Avarekalu Huli Recipe – Hyacinth Beans Gravy–Karnataka Recipes
Last year during this time, I shared Hitkidabele Avarekalu saaru and Avarekalu Pulao recipes. So this year i tried a yummy Avarekalu Huli recipe and Avarekalu dry palya for rice by getting the recipes from my friend Megha. She shared her mom’s recipe which was very different from the ones I saw in various blogs.So i tried it & came out really well.We loved this gravy with rice. It was tasting more like Arachuvitta Vathakuzhambu. I used less oil than what Megha suggested. Still it was very tasty. Ok, Lets see how to prepare Karnataka style Avarekalu Huli.

Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe – Eggless Chocolate Cake Without Condensed Milk
Last month I tried this eggless, super soft, moist & spongy basic Chocolate cake recipe without condensed milk for my FIL’s birthday. I wanted to share this as my new year’s post but I couldn’t do it. This post was lying in my drafts. As I am out of station, I thought of sharing this post today. I tried to do icing/frosting for the cake but it was not good. I must learn to do it perfect. But the cake base was a super hit at home.
I have tried eggless chocolate cake with condensed milk for my black forest cake recipe. So I was looking for a recipe without condensed milk & butter. I came across this recipe Sharmis blog, made a small change and tried it. It came out very well. I have baked this cake so many times for Raksha’s school Christmas & New year party but without icing. I just made a simple decoration by drizzling some Hershey’s chocolate syrup and sprinkled some sugar balls. All her friends loved the cake and asked her whether your mom is a chef. This was the best complement I’ve ever received for my baking.
And now Iam happily sharing this fool proof recipe with you all. Try it for your family and take the credits. Ok, lets see how to make this eggless, spongy, moist chocolate cake recipe using oil. If you wish to try this cake using pressure cooker, please refer THIS POST for the baking procedure.
