Gulgule… The name itself say it all for this cute lil sweet fritters. Small round golden fritters flavored with banana and fennel are a must make at my home during Ramadan. The size of Gulgule totally depends on personal choice. This i guess was the first home made sweet i had during my childhood. Ever since i have a strong fonding towards Gulgule. The name has no specific meaning. Just because the fritters are small and round in shape, they were name as Gol Gole (That means Round balls) which later became gulgule. Gulgule also has a certain traditional significance…

Well the banana cake resembles a banana bread bcz of its texture. Though the ingredients is same as a cake but it’s a bread.

Again one of my favorite childhood tea time snack… Nankhatai also known as Indian shortbread cookies or biscuits. There are many variants of Nankhatai but here i have tried the easiest one made mainly with flour, sugar and ghee. In this recipe i have added a lil gram flour (besan) and semolina (suji) also. I have grown up seeing my mom baking these sweet goodies for us in those old fashioned ovens where racks and racks of mouth melting nankhatais were baked. Today though we don’t have those assets but still i tried baking some to satisfy my sweet urge….

It’s Christmas time and lots of baking going around which inspired me baking a cake too. After lots of online searches i found my friend Nidhi S Raj’s recipe of Tooti Fruity Cake as the best and worth trying. I followed the original recipe from http://soulandspicebox.com/eggless-tooti-fruity-loaf/. The recipe was precise and easy to follow. As i wanted to try my hands on an eggless version, hence this recipe came out to be the best. Though the original recipe doesn’t have dry fruits but i chose to add some to make it a lil more rich.

Cornmeal is a kind of flour or meal that is made from ground sweet corn. It comes in yellow, white, blue or red varieties, depending on the type of corn used. Since cornmeal is gluten-free, fine and medium cornmeal is usually mixed with wheat flour to create a crumbly texture in baked goods like cornbread or corn muffins.Today i used white corn meal in making rawa dosa. Surprisingly the dosa came out to be much more tastier than those regular ones.
