SWISS JAM ROLL CAKE



Hi All,
Cakes!! As I told earlier the word cake itself makes me joy and happy. I never get bored or get tired while making cakes. Though I make some varieties of bakes so far I have not come out of my safe zone. Not even in cooking , even in my photography I stick in my safe zone.
Now I started coming out of my box, and started exploring my skills in cooking, photography etc.
And one of my recent trial is this swiss roll cake, even in first trial the outcome was decently good, so during second trial it came out beautifully good, yummy and perfectly shaped.
I made during new year and when the cake was super hit I made a big batch for my husband office.
While making swiss roll cake always roll the cake with patience and work fast everything has to be done ontime. Also oven temperature plays important role , never over bake as the cake will break while rolling.
I will mention all tips in notes part, pls see for complete help,

NOTES:
1) Oven temperature varies from oven to oven so first bake for 8 mins,check and bake if needed.
2) Don’t over bake and as cake will become crisp and break while rolling.
3) Also roll immediately after baking,when cooled you cannot roll.
4) If you don’t have baking paper , just grease the pan heavily with butter and flour.
5) And while rolling instead of baking paper, you can use fresh thin towel too.
6) The cake should be thin, so in tray add batter only for 2 to 3 mm height so after baking you will get 5 to 6 mm cake which is easy to roll.

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
