Ghee Cake


Ghee cake is a popular cake available in Cochin Bakeries in Kerela.As the name indicates,its made with ghee instead of butter.The cake is very flavorful with ghee and extremely soft with a very nice texture.
Originally its a pound cake can be made in a loaf pan but I made it in 2 small bundt pans and one ramekin.The recipe is given makes a 8 inch loaf.
I bookmarked the recipe from Uma's blog long time but never got a chance to attempt as we always prefer eggless bakes.
After so long time I tried a bake with egg and the cake came out so soft and my kiddo enjoyed it to the core.Lets move on to the recipe........................................................

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
