Banana Cake

It's been a while since I made something yummy. So I have decided to start with a simple cake. Hold on, Cake means generally we must have lot of ingredients and even the procedure will be long. Don't worry, here is a banana cake recipe that actually needs just a few ingredients unlike other cakes.

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp baking powder
2 number Bananas
50 grams butter salted
2 cup Maida
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1  cup sugar
few drops vanilla essence
Salt as required

Steps:

Take a bowl mash bananas, make a dough kinda paste, add few drops of vanilla essence.
Take an other bowl put maida, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and blend all of them together.
Next Melt butter, add little salt, put all of them in a single bowl and mix pretty well to avoid lumps if any.
Preheat your oven to 325F, get a cake tray, brush it with some butter, sprinkle maida into it. Rub off the extra maida and spread the dough mould in the tray and bake for 45 mins.

Once the baking is done, leave it for 15 mins and Chop the cake into pieces and you are ready to go!



P.S: This is my first attempt and don't go wrong with the pics. I shud hv added more sugar, the taste is different and I don't have good camera to take pro pics!hmm and yeah...i read a similar recipe somewhere and added ingredients as per my taste.

Palak and Onion Paratha

Parathas are the most yummiest Indian flat breads. They are easy, healthy and delicious to eat either for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Most of the people prefer to make stuffed parathas. But I am a lazy goose. I really don't know to make roti dough and it's difficult for me to flatten them either. Or frankly I don't have patience to make dough and stuffing separately. So here is my version of making parathas.

Ingredients:
1 cup Spinach leaves (chop them finely)
1.5 cup Wheat flour
1 Big Onion (Chop them finely)
4-5 Green chillies (Chop them finely)
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp salt
1-2 tsp of Oil
1/2 Cup water
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

Take a bowl, add wheat flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, mix them well.
Add chopped onions, chillies, ginger garlic paste and spinach leaves and continue mixing them by adding water. In the last, add little oil and lemon juice and mix it. Leave the dough for 15-20 mins and Start making the parathas. I have spread some ghee on the parathas and used Curd while serving.
