Pineapple Muffins



Pineapple Muffins has a great flavor and is loved especially by kids. Muffins has always been easy on the go snack and also a quick breakfast . I think muffins also helps us experiment and is good for a beginner bakers like me. This was a tasty treat inspired by the pineapple upside down cake and my family enjoyed. I enjoyed it as a tea time snack rather than as a breakfast.

Ingredients
All purpose flour- 2 cups
Pineapple- 1 cup ( chopped)
Eggs- 2
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Baking powder- 1 tsp
Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
Sour cream-1/4 cup
Butter- 2 tsp
Brown sugar- 3 tsp
Pine apple juice- 1/2 cup
Orange zest- 1 tsp
Salt- a pinch
Nutmeg- a dash.




Preheat oven to 350 degree F, grese muffin tray or line up paper cups and set asie.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt together and keep aside.
In a mixing bowl add melted butter and sugar and combine well. Mix well using a hand mixer or an electric one. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Pour this into the dry mixture and incorporate it gently along with sour cream and pineapple juice and orange zest ( mine was a thicker batter consistency and could be scooped out)
Line up muffin baking tray with paper cups and pour this mixture. Fill only half cup.
Mix in brown sugar, pineapple and nutmeg and spoon in as much as you like into the cups( mix with sugar and put it in only last minute or it will become watery) Put in oven 350 degree F for about 10 minutes or till the muffins are lightly browned up.

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Berry Cake

This is a berry cake which I made a few days back. Here I used white cake recipe but dashed in a few black berries and strawberries. This cake complements any type of filling or frosting but I have just dusted it with powdered sugar to make it an accompaniment with coffee and my family really enjoyed this cake . I used self rising flour but you can use all purpose flour instead by adding in one third tsp of salt and one and one half tsp of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. Ingredients Self Raising flour- 2 cups Egg white- 3 eggs ( half Cup) Butter - one stick ( 4 ounce) Sugar- 1 cup  Confectionery sugar- 1/3 cup Milk- 1/2 cup  Vanilla essence- 2 tsp Black berries- 1 pint Strawberries - 1/2cup Preheat oven to 350 F.

Set aside.  Beat egg whites and vanilla extra...
