Peanut Tomato Chutney | Easy Chutney Recipes

I am always on the lookout for interesting chutney recipes which will taste good with idli or dosa, uthapam or even vada. My friend Rohini Mahesh, shared this recipe of peanut tomato chutney and since I already make a plain peanut chutney, I knew this would taste awesome too! So I tried this out as soon as she shared it and we had it for oats idli and true to what she said, this chutney tasted absolutely yum! 

One of the reasons why I love this chutney is because, I already love peanuts and this doesn't use coconut and it's very easy to make. Also this chutney does not get spoilt like the coconut chutney so you can use this chutney to pack for lunch boxes too.

Check out the other side dishes for idli and dosa here

Surprise Inside Heart Cake | Hidden Heart Cake

I wanted to make this cake for Valentine's cake this year but ended up making these cute edible chocolate cups with strawberry mousse instead! Then I wanted to make this cake for our wedding anniversary but again ended up making this rich and moist quadruple chocolate cake instead!
So finally I made this cake when there was no occasion to celebrate but then again, you don't need a special occasion to celebrate love!!  

The best part about this cake is that, no one can tell there is something hidden inside the cake! The surprise on my husband's face when I made him cut the cake, was very satisfying for me! 
The only thing I did not like about this cake, was that, there is too much of wastage! Almost half of the cake baked for the heart shape goes waste. You can choose to make cake pops or truffles.

And if you're not big on using colour's then skip the red color and keep the hearts white. The white hearts will still stand out against the dark brown chocolate cake. Or you can use a little less red color and make it a pink heart. 

One of the concerns in baking this cake is that, since the heart cake is baked twice, it can get a bit dry. But this is a good pound cake recipe and if you don't over bake, then it will not go dry. I adapted this recipe from my chocolate chip pound cake recipe.

The chocolate batter should preferably be a pound cake batter, only then the hearts placed inside will not move and will stand in place. Otherwise, by the time the cake is done, the hearts will be in some corner of the pan.

This recipe is for a 9*5*3 inch loaf pan. If you use a smaller pan, then your batter will overflow.

Homemade Icing Sugar | How to make Icing Sugar at Home

Have you ever had a day when you start baking and your suddenly find that you don't have an ingredient? Well, it happened to me when I was making my chocolate buttercream recipe! I realized that I had no icing sugar at home. I would have gone to the store but it was the middle of the night (I normally bake after my kids go to bed) and I could not go out anywhere! So, I decided to make some icing sugar myself. 
I felt there will be someone somewhere who finds themselves in the same predicament as me so decided to make this into a post!

Icing sugar is just very very fine sugar with a binding agent which helps the powdered sugar from clumping up and when we use the sugar for icing or glazes, it helps to thicken the sugar and stick together to achieve a smooth consistency.

Brown Rice Curd Rice

I never thought of making this into a post but then I wanted to share that this lovely curd rice can be made more healthy by making it with brown rice instead of white rice. We have started including brown rice in our diet and I tried out this simple and easy curd rice. It came out very well and the taste was just as good! I make millet curd rice too and I like both kinds of curd rice. As usual goes well with just a simple pickle.
