தமிழில் காண : கிளிக் 

Hi All,
RUM CHOCOLATE CAKE!! As I already told you ,we brought a bottle of rum for making traditional chirstmas cake and I don't know what to do with balance Rum :(.
Then I made Orange rum cocktail , once again fruit cake and still half more cup of rum was remaining so finally I finished it by making this yummy , super soft , chocolate cake.
The sweet recipe is below,

INGREDIENTS :
All purpose flour / Maida – 2 cup / 265 gms.
Sugar – 1 3/4 cup / 380 gms.
Oil – 3/4 cup.
Egg – 4 nos.
Cocoa powder – 1 cup.
Rum – 1/2 cup.
Baking powder – 1 tsp.
Baking soda – 1 tsp.
Salt – 1/4 tsp.
Nutmeg powder– 1/8 tsp.
Hot water – 1 cup.

METHOD : 
  1. Pre-heat oven to 170” C – 30 mins.
  2. Grease your baking pan with butter or oil and dust with flour.
  3. Sift dry ingredients together -Maida , cocoa powder , baking powder , baking soda , nutmeg powder,salt for even mixing.
  4. Either using electric beater or food processor beat oil and sugar together till sugar dissolves with oil.
  5. Then crack open each egg to oil mixture and beat till foamy , likewise add each egg and beat till mixed.
  6. Empty the egg mixture to a wide bowl , add dry ingredients , hot water little by little to egg mixture and keep mixing ( I divided them as four batches and added).
  7. Finally add rum and mix till mixed.
  8. The mixture must be in ribbon consistency ( as in picture) , if mixture is thick add little more hot water.
     
  9. Pour the cake batter to dusted pan and bake for 30 mins or till the tooth pick comes out clean.
  10. When done remove from oven and let it cool down to room temperature , then invert the cake to wire rack and leave for 1 hour to cool completely.
  11. That's all ,refrigerate the cake for 1 hour then cut the cake into two halves ,sprinkle sugar water and frost the cake as you wish.
  12. I frosted with chocolate whipped cream.
     
    NOTES :
  1. Baking time may vary from oven to oven , so after 30 mins of baking check with tooth pick and if required bake for 5 more mins.
  2. Before frosting refrigerating cake will help you to cut the cake easily without breaking.



    HAPPY COOKING!!!

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
