ORANGE RAIN DROP CAKE

Hi All, RAINDROP CAKE!! I have noticed this type of cakes in few groups but I never reviewed the recipe. Recently I came across this video and as the name Orange rain drop cake looked interesting I thought of giv ing a try.Luckily I was having all the required ingredients handy so I made this cake immediately. Traditional Japanese rain drop cake does not contains any sweet , it will be served with organic cane sugar.So I tried the same method and I should really admit it was yummiest among yummy..Plain ,silky slices along with brown sugar was really a best combination, Also tangyness of orange gave a pinch of more delicious to this cake. I made two cakes one with full orange and other with slices only , with slices I tried to bring heart shape but finally it ended it up with kidney shape..Innovative mess :))) The recipe is very simple and easy to try in home.   The interesting recipe is as below for you too, INGREDIENTS: Orange – 2 nos. Sugar – 1/2 cup. Wate

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
