Banana and Egg Roast (പഴവും മുട്ടയും ഉലര്‍ത്തിയത് )

Aysha  has the habit of eating some snacks (self- made or ready made  for the evening tea. As I’m rich in cholesterol related statistics in my health chart, I seldom show interest to such fried and baked snacks.  But still, at times the yummy looks and piercing aroma used to tempt me to taste a bit from those.  Last week’s Saturday evening it was this ‘Banana and Egg Roast’ which took my eyes from the TV screen to her snack plate. I asked her to take a snap of the dish before she eats it up fully. Many of you might already know about this dish. Yet, I’m sharing this recipe here for those who haven’t tried it out yet on her behalf. It’ll be handy for mothers as an easy and nutritious evening snack for their kids, though not for grown-ups as it might be over-nutritious for them..!!

Ingredients:

Ripe bananas – 3 no.s
Egg -1
Sugar – 2 Tb spoon
Cardamom – 2 cloves
Ghee (RKG) – 1 Tb spoon
Cashew nuts and raisins – for garnishing.

How to:
1.       Peel off and cut bananas into small triangular pieces. Heat ghee in a non-stick pan and add this banana pieces to it. Sauté till the outer side turns light brown adjusting the flame.

2.       Mix egg, sugar and cardamom well in a bowl and pour this mixture to the above roasted bananas. Mix continuously well with a wooden thin spoon so that egg is scrambled well.

3.       Serve it hot garnishing with cashew nuts and raisins. (nuts and raisins too can be roasted with egg & banana, depending on your taste preferences.)

Now give the Banana and Egg Roast to your little ones with a cup of Horlicks or Boost..!! Let them enjoy...

Vanilla Pudding

I happened to receive a private message in Face book from a person who is a regular reader of this blog. She told that she has tried Apple mayo salad for a party at her home and got applause from many. She asked for some desserts’ recipe for her to try on a family get together gonna happen at her home next week. As per her request to post, I’m adding some pudding recipes here.






Ingredients:
Milk – 1 litre
Sugar – 250 g
Milkmaid – 1 tin (400g)
Vanilla Essence – 1 tea spoon
China grass – 10 gram

How to:

1.       Heat china grass cut into small pieces in a separate dish with half cup of water. Keep on stirring until boiled and keep it aside.
2.       Boil milk in a vessel (nonstick) and add sugar into it. Once milk is boiled, add Vanilla essence to it and add milkmaid (1 full tin or ½ tin). Depending on the quantity of added milkmaid, sugar should be adjusted as milkmaid is sweet **. To this mixture, add the boiled China grass mix and switch off the flame. Stir well.
3.       Pour the above liquid into an open glass bowl and leave to cool down.
4.       Keep the bowl in refrigerator (not in freezer) and you can consume it after one hour on decorating it with nuts/Chocó bits/cherries according to your imagination.

Note: ** Sugar quantity should be a little more than what is needed, as on freezing the pudding might become a bit less sweeter.

As usual, the call with my sis went on for almost an hour. She shared so many routine stuffs, fun with her naughty kids, kitchen tensions, about the new mobile game to which she’s addicted so and so. She mentioned about the friends n family get together which she was going to attend the next day and the innovative dishes she’s going to prepare for it. But she was a bit confused about the salad part. No new idea came into her mind, she told. I suggested her to go for Apple Mayo salad and asked her to note down the recipe.
