Eggless Butterless Dates Cake /Dates Cake


Today is day 4 and its the final day post for this week and the recipe is Dates cake under the eggless cake series.I wanted to try this cake ever since I bookmarked from Divya's space.
In the original recipe the cake looks dark brown color like a fruit cake.But mine was came out light so pale. Its may be due to the color of the dates and  also I cooked the dates with milk instead of water.That's the reason couldn't achieve a dark brown color like the original one.The cake came out so spongy with a perfect texture and the addition of cardamom powder makes it more flavorful.
This cake can be eaten as such but it tastes awesome when its served along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.Off to the recipe..............................................

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
