Double Ka Meetha, Shahi Tukra, Indian Bread Pudding

          Double Ka Meetha, a very famous Hyderbadi sweet and similar to Shahi Tukra, I had tasted this only once, long time back. The ingredients and preparation for Double Ka Meetha and Shahi Tukra, are similar, only the final presentation is slightly different. It's basically bread slices fried in ghee, topped with sugar syrup, rabri, nuts and dried fruits, a very rich and delicious dessert. For Shahi Tukra, the fried bread slices are served as such, but for Double Ka Meetha, they are slightly crushed. This is such a fatty and rich dessert but absolutely delicious, so have a small serving and do some extra workout, it's worth all of it..

Mushroom, Pepper And Cabbage Stir Fry

            The other day, I was making rotis and chana masala for dinner and I had to do some kind of vegetable dish to go with it. Of course, most of the time, we are fine with some sliced cucumbers on the side, but that day I didn't have cucumber but I had a packet of mushrooms. I wanted to keep the vegetable curry very light, didn't want any strong masalas in it, so I made this simple stir fry with it. I added some spring onions, red pepper and cabbage along with the mushrooms and some fresh ginger for flavor. It's a very simple and healthy dish, went perfectly with the rotis and chana masala..

Eggless Cinnamon Swirl Brioche

          This month, for our Eggless Baking Challenge, we had to make Cinnamon Swirl Brioche, suggested by Gayathri. It's a French pastry, very rich from the number of eggs and amount of butter used in making it. This time, I have used orange juice in the place of eggs, I have used orange juice in my cakes, it makes them very airy and light, so I thought that it should work in the brioche too.. I have used only very little of it in the brioche, but still it came out very good. The entire house was filled with the cinnamon flavor and the bread turned out to be absolutely delicious and everybody at home loved it..
