I can never get tired of pampering my son…. specially after a long illness when my son asks for a treat have to give him something special. For a week my baby had fever and almost lost his appetite. It was a tough time for him as well as me too. The moment he recovered the first thing he asked me to make was a custard. Though he always like to relish the regular fruit custard, but this time i thought to stretch a bit and add some breads to make a pudding. As expected the pudding turned out well…

I mean who doesn’t like a cake, specially if it is a cute lil Cup Cake. Today was a cup cake kinda day, and i’m pretty sure tomorrow it will be too.

Bread Halwa is something i can die for. Have grown up relishing this dessert made by my Dadi (grand mom). Many childhood memories freshen up the moment i take it’s first bite. The recipe was developed by my Late Grandmom and was forwarded to me by my Mom. It’s not just a dessert, it a tradition passing on to generations with it’s richness & authenticity !!!

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….

I have been always looking for a good whole wheat cake recipe. After a long search i came across a simple and no fuss recipe of whole wheat egg less orange cake. The cake has the orange flavor with a light orange color. The orange juice and the zest indeed give the cake a sweet and a fruity punch.

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.

The most commonly made Indian sweet at homes. Quick and easy loaded with loads of dry fruits make this Halwa more appetizing. I still remember when i was a kid and if there was any sudden arrival of guests, my mother use to run into the kitchen and withing minutes she use to come out with bowls of suji ka halwa. The mouth melting halwa with the richness of ghee n dry fruits was my family’s all time favorite. I still do make it for my son specially in winters.

This is a simple and traditional egg white pudding (kheer) which tastes almost like the famous Indian dessert ‘Rabri’. I had this first time when i was a kid and it was really hard for me to believe that it contains egg. The recipe got transferred from my Grandmom to my Mom and then from her to Me. The egg kheer is indeed a royal dessert and is made on special occasions at my home.
