It has been a very busy month with festive season and celebrations all around me. I tried out lots of recipes and this particular recipe from khana khazana , turned out the best. It is very simple and easy to make , though I would not put it as the best tasting one it is quite tasty with some chocolate syrup on it. The ingredients are easy to find and very few too.
Eggless Choco soft cake:
Here is the recipe without much of a prologue.
Ingredients :
Parle-G biscuits : 4 packs
Sugar (powdered) 15 tsp
Cocoa Powder - 6 tsp
Eno (fruit salt)- 1 tsp
baking soda 1/2 tsp
Lukewarm milk - 3 cups
oil /butter for greasing
Chocolate syrup for the topping
Method:
Make a fine powder of the Parle-G biscuits, Sugar and Cocoa powder without lumps. Then add Eno (fruit salt ) and baking soda. Add the lukewarm milk little by little and mix it only towards one side.
Grease the microwavable tray with butter or oil.pour the mixture into it and microwave for 5 minutes at high.
It will be done by then. check with a knife or a skewer. Let it cool for a few minutes and add the chocolate syrup on the top.
I am having problems with uploading the pictures today. I will load them some other time.
Ciao.

Methi Theplas - Roti (flatbread) with Fenugreek Leaves
Gujarati Thali is the one I have been searching for in Mysore in a long time. Even though there was a mention here and there the only time I had it was one Navratri Dandiya time few years ago. I searched for Theplas ( after girls saw three idiots , they do know names of a few Gujarati dishes now I guess I will have to make them!!!) I came across Roma Sharma's Blog. This theplas turned out very tasty. The measurements were so great that doubling up too yields perfect results. Thanks Roma.
Theplas are basically spiced parathas. They are excellent for travelling as they are not spoilt for more than a week.This variety is great either as a meal, with tea or just a snack in the kids lunch box.
Here's the recipe friends
Ingredients :
1 cup Wheat flour /Atta
1 tablespoon Besan /kadalehittu/gram flour
1 tablespoon Oil
Pinch of Haldi powder /turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Mirchi powder /red chilli powder
1 teaspoon Dhania powder /coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon Jeera powder /roasted cumin powder
5 pods of Garlic, finely chopped
1 cup of Methi (Fenugreek ) leaves, fine chopped
1/4 cup Curds /Sour Yogurt
1/2 teaspoon Jeera/Cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon Til/Sesame seeds
Pinch of Hing (Asafoetida)
Salt (to taste)
Sugar (to taste) (optional)
Oil to roast.
Method
Mix all the above ingredients with just about half a cup of water to a dough. Knead it till it is soft. Allow it for about 5 to 10 minutes . With a little dry flour roll out rotis.. small circular ones. Cook on both sides with a little oil on a hot flat pan or tawa...
Enjoy hot thelpas with set curds .They are great with masala tea too.

Scottish Shortbread
Yesterday tried some Scottish Shortbread. Thanks to Malini for the recipe, indeed it is easy and kids can make it too. It took exactly 10 minutes for the preparation and about 20 minutes baking time. Girls absolutely loved it and I am sure it is going to be a regular snack at my place now on..
Here is the recipe for those who want to try. I have changed it to cups to make the measurement easier. I made them the first time, may be next time there will be some improvement in shape and will have the courage to add chocolate or poppy seeds etc.I will add photos and changes as and when I make them again.

roll it with the pin for 2" thickness and spread around cut it with shaped biscuit cutters
I made shapes like fingers, but you can just spread them on to a greased tray with two cms thickness.
place the greased tray in the oven for 25 minutes.
If you have spread the dough as whole cut into squares when warm and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
The short breads are ready to have with a hot cup of tea.
