Mango Cake Cookie Bowl #CreativeCookieExchange

Every year in summer, Mango becomes part of our daily meal... We prepare lots of dessert from Mango like Mango custard, mango cake, Mango mousse.... These 3 things are absolutely adored by my kiddo... it's always my first preference to make...



So, while, I was deciding what to make for Cookies and Icecream event, I made Mango cake for the dessert.. The moment it came out, this idea stricked me of making cookie out of it... I always love to do experiment with my cooking, and when I succeed,it gives me immense happiness. 

This idea came to me, as I love to have my slice of cake topped with a dulloop of iceceam, some bananas or Mango's and crushed almonds... So, this idea was looking quite interesting to me...



My oven, was already hot that time, so mashed 2 slices of cake, and baked at high temperature, to make it hard...And it worked out just fine... The crunchiness and butter goodness, mixed with the flavor of ice- cream, took my heart away.. While I am writing this, I have again started craving for this delicious dessert... Meanwhile, I will go and have 1 more cookie bowl filled with Mango
ice-cream, you guys can read further.

A fun experiment. You might be able to make actual cookies the same way you made the cups, too! Hmmm...

Cooking is an art... And presenting your food is another art... Well, I believe if food in front of you doesn't look appetizing to you, then you are not going to enjoy the food... So,most of the time, I try to present the meal beautifully, which attracts the family itself to the dinner table... Every month, I bake with Bread Bakers... Every time, I try to come out of my comfort zone, and try to bake something which is new to me... This month's theme is Yeast Flat breads... Being Indian, I always make Flat Breads, as it is our staple food..... So, I decided to bake something about which I have never heard off... And google landed me to this Italian Flat bread " Focaccia". It is the best bread I ever had... So, full of flavors, and delicious... I got this recipe from All Recipes .com .... But, altered it according to my taste... #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme....

Baked Peas Kachori #Breadbakers

Image
I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was...
