RED VELVET CAKE

தமிழில் காண  : CLICK . Hi All, RED VELVET CAKE!! This cake took me almost 15 days to finalize a recipe😊 I wanted to make red velvet cake for valentines day so I tried it with a recipe one week before valentines day but it was a flop 😟.Though the cake was super moist and yummy but the cake sticked to pan and broke in two pieces 😤.Finally I made cake pops with entire cake. Then for one week I searched for recipe , discussed with many FB group friends and many good people helped me.I should thank Home Bakers guild friends who generously shared the recipe links,And finally I nailed it 😊😊.The cake was super soft , rich and bright red. Cream cheese frosting added more richness to cake. I followed the recipe from floursandfrostings.com and joyofbaking you tube video too ( and of course I altered the recipe a very little 😝) The recipe is not so tough but making this red velvet cake is really very exciting and fun too. The easy recipe is as below, YIELDED A...

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...
