Pineapple Pastry




Pineapple Pastry

Pineapple pastry/Gateaux is a delicious treat and goes out for all those who have a sweet tooth. It has a soft and melt in mouth texture and is very common in Indian bakeries.  It was everyone's favorite back home. It is basic sponge cake with fruit and whipped cream frosting. Made this for Father's day and my family enjoyed it. Try this,you will surely love it.

Ingredients

For the cake
Self raising flour-1 cup
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Salt- a pinch
Butter- 3 tbs
Egg-6
Vanilla essence- 1 1/2 tsp

For the filling and syrup
Chopped pineapples- 1 1/2 cup
Sugar- 2 tsp

For the cream
Heavy whipping cream- 2 cup
Vanilla essence- 1 tsp
Powdered sugar- 3 tbs

Chopped pineapple and cherries for garnish




Chop pineapples into small cubes and add sugar and set aside for some time. Strain out the liquid that comes  from pineapple.
Keep the pineapple aside( preferably in fridge) and simmer the liquid in a sauce pan in low flame for two minutes and allow it to cool.
Bring butter and eggs to room temperature. Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks.
Shift flour three to four times to make it light and airy.
With a hand mixture beat egg yolks and sugar till it becomes a creamy and light mixture. Add vanilla essence and beat till attains a thick ribbon consistency.
Add in the flour little by little and mix well. In a separate  bowl beat egg white till it forms medium stiff peaks. This will take about three  minutes. Now gently fold this into the cake batter and pour into prepared cake tin. I used a 18"x 13" pan. Bake in 300 degree F for about 10- 12 minutes or till a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool down completely.

To make the whipped cream. Keep the bowl and the whisk in fridge for some time. Now into this cold bowl pour 2 cup of chilled  heavy whipping cream,essence and sugar. Beat this in a low speed for one minute and then increase the speed to high and beat till the cream turns into soft stiff peaks. Cover and keep in fridge till it is time to assemble the cake.
To assemble the cake:Cut cake into desired sized. I cut my sheet cake into three equal sized pieces. Place one sheet and drizzle a little of pineapple syrup. Spread a layer of whipped cream and then a little of chopped pineapple. Place the second layer, drizzle syrup,spread cream and pineapple pieces. Place the last layer, sprinkle some syrup and spread the rest of the cream all over and decorate. Enjoy!



Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy.

Dil Pasand (Sweet Puffs)

Dil Pasand (Sweet Puffs) Dilpasand/Dilkush is a snack made with puff pastry and has a sweet filling.This sweet puff is found bakeries and food stalls all over South India.Back in my home town the bakeries sell two versions of this. It had the same filling of sweet coconut,nuts and tutti-fruit. The only difference was the crust It can be either flaky crispy puff pastry or a sort of rough pasty dough sometimes very close to sweet bun.If you are craving for something sweet as a tea time snack try this simple and yummy snack. Ingredients Pastry dough sheets-2 Egg white-1 (for the glaze) For the filling Shredded coconut-3/4 cup Cashew nuts-  8-10 Raisins- a few Glazed cherries- 1/2 cup Tutti fruit- 2 tbs Sugar- 2 tbs ( adjust according to your taste  I used more of glazed cherry which was sweet) Cardamon powder- 1/2 tsp Ghee- 1/2 tsp To make the filling Heat ghee in a pan and slightly fry cashews and raisins and keep aside. Next slightly roast coc...

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...

Nadan Mutton Curry/ Kerala Mutton Curry

Nadan Mutton curry Nadan mutton curry is deliciously spicy and a much-coveted dish in restaurants and eateries in Kerala. This luscious flavored mutton curry has the deep essence of Kerala cooking, with aromatic spices and coconut abundantly available in the state. If you wish for some spicy non vegetarian weekend meal, here is one to relish. This curry is magical, with few ingredients, but with great flavors. For me, it is a homey dish that my family adores. It tastes divine with Kerala parottas or with soft lacy appam, you can also serve this steamed rice, puttu, or chapati. Naadan mutton curry is easy to make. What makes this dish flavorful and inviting is the flavor of fresh ground masala, coconut oil, and the fresh taste of curry leaves. In this recipe, I have also added mint. I love adding fried mint in my homemade mutton curry just like my mom( but it is optional). There are chilies- lots of them for a fiery look, and I prefer Kashmiri chilly, which has color and les...
