Simple yet delicious


This is a very simple yet super delicious dessert. I saw the recipe here and immediately found a calling, I made it the same day. I thought I would submit to No croutons required edition of Berry soups but somehow did not manage to post it!

Ingredients
1/4 cup tapioca (sabu dana)
1 cup water
4 tbsp sugar (2 tbsp add along with tapioca and reserve 2 tbsp to be added with the milk)
2 cups diced fruit (I used berries and mangoes)
2 cups coconut milk
1 tsp rose water

Garnish- mandarin orange sections (but for the photo, I forgot to add them!)
Method:
  1. Boil the tapioca stirring constantly until the pearls are translucent (this takes a while and make sure it is translucent!).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in sugar.
  3. Bring back to the boil.
  4. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Let the tapioca cool.
  6. I also just warmed the coconut milk, added the sugar in to ensure that the sugar dissolved
  7. Prepare your fruit- slice strawberries but leave other berries whole, dice other fruits.
  8. Stir sugar into the milk of your choice and make sure it is dissolved. Add the rose extract.
  9. Refrigerate the dessert bowls.
  10. Put several tablespoons of tapioca pearls in each bowl.
  11. Divide the fruit into each bowl.
  12. Pour the sweetened milk over the fruit/tapioca and chill the desserts until ready to serve.
  13. Garnish your dessert.
Judgement

The dessert was simply delicious. Two of us finished four dessert bowls in one night!!!

Puff pastry- a challenge indeed!

This challenge brought back a flood of memories, memories of McRennet or any bakery that would serve tasty vegetable puffs. I loved those and since my mom knew this she would always come home with a handful of these for an evening snack whenever she could. The bliss of biting into a warm puff pastry filled with spicy vegetable mixture is something inexplicable, you should taste it yourself to know the feeling! So when this month we were asked to tackle puff pastry as a part of the Daring Baker's Challenge, I unwittingly thought- how cool is that, I could make  my own puffs! Little did I realize that my first attempt at this challenege would result in a horrific half-baked dough in a pool of molten butter, yikes!!! "How am I ever going to have a go at it again?" I muttered to myself and for the next 30min or so could not shake myself out of this horror story. But thankfully with some talking from the WISE GUY and my own sobriety being brought back by a big bowl of icecre

Paruppu thuvaiyal- MLLA 35 entry

My mom is visiting and one of the things I ask her to make every time she visits is some form of paruppu thuvaiyal (a kind of pesto that you eat with rice, similar to chutney except a lot more thicker) This recipe uses yellow moong dal- skinned and split mung beans that are easy to digest. Ingredients 1 cup yellow moong dal 1 clove garlic 2 dried red chillies * a pinch of asaefotida (hing) 2 tbsp oil salt to taste water, minimal quantity for grinding Method Heat oil in a pan. Add the garlic, red chillies, asaefoetida- saute for about 30 seconds. Then add the yellow moong dal and roast till the dal is golden brown. Cool it down and grind with minimal amount of water. Serve with hot rice, ghee (clarified butter) and some fried papad! Judgement With the garlic and the heat from red chillies, it sort of warmed me up- exactly what I needed after kind of weather we have been put through here in the area. (I guess I cannot complain about it being cold when people dow

Monthly mingle with fruit!

I have become a daring cook and baker ever since I started blogging- I try and incorporate different vegetables that are especially. The hardest for me was using the fall bounty-I hardly knew some of their names. But hey I am still the learner! Our last trip to the grocery store, we bought exactly one of these pretty looking fruits (this I knew the name of)- persimmon (the wise guy did not even know what it was when he picked it up!). I had it in the refrigerator for a week or so, manically googling recipes using persimmon when I hit upon this beautiful cupcake recipe from one of my favorite blogs- Cupcake Project .  The search stopped there! Recipe source here , minimally adapted Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp baking soda ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cups sugar 2 large eggs ¾ cup persimmon pulp (the insides of 1 over-ripe persimmon) ½ cup orange juice, freshly squeezed orange zest (from about
