Coconut Burfi / Kerala Coconut Sweets
Coconut sweets / burfi are a traditional Kerala sweet often
made in many homes during the festive season. This was one of mine and hubby’s
childhood favorites. Mom used to make it in two layers, one layer in white and
another one is pink or green. For this recipe you should use freshly grated
coconut and use only the white part of the coconut. Also you should be
extremely careful of the sugar consistency.... This is an easy to make sweet
dish. You can make it not only for festivals but also as an item for a tea
party or can be packed as a nice return gift too....
Wishing You All a Very Happy,
Prosperous and Safe Diwali!!!

Caramel Cupcakes (Dulce de Leche Cupcakes) with Buttercream Frosting
It’s been a long time my blog was on a sleep mode..... Took a
small break and it got extended for more time than I indented.... It’s hard to
come back to regular blogging after taking a break and I will try to post
regularly from now on :).... These cupcakes have been in my draft for more than a year now. I made it for
our Church’s harvest festival and somehow couldn't post it. The cupcake recipe was already posted some time back with a frosting of Swiss Meringue ButterCream, But this time I decorated it with American Butter Cream Frosting..... You
can use homemade dulce de leche or store bought in the recipe....

Kerala Style Beetroot Pachadi / Beetroot in Yogurt and Coconut Gravy
Wishing you all a Very Happy and Prosperous Onam
:) :)
It is Onam today and I was hoping to post some Onam sadhya recipes at least this time around! But as usual just after summer vacation I was trying hard to settle down here.... School re-opened for my son and they are getting ready for their first semester exams by next week.... So in between all this, I didn’t even get time to update the blog which was idle for the last 2 months.... I tried my best to reply to the comments and queries, but if I have missed any please let me know.... Today I thought of sharing the recipe of Beetroot Pachadi the way I make it. I don’t know if it is the traditional way.... Some people don’t add coconut, but somehow I like pachadi this way.... Here is a list of a very few Onam special recipes I have posted earlier, if in case you are searching for any :)....

Uppumanga Chalichathu / Salted Mango with Shallots, Chillies and oil
A tongue tickling chutney made with Uppumanga
(Salted Mangoes in Brine). It is great when you do not have much side dishes
for rice or kanji and also a great substitute for pickle too.... This dish gives
a distant taste when sour and salty mangoes mixed with shallots, green chillies
and oil..... Heavenly dish for Keralites with kanji....

Fondant Baby Shower Cake -1
Like I
mentioned in an earlier post, I did 2 PME courses from London recently in Royal
Icing and the Sugarpaste module. I have to do one more course to get my masters
and I hope to be able to do that some time :)…. Now a days I am seriously
thinking of taking cake orders after the summer vacation :)… Here is the
picture of the first cake I did after my course for a sweet expecting mom. I
will be adding more pictures of my cakes soon…

Mango Tart with Ginger Biscuit Crust
Made this mango tart with the last mangoes of the
season. Instead of the regular Marie biscuit base I used Ginger biscuits this
time and it was a really good decision! We really liked the combination. If you
don’t like ginger biscuits use any other tea biscuits for the base. To maintain
the freshness of the mangoes you can bake the base and the filling a day ahead
and add mango pieces and whipped cream decoration just before serving.
