Eggless Carrot Cake



Starting the 3rd week of December,Bake-A-Thon with an exotic carrot cake.This eggless carrot cake is a soft,moist cake with a cinnamon flavor.The cake itself  tastes so delicious,to make it even more luscious,it can be glazed with cream cheese or any frosting.Finely chopped nuts and raisin would add a nice crunch to the cake.
Coming to the recipe here I have used both butter and oil.I skipped the raisins as my kids like smooth texture of the cake.So used finely chopped almond and pecans.

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.                                                                                                                                  ...
