TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS CAKE ( RUM CAKE)

Hi All, Traditional CHRISTMAS CAKE using Rum!! I think so far this is the one cake which I tried beyond my limit.Though the recipe is so simple ,using rum ,brown sugar in cake is new to me.Even I have not tasted Rum cake before.Last year my husband insisted me to make traditional cake for Christmas but I never got guts to try it.But this year I planned this cake ahead and finally got rum , soaked fruits ,baked them and it was yummy.While baking I was scared the whole house was going to fill with Rum smell and if we eat the cake the same odour will come from me also. So scary I closed all the windows and doors while baking 😏 ,But this cake proved me that all my beliefs were wrong.This is one of the best cake I ever baked and also the rum and brown sugar gave wonderful taste,dark brown colour and amazing softness to cake.. I referred Jamie Oliver's website for this cake recipe and within two days I received JAMIE OLIVER'S book from Betterbutter contest team (for contes...

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...
