Eggless Orange Cake Recipe Without Condensed Milk
I usually make eggless orange biscuit cake and its our family favorite too. But this time I tried an eggless, butter less orange sponge cake recipe using fresh orange juice.This recipe is without condensed milk, curd and it’s a vegan version too. I referred this recipe and used cooking oil to achieve the softness. Cake came out very well with bursting orange flavor. I loved its color, texture, flavor and above all it was like pillow soft to touch and eat. I was completely satisfied with the result and patted myself for this successful baking.

Sundakkai Vathal Podi, Thakkali Poricha Kuzhambu Recipe - South Indian Lunch Menu For Stomach Problems
Actually I had to share a biryani recipe in my Sunday lunch series today. Sorry for disappointing you all with this post. Last 3 days I was in Rameswaram for temple visit. We had good darshan but unfortunately we all got stomach problems due to some food allergy. By God’ grace, our trip was successful and reached Bangalore yesterday.
As our stomach is completely upset, we wanted to avoid spicy foods for some days. So this afternoon I made Sundakkai Vathal podi (Dried Turkey berry powder) & Spice less, no tamarind thakkali poricha kuzhambu (tomato gravy without tamarind) along with Paruppu sadam (moong dal tadka) & thayir sadam for our lunch. I guess most of you just make dal & rasam during sick days but this is our standard lunch menu whenever we recover from any health ailments.
Sundakkai/Turkey berry is a good antibiotic to kill the ameoba in stomach. Pepper & cumin seeds used in this powder helps to improve appetite and aids digestion. Tomato is an energy booster basically. Coconut, cumin seeds/jeera and onions acts as a coolant for the upset stomach and helps for digestion.
Moong dal and curd/buttermilk helps to cure stomach inflammations. To sum up, this South Indian Lunch menu would be soothing and tasty for an upset stomach & bitter tasting tongue. Do try this menu for a change. U may like it. Not just sick days, you can consume Sundakkai podi at least once in a week to keep your stomach clean if you eat hotel food regularly. Lets check out the recipes of sundakkai podi and thakkali poricha kuzhambu below. Last but not the least, I will surely share my biryani post sometime in this week.

Sweet Corn Soup Recipe With Fresh Corn, Milk - Indian Soup Recipes
Sweet corn soup with fresh corn, milk and corn flour with step by step pictures. I never thought sweet corn soup is so easy to make until I try it on my own.We are a big fan of tomato soup recipe. Whenever we visit restaurants ,our order would be one and only tomato soup. So I make the same at home too. I never thought of making other soup recipes. Recent days I have been getting requests to post more soup and weight loss recipes. Especially my school friend Jayarani has been urging for long time to do it. So I started with this easy sweet corn soup recipe. I referred a cook book and tried this restaurant style sweet corn soup recipe. Sendhil and Raksha loved it a lot. I was surprised when Raksha asked me for second serving. Generally sweet corn soup is prepared with creamy canned sweet corn along with boiled vegetables. But this recipe called for freshly boiled sweet corn. Its a mix of Indian and Chinese versions. I was happy that I could serve a healthy soup recipe other than the usual tomato soup. Lets see how to make this yummy sweet corn soup recipe with step by step pictures.

Air fryer Spring Rolls Recipe Vegetarian | Vegetable Spring Rolls Recipe - Baked | Airfryer Recipes
Yesterday evening I tried vegetable Spring rolls using store bought spring roll pastry sheets for the first time. I baked a few in air fryer and deep fried the remaining to compare the results. I prepared a simple and easy vegetable stuffing using cabbage, carrot and capsicum. I made everything quickly and finished clicking before Raksha and Sendhil came home. Believe me, I loved the air fryer version more than the deep fried ones. Air fried ones were very very crispy compared to the other. Moreover its crispness was maintained for long time. Sendhil came 2 hours after I made the spring rolls. Even then they were crispy. I think you can make the same using convection oven too.
I was very happy that I served him a low calorie,oil less evening snack recipe. Friends, if you have any plans to buy an air fryer, just go for it without any hesitation. I am sure you won’t regret for the buy. These spring rolls can be served as a starter for small birthday parties and family functions. Everything can be prepared ( including rolling) well in advance and refrigerated. So here you go, my first recipe using air fryer – Crispy Veg Spring rolls !

Bake for the remaining 10 minutes and check the color of spring rolls. If it remains white, bake it for another 2-3 minutes or more. Remove and serve hot ! It stays crispy for long time. So you can store the baked spring rolls in the air fryer basket till you serve. |
