Eggless Banana Muffin / Eggless Banana Bread / Eggless Muffin

Comments (1) | Wednesday, 24 June 2015


My daughter just loves the word "muffin" and the look of it and the smell of it as well. She loves this word because of the "muffin man" rhyme. She does not like to eat it that much yet though. She is 2.5 years old now. However , to my surprise she liked these muffins. She hated the chunks of pecans but liked the muffin as such. So from next time onwards, I thought of making them so there are no chunks to bite into. My husband loved it too. There was left over batter which I poured into bread pan and it came out great too. It looked like bread but it was a banana bread. Absolutely fantastic. Must try.

Bombay Halwa / Dessert for kids /3 Ingredient Dessert.

Comments (1) | Wednesday, 3 June 2015



​Bombay Halwa is a very famous sweet dish in India especially Bombay (Mumbai now). As a child, this was my favourite. I can say, its kinda like gummy chocolates i.e., chewy. Its made of corn flour, sugar and clarified butter. Its so easy to make and super tasty. Here, I tried to include a few food colors with the hope it would come out really rainbowy colorful but it didn't really come up exactly like I imagined but still looks good on its own. 
Do try it and I am sure you are going to love it. Thank you for reading my post.

Ingredients: 

  1. Sugar - 1 cup 
  2. Corn flour - 1/4 Cup 
  3. Water - 125ml 
  4. Ghee/clarified butter - 1/2 cup 
  5. Cardamom Powder - 1 tbsp
  6. Cashews - 1/2 cup
Preparation Steps:




  1. Prepare sugar solution by mixing sugar and water. Bring it to a boil and turn off the stove.
  2. Mix cornflour and water just enough to make a smooth paste.
  3. Turn on the stove and keep mixing till it starts to form lumpy. Turn off the stove.
  4. Pour the hot sugar solution slowly little by little and keep mixing.​
  5. Turn on the stove, start pouring the ghee/clarified butter and keep mixing till it forms a smooth silky thick mixture.
  6. Add the cashews and food color of your choice. I added blue, green, red, orange and yellow food color.
  7. Transfer the mix to another vessel. Flatten it with a spatula and let it set for atleast 30mins. Cut it into smaller pieces and serve and enjoy.

The Rainbow Bombay Halwa is ready! Enjoy!​

Comments (0) | Tuesday, 10 March 2015


 For this Valentine's Day, we decided to go Vegetarian. Since it was vegetarian, it was tough to decide upon a great menu to please myself and my husband. Finally, with my sister's help, I came up with this menu - Potato Heart Dumplings in Spicy Curry, Steamed Basmati Rice, Salad and Rosemary Avocado Sorbet. The juice we decided to include in this meal was Rose Lemonade which was awesome. My husband loved it. I gave the the Rosemary Avocado Sorbet to my toddler later on and she just finished it up. I was super super happy! Please do try it and am sure you will love it too. Thank you.

 ​I try my best to make my toddler eat all the vegetables but I have not been so successful with beets. So, I decided to make Beet Bars because she enjoys baked stuff. With an attempt to make this dish as healthy as possible, I decided to eliminate all purpose flour and used rice powder, semolina, cornmeal, milk and yogurt. I was so happy as I was making it because I was using all super healthy ingredients. The output was great. The dish had a great color which encouraged my daughter to eat it. So, all in all, it was a successful event. Hope you try it. Thank you.

Under The Sea Themed Eggless White Forest Lemon Cake.

Comments (0) | Wednesday, 31 December 2014



My daughter turned 2 years old last week. She loves sea creatures so I decided to make her an UNDER THE SEA themed cake. I made an Eggless 2 TIER WHITE FOREST LEMON CAKE with 2 layers on each tier with blue colored frosting in-between the layers and marshmallow fondant on top. I tried to make all the sea creatures my little one loves like the sea turtle, octopus, star fish and some tiny fishes. I also made some sea weeds as well to give it a more authentic look. It took me about 14 hours to make it because I am just in the learning phase but all this effort was totally worth-ed for me. I had tears in my eyes with the final outcome. My daughter loved it. She started name calling all the sea creatures on the cake and was so excited. My husband loved it too and the birthday party was a great great hit. It was absolutely a great achievement for me which I will cherish my whole life.

Gondh Jowar Aata Ladoo for kids / Natural Gum Sorghum Flour Cookies (No Bake) for kids.

Comments (0) | Monday, 8 December 2014




Jowar/Sorghum is a staple food in India. It is used in gluten free baking. It is used to make flat-breads which is very famous as Jowar Roti in India. We can make pancakes, porridge, cakes etc with Sorghum flour. Sorghum flour is a powerhouse of nutrients. It is high in iron, protein and dietary fiber. Hence, I use this in my cooking. I make various kinds of cookies with different flours for my toddler so she gets all the nutrients possible.
I have also used natural gum which is a fantastic ingredient for our health and great especially during winters because it helps build resistance to cold.
I have made these cookies the traditional way we make them in India. Hope you like it. Thank you.
