Pappad, chips, fried chilly, and one side is reserved for the rounds of rice. First round of rice starts with moong dal curry and ghee. Yet another specialty of Trivandrum is this ...

Introducing me, as a food blogger!

Hello ... I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself as a food blogger. I am not new to this place; most of my friends know me as a random blogger and I am pretty much active here. This time, I am starting on a blog focussed on food. I am a passionate cook who loves to experiment a lot in food, and I appreciate and embrace almost all cuisines world wide. I am already representing a food site with my tested recipes in Facebook, but because there is no option to search for my recipes, I am sharing it here. I want all my readers to have easy access and my recipes handy 😊 As you can see, I am passionate about many things other than cooking, but cooking is something which always gives me pleasure. Cooking is my stress reliever, as one of my friend used to advice me, "Go bake a cake, you will be Alright"! I am not yet sure to call myself as a food blogger, as I think there are ton of things yet to be learned and experienced as a cook and each day is a new learning...
