Its been a while since I learnt about this cake and was so much facinated by the concept.. I also researched that this is the easiest and quickest dessert to make.. The only issue I had was I didnt have Ramekins to bake this in and neither did I have the paper cups to go in cup cake pan. Finally today I made up my mind to buy ramekins and make this. I am glad I did.. Totally worth it..


Ingredients
1 Cup Maida
1.25 Cup Semi Sweet Choco-chips
1 Cup Butter
5 Spoon Coco Powder
3 Eggs
3 Egg Yolks
2 Cup Sugar

Method

• Grease the ramekins liberally and keep aside.
• Preheat oven to 450F/230C
• Microwave butter and chocochips together for one minute.
• Stir well to get nicely blended choco-butter mixture. Keep aside
• Whisk eggs, egg yolks together till blended well within
• Add in sugar and whisk till creamy, fluffy and thick mixture forms.
• Add in the melted chocolate-butter mixture to it and whisk.
• Sieve in maida and coco-powder. Fold lightly till everything accomodates.
• Divide the mixture into 6 ramekins
• Put ramekins in a baking tray and bake in oven at 450F/230C for 13 minutes so that the sides are cooked.
• Immediately after taking out from oven flip the cakes into plate and serve.

Notes
Alternate method is to use the paper cups inside the cup cake pan - little extra in height so that you can pull it out and flip it in the plate.
To flip the cake into the plate put the ramekin on a plate. Flip another plate on top of it. Holding both the plates flip the ramekin into the just placed plate. This helps since ramekins would be really hot when you take out the cakes into the plates.

Hariyali Mango Paneer

मराठीमध्ये वाचण्यासाठी इथे क्लिक करा

Today we were to meet Kapil and Shrinkhla for dinner but by the time we reached home everybody was almost full. So we decided to eat something at home instead. Thats when my mind started working on what I should make. I had a mango (raw) from mayuri that i had got last week. I cut it and saw that it was too sour so thought of making salad from it and started making hariyali paneer side by side. But as time progressed on the spot i changed my mind and made hariyali mango paneer instead. Turned out very nice.


Ingredients
3 Cup Coriander Leaves
1/2 Cup Pudina Leaves
1 Raw Mango
1 Onion
2 Cup Paneer Pieces
1 Green Chili
1 Spoon Garlic Cloves
1/2 Spoon Garam Masala
1 Spoon Red Chili Powder
1 Spoon Coriander Powder
1/4 Spoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 Spoon Jeera Powder
Salt to taste
Oil

Method

• Add a cup of water to coriander leaves, pudina leaves and green chili and grind in mixie.
• In hot oil, fry paneer pieces to light brown edges and keep aside
• In same oil, add chopped onion pieces, garlic and fry till light brown
• Add in mango pieces and ground coriander-pudina-green chillies mixture and cook till the water evaporates and gravy thickens.
• Add in turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, jeera powder and coriander powder and stir.
• Add in fried paneer pieces and salt to taste and cook for couple of more minutes.

Notes
The mango that I used wasn't too raw not too ripe. So it worked perfectly giving the light sourness. If using raw sour mango make sure to reduce the quantity of mango pieces accordingly.
