BISCUIT MUSHROOM (NO COOKING)

Hi friends, again small gap between this and last post... Well!! How are you all??? Today I came with my innovation... Which is very simple yet delicious sweet... After making the sweet I got confused to name this... and I saved by the name of MORTAR & PESTLE... and I ask your suggestions in my FB and most of them answered that it looks like mushroom... n Yes!! so that I have named it as BISCUIT MUSHROOMS!!! How about the names friends???

Why I tried the special sweet, because in our snacks bag stocked with many pockets of biscuits which was given by my neighbor and I don't want to just bite the ordinary one so I tried something different and prepared this recipe... Hope you all liked it...

Little About Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
Molten lava cake is a popular dessert and which is always prepared in ramekin dishes with flour, egg, chocolate and butter. Here I prepared eggless molten lava cake, but no compromise on taste of it... it really very rich and chocolaty with slight firm and chewy edges and a warm fudge in center just oozing out of coat... Fantastic sweet tooth for the lava cake... 

You know one interesting fact about the lava cake...   
US based chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten claims to have invented molten chocolate cake in NY.

But French chef and chocolatier Jacques Torres has disputed that claim and arguing that such a dish already existed in France. Finally Vongerichten has been credited with popularizing it in the US and according to him, he pulled a chocolate sponge cake from oven before it was done and found that the center part was still in liquid form with good taste and texture... How they invented the lava cake!! Nevertheless who invented the lava, surely great thanks to them for the elegant dessert for special occasions...

WHITE PEAS VADA/FRITTERS/SNACKS

Hi friends, today I posting simple but yummy crispy fritters for the tea time snack and in this winter season... Enjoy making and have it hot crisp....


Little About Vadai
Vadai can vary in shape and size, but are usually either doughnut or disc-shaped and are about between 5 and 8 cm across. They are made from dal, lentil, gram flour or potato. Vadai is a traditional South Indian food know from ancient times. Although they are commonly prepared at home, vadas are as well a typical street food in the Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka. They are usually a morning food but in street stalls and in railway stations as a snack all day.

The white peas (Vellai Patani) are in my refrigeration for long time. Actually I stored this for misal pav but couldn't do it at times so I opened the pack for making kurma for chapathi/Rice and soaked it for overnight. After making kurma I have excess peas so I plan to do some snacks with it and now I came with this yummy crispy bites of vada...
