Bread Cranberry Chocolate Ladoos

Hello friends,

Its been long I know; I had crazy days all these way which forced me to stay away from my food blog. But as usual we cannot stay away from our close things forever, so I am back.

The security settings of my new phone is another culprit, as whenever there was a little time I try to post something, my stubborn new phone has tons of excuses saying, "No I won't share my stuffs with another machine". Finally today I thought I have to put an end to this, by cheating my phone; and figured out it was so easy; reality was " I was dumb" :O

So what do you see here? some maroon colored sphere shaped beings rolled over granulated sugar, and looks so enticing; isn't it.
So this is another research outcome from my kitchen. To be fair with you, let me tell you one thing. When I started with the main ingredient of this, I was wondering too, what the hell I am up to :P

But the fruit of the effort as always turned out so sweet. And what to name it? As Indian all sphere shaped sweets are Ladoos, Ha I will call him Ladoo, prefixed with the constituent elements which helped to take it to the final product. Feels like a science Lab? Sorry :P That's how I am, sometimes complicated :D

Ingredients:

Bread ground in mixer - 2 cups
Cranberry preserve - 2 tbsp ( I used homemade, but you can try store brought as well)
Cocoa powder, unsweetened - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Desiccated Coconut - 1 tbsp


Filling 

Walnuts, chopped - as required (each ladoo would hold a quarter)
Pomegranate peeled - as required (each ladoo would hold up to 4)

Method: 

Heat a non stick pan and pour ghee. When ghee is hot add the bread crumbs. Roast bread crumbs for few mins (no need to brown it, just ghee has to be absorbed entirely). Now ad cranberry preserve and sugar. mix it well until well combined. Add cocoa powder and desiccated coconut as well and mix well.

Take it out to a parchment or plate and while hot itself, knead to a soft dough. Now take portions and flatten to place walnuts and pomegranate in middle and roll to make gooseberry sized balls out of it and roll in sugar. Keep in refrigeration until well set.

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...
