My dad got fed up of eating cakes. Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, brownie, choco lava, coconut cake etc, you name it i have made it after i bought the electric whisker last month. He said that he wouldn’t eat any more cakes. But mom, is not yet satiated. As for me, i don’t care what i bake, i want to bake. So.. this is what that resulted.. It was quick to make. Got ready in under 10 minutes. with a little bit of personalisation i think this will be a very nice evening snack to have with with tea.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
3/4th cup whole wheat flour (you can use any flour except besan)
1/2 cup oil
1/2 milk
salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Spices- jeera powder, Dhania (coriander seed) powder, chilli powder, anyother masala – just pinch
chopped corriander leaves
chopped green chillis

Method:

Beat eggs till they double in volume. Then slowly drizzle in the oil while beating continuously. The consistency of the resultant mixture should be really thick.
Sieve together the flour, salt, baking powder and spices.
Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture.
Use the milk to adjust the consistency.
oil and dust a microwaveable dish and pour in the mixture.
microwave for 4 minutes.
Let it stand for 5 minutes.
Serve with tomato ketchup or green chutney.

This is actually a modification of Nita Mehta’s Vanilla Cake.

Take the latkan and cut away the string and remove all the beads and trinkets of the latkan and keep them safe in a bowl.
Cut the transparent string double the length of the latkan and fold in half.
Put a jump ring at the folded end of the string and tie a knot.
Now string all the beads and trinkets of the latkan in the same order as it came in the latkan.
Tie the end with 2-3 knots. Cut the string and use the candle to lightly burn & melt the string ends and use your fingers to stick them together. Be very careful not to burn yourself or the earring.
tie the transparent string in a knot at the end of the earring.
Affix the hook to the jump ring.
