Ice Cream Bread Recipe – How To Make Cake With Ice Cream

Ice cream bread/ Ice cream cake is an easy 2 ingredient bread baked using all purpose flour / cake flour and melted ice cream. Recently I prepared homemade Vanilla ice cream and Butterscotch icecream using Amul fresh cream and condensed milk. I used the leftover ice cream for this recipe. After referring so many recipes, I found full fat ice cream works the best for this ice cream bread recipe. But I tried with ice cream prepared using low fat Amul fresh cream. Still my bread came out very well and soft. 

Basically this ice cream bread tastes bland with mild sweetness. So I modified the recipe and added some powdered sugar, milk. It came out very well, soft and spongy. Raksha loved it very much. You too give a try in this summer vacation for your kids. They will love it for sure. Vanilla ice cream is preffered but you can try with other flavors as well. I used vanilla ice cream and butterscotch ice cream in equal quantity. So the color of bread varies as per the ice cream you use. Ok, lets see how to make easy, yummy, homemade ice cream bread recipe at home using leftover ice cream.

Chettinad Kalkandu Vadai Recipe - Sweet Medhu Vada / Sweet ulundhu vadai With Video

Kalkandu Vadai (Sugar candy vada) is a Chettinad Special Sweet Medhu Vada Recipe/ sweet ulundhu vadai made especially for Diwali and Thirukarthigai Deepam festivals. Recently we had a 2 days trip to Karaikudi, Chettinad just to explore its food and other specialties. We relished an elaborate, traditional Chettinad lunch at “The Bangala” and had a pleasant stay at “Chidambara Vilas” heritage hotel. In this trip, I got a chance to taste most of the Chettinad special delicacies like Kandarappam, Vellai paniyaram with kara chutney, Thalicha idiyappam, Kosumalli, Kondakadalai Mandi, Getti kuzhambu, Paruppu urundai kulambu, More kulambu, Milagu kulambu, Payasam, some poriyal , pachadi and kootu varieties. 

We bought all the Chettinad specialty snacks from Soundaram Aachi stores. I also bought a kg of white raw rice / Maavu arisi and murukku press near Koppudai amman temple street for making Chettinad thenkuzhal by enquiring the staffs in Soundaram aachi kadai. I visited the antique stores to buy some props for blog but I din’t buy anything as I found them too costly and not worthy for its price. Finally I bought 2 Chettinad Cotton sarees as well. Totally it was a memorable one to cherish for years. Soon I will try to make a separate post about our trip in detail with all the pictures. 

After this trip, I got tempted to try some Chettinad recipes in my kitchen and share with my readers. So I bought “100 Chettinad recipes cookbook “ and started trying them one by one. Last week Sendhil’s friends visited us. Luckily I came to know that they are from Chettinad . I became very happy and passed this book to her to know the authenticity of the recipes given in the book. Thanks a lot Mrs. Inba Venkatesh. She explained each and every recipe along with few corrections. She told me to try this Kalkandu vada as its one of the most special snacks recipe of Chettinad. So I tried this recipe referring the cookbook and few Youtube videos. Even though its my first attempt, it came out really well. I am very happy with the result. It tasted crispy outside and very soft inside. Its so easy to make too. Lets see how to make Chettinad special Kalkandu vadai with step by step pictures.

Kalkandu Vadai Recipe - Sweet Medhu Vada

Kalkandu vadai - Sweet medhu vada made with urad dal and sugar candy.

Cuisine: South Indian

Category: Sweet

Serves: 6

Prep time: 60 Minutes

Cook time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 70 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 250ml White round Urad dal - 1/2 cup Raw rice - 1 tbsp Sugar candy / Kalkandu - 1/3 cup ( I used diamond kalkandu) Salt - A pinch Cooking oil - to deep fry vada

HOW TO MAKE SWEET ULUNDHU VADAI - METHOD

1. Wash and soak urad dal and rice in a bowl adding water for one hour.
2. In a mixie jar, grind sugar candy to smooth powder. 
3. To this powder, add the soaked dal +rice by draining the water completely.
4. Grind to a smooth paste without adding water.
5. Add salt to the batter, mix well and keep aside.
6. Heat oil and make vada. Deep fry both sides till golden.
7. Remove and enjoy hot !

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Wash and soak urad dal and raw rice in a bowl adding enough water. Soak for one hour.  In a big mixie jar, powder the sugar candy/ kakandu smoothly. Alternatively you can use sugar instead of sugar candy. Take the soaked dal+rice and drain the water completely. Add the soaked dal+ rice to mixie jar. Grind to a smooth paste without adding water. Powdered kalkandu helps to grind the dal smooth without water.  So do not add water, just wipe the sides of mixie jar and grind continously to make a smooth batter.  Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt just before making vada. Mix well with a spoon to prevent batter becoming watery.Keep aside. Add 1/2 cup of water to the mixie jar and grind it to wash the jar. Transfer to another bowl and use this water for dipping your hands while shaping the vada. If you fry the vada later, you can refrigerate the batter till use.  Heat oil in a kadai and when it gets heated , drop a pinch of batter to check the heat of oil. If the batter rises to the top immediately, oil temperature is correct. Now lower the flame to medium and drop the vada.  Dip your fingers in water and take a small portion of batter from one corner of the bowl. Make a ball, flatten it slightly and make a hole in the center. Turn your hand upside down. Drop the vada in oil by slightly tilting your fingers. Make 2 to 3 vada per batch. Cook in medium flame by flipping it whenever needed. Cook till golden brown on both the sides.  Do not cook these vada in high flame because vada turns black quickly because of sugar candy.So cook patiently in low to medium flame. .Remove the vada in a tisue paper and serve hot. You can refrigerate the remaining batter for 2 days and make vada at your will. Enjoy ! This vada stays good for 2 to 3 days.

Note

If you don't have sugar candy, you can use sugar. Never use water for grinding the batter. Cook in low to medium flame patiently. If the vada absorbs more oil, add 1 to 2 tsp of rice flour to the batter. Do not add salt while grinding the batter. It makes the batter watery.

Try this easy, yummy, sweet urad dal vada / Kalkandu and enjoy !

Baby Corn Bajji Recipe - Baby Corn Fingers Recipe

This is our South Indian style bajji recipe with baby corn. Baby corn bajji in Tamil also known as baby corn fingers was in my try list for years. Long back I had posted baby corn golden fritters / baby corn 65 which is a super hit recipe in my blog. After that I din’t post any baby corn snack recipe for long time. 

As summer vacation is started here, Raksha told me to make some bajji or bonda for her evening snacks. So I wanted to post this baby corn bajji and made it. I used besan flour and rice flour in the ratio of 2:1 and made bajji batter in thick flowing consistency.  It came out very well with crispy exterior and soft interior. We loved it very much. Friends, do try this easy, yummy, crispy baby corn bajji for your kids during this vacation and share your feedback with me.

Baby corn bajji recipe / Baby corn golden fingers for kids snacks

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Snacks recipes

Serves: 10 nos

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 20 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 250ml Besan flour - 1/2 cup Rice flour - 1/4 cup Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp Garam masala powder – 1/4 tsp (optional, I used it) Hing / Asafetida - 1/4 tsp Salt - as needed Baking soda / cooking soda – 1/4 tsp Red Food color – a pinch (Optional) Water – As needed( I used around 3/4 cup) Cooking oil - to deep fry

HOW TO MAKE BABY CORN BAJJI

1. Peel the baby corn and discard the skin. Pressure cook the whole baby corn in high flame for one whistle OR boil in water till it becomes soft.
2. In a wide bowl, mix all the ingredients except cooking oil to make bajji batter.
3. Dip the cooked baby corn in the batter.
4. Deep fry in oil on both the sides. Remove when it turns golden in color.
5. Serve with coconut chutney or tomato ketchup.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Peel the skin of baby corn and wash it. In a cooker base, add 2 cups of water. In a small bowl, keep the peeled baby corn and add very little water to it. Let it pressure cook in high flame for one whistle or cook till it becomes soft but firm. Remove the bowl from the cooker. Drain the excess water if any. Keep it aside.  Some people use raw baby corn to make bajji. So pressure cooking is an optional step. But I love to have soft baby corn. So I cooked it. In a wide bowl, mix besan flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, hing, salt, baking soda and mix well. Add water and make thick bajji batter in flowing consistency. Set aside for few minutes till oil gets heated. Heat cooking oil in a kadai. Drop a pinch of bajji batter. If it sizzles and rises to the top immediately, heat of the oil is just right. Take one cooked baby corn. Dip it inside the batter, coat it well and take it out by holding the tail part. Drop in the hot oil. Repeat the same and put 2 to 3 bajji in one batch. Flip and Cook both the sides till it turns golden. Remove the bajji in a tissue paper. Enjoy with coconut chutney or tomato ketchup !

Note

If you want to use less rice flour, use besan and rice flour in the ratio of 3:1 instead of 2:1. You can add a pinch of food color to get a bright colored bajji like in teashops. Adding baking soda helps to make puffy and soft bajji.

Enjoy this easy, yummy baby corn bajji with tomato ketchup !

Panko bread crumbs helps to retain the crispness for long time. But you can use homemade bread crumbs too by grinding 4 to 6 bread slices in mixie.

Addition of garam masala is optional and not mentioned in original recipe. I used it. You can make this nuggets ahead and freeze till use.

Avarekalu season is started in Bangalore. Every year I never forget to try some interesting avarekalu recipes during this season. My School moms friends are the biggest inspiration & source for my Karnataka recipes. This year they suggested me to try Avarekalu uppittu & avarekalu mixture recipe. Avarekalu mixture is an yummy South Indian mixture recipe prepared with the combination of deep fried avarekalu(Hyacinth beans / Flat beans/ Indian lilva beans in English, Mochakottai in Tamil, Surti papdi in Hindi), poha, peanuts, nuts and raisins.

 One can find it easily in most of the snacks and savory shops in Bangalore at this time. In many places, people make this mixture only with avarekalu. But I like to add all the other ingredients to yield more quantity and taste. Hitikida avarekalu (Skinless beans) works well for this mixture recipe. It was so good and crunchy to taste. I am sure kids and adults would love to munch it during tea time. It would be ideal for their snacks box as well. Even though its high in calories, its a very tasty indulgence. You can also make this mixture with dry avarekalu/ dried beans by soaking overnight in water. 

Do try this yummy mixture recipe in this avarekalu season. You will love it. Ok, lets see how to make Avarekalu mixture recipe with step by step pictures.

How to make South Indian style mixture recipe with avarekalu / Mochai / Hyacinth beans

Cuisine: South Indian

Category: Snacks

Serves: Serves 4

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Cook time: 15 Minutes

Total time: 20 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - 250ml Hitikida Avarekalu / Skin less Field beans / Hyacinth beans / Pachai mochai kottai - 1 cup Thick poha - 1/2 cup ( Use 1/4 cup for less poha) Peanuts – 2.5 tbsp Fried gram dal - 1 tbsp Cashew nuts - 5 nos (Break into two) Dry grapes/ Raisins - Few (Optional) Red chilli powder - 1 tsp Curry leaves – few Cooking oil – to deep fry Salt - as needed Sugar – 1/4 tsp (optional) Dry coconut pieces – Few (Optional, I din’t use it) Hing / asafetida – A big pinch

HOW TO MAKE AVAREKALU MIXTURE

1. Wash and soak avarekalu in water overnight or for 6 hours.
2. Peel the skin and keep it ready.
3. Spread them in a cloth. Pat it dry.
4. Heat oil and deep fry avarekalu in batches. Cook till bubbles cease.
5. Remove them in a paper towel. Deep fry poha, peanuts, cashews, dry grapes and fried gram dal one by one and add to fried avarekalu.
6. Add salt, red chilli powder and hing. Mix well.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Wash and soak avarekalu in water overnight or for 4 to 6 hours. Peel the skin by pressing the avarekalu between your thumb finger and pointer finger. Skin comes off easily. Collect them in a bowl. You can also split them into two halves if you like. Refer the picture below. Spread the peeled avarekalu in a cotton cloth and pat it dry to remove its moisture completely. Make sure its dry. Do not rest the avarekalu in the cloth for long time. It will become hard to eat after frying. So its enough if you just pat it dry nicely. Heat oil in a kadai to deep fry. Fry avarekalu in 3 batches. When you put the avarekalu in oil, it settles down in the bottom of oil with lots of bubbles. Once its cooked and becomes crispy, it will float on the top of oil without bubbles. You can remove them at this stage. Cook in medium high flame and keep tossing gently till its crispy else the entire mixture will become soggy the next day. So please be patient while frying avarekalu. Each batch takes nearly 5 minutes but its color won’t change. Drain the oil and Remove the avarekalu in a tissue paper. Now deep fry poha till crispy and add to fried avarekalu. Then deep fry peanuts, cashews till golden and remove them. Collect them in the avarekalu bowl.Deep fry dry grapes till puffy. Remove and add to the mixture. Lastly fry the fried gram dal just for a minute and remove it. Fry curry leaves and add it. Mix all the fried items in a wide bowl. Add salt, red chilli powder, sugar and a pinch of hing. Toss it to coat well. Serve with hot coffee/tea. Enjoy ! Store in an air tight box after it comes to room temperature. Enjoy up to a week!

Note

For variations, you can roast Kellogg's corn flakes in 2tsp oil and add to the mixture instead of poha. Frying the avarekalu properly is the key to make perfect crispy mixture. If you rest the avarekalu in the cloth for long time, it loses all the moisture and becomes very dry. So it will taste hard once you deep fry. So it is enough if you just pat it dry. Adjust the quantity of chilli powder as per taste. For variations, you can also add 2 pinches of chat masala powder and black salt.

Try this easy, yummy, crispy Avarekalu Mixture and enjoy with tea/coffee !

Mushroom 65 Recipe – How To Make Crispy Mushroom fry - Kalan 65 Recipe

Mushroom 65 / Crispy mushroom fry ( Kalan 65 in Tamil) is one of the easy Indian snacks recipes using mushroom. We have tasted this several times in restaurants/hotels. Many vegetarians avoid mushroom as it gives the smell of taste of eating non-veg food. But I include in my cooking once in a while as it has amazing health benefits. Its low in calories, gluten free, high in anti oxidants, high in potassium to control blood pressure, helps in weight management, boost immunity and much more. But we should be careful while buying mushroom. Always choose fresh ones to avoid ailments like stomach upset, food poisoning etc. 

Yesterday I bought a pack of fresh, edible button mushrooms from Metro Cash n Carry. Usually I make biryani with Mushrooms. This time I tried crispy mushroom 65 following my fail proof Gobi 65 recipe. It came out very crispy and tasty. Sendhil & myself liked it a lot. I am planning to try some kurma or kuzhambu with the leftover pieces. I also made Paneer 65 with the remaining batter for Raksha. 

If you follow this recipe, you can make crispy paneer 65, baby corn 65 and gobi 65. Its an all rounder recipe. If you want to keep it crispy for long time, you need to deep fry it twice just like the hotels and street side shops. Yes, To make restaurant style crispy mushroom 65, we need to deep fry it twice without worrying about calories. This is the only secret, nothing else I feel. I have shared this point in my Gobi manchurian post too. After all we are going to make it once in a while at home. But don’t feel bad, this recipe itself gives you crispy mushroom 65 even if you don’t deep fry it twice. Ok, lets see how to make mushroom 65 with crispy exterior and soft exterior with step by step pictures.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Wash the mushroom twice and discard the stem. Wipe it dry and chop into cubes. In a wide bowl, mix maida, corn flour, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, ginger garlic paste, fennel seeds powder, lemon juice, salt and required water. Mix well without lumps. Make into thick bajji batter consistency. Thin batter makes tails while frying. So batter should be thick and coat mushrooms well. Add the chopped mushroom. Mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes. You can also refrigerate the batter if you keep it for long time. You can also prepare this batter well in advance, refrigerate and deep fry when needed. Heat oil in a kadai and when it gets heated , put a drop of batter and check the oil temperature. If it comes to top immediately, heat of the oil is right. Now take the batter, put the mushroom pieces one by one in the hot oil using a spoon. Do not use your hands for dropping mushroom in the oil because the coating may go off. So its better to use a spoon. Deep fry in medium flame by tossing it regularly. Flip and cook both sides till golden brown in color. Bubbles should also cease well. No problem if there are one or two bubbles. Remove using a slotted ladle and drain in a tissue paper. Deep fry few curry leaves for garnishing. Add to fried mushroom. Serve hot for best taste. Kids love to have with tomato sauce. Enjoy !

Note

Remember batter should be thick and coat able. If its thin, tails may form in oil while dropping mushroom. You can skip marination if you are in a hurry.   This mushroom 65 stays crispy for 15 to 30 minutes. To make it super crispy that holds for long time, you should deep fry it twice.  No need to use curd in this recipe. If you don’t have corn flour, you can use rice flour. You can also add crushed kasoori methi in the batter for more flavor.
