Baking is like fun..But,More than that trying NO BAKE Recipes is much more fun and easy too.Along with different kind of healthy baking recipes I also searches for NO BAKE Recipes mostly..So,one fine day I attracted to this NO BAKE  BISCUIT CHOCOLATE CAKE and registered in mind.Try it this weekend and share with your beloved ones..This is a must try recipe who are sweet tooth and lazy chefs.;)...

MAKRO is a very big whole sale super market where you can buy goodies in bulk quantities...Luckily,we are staying very near to Makro and some times we visits{only 2 times we went by walk.It was horrible with kids ;)} by walk..There,one day I bought a big chocolate bar and already  I have a biscuit packet in home...Soon,I tried out this recipe and really came out well..

CATEGORY-NO BAKE RECIPES/BISCUITS/CHOCOLATE
PREPARATION TIME-20 MNS
RESTING TIME-2-3 HRS

WHAT YOU NEED
Chocolate chopped-200gms
digestive biscuits-150 gms
milk-2-3 tsps
sugar-2 tbsp(optional)
butter-1/4 cup

HOW TO MAKE

break biscuits finely and keep aside...Select a well shaped cake tin and apply butter to it.Or,line a butter paper and brush it with butter or olive oil...

Chop chocolate roughly and take it into a bowl and add milk..in the double boiler method melt it..Add butter now and give a good mix and keep aside...

Now,mix in biscuit pieces and combine well using a spatula...biscuits should coat with melted chocolate...

Change this Mixture Into cake tin and let it cool...Then refrigerate the cake tin for atleast 2 hrs or until set..

After 2 hrs it may set well and turns hard when you touch..This time you can remove from tin and slice..

MAHAS NOTES

I used bitter chocolate..but it was very hard to chop..I feel it`s better to keep out side for some time to chop easily..

You can use any kind of biscuits,cookies,crackers.but, not salted..Use good quality..coconut flavoured biscuits also gives a good taste...

After melting the chocolate add biscuits immediately and mix fast.But be careful..

You can add any kind of dry fruits,If you like...

Chocolate quantity should be high always..Other wise it may not binds well..

Refrigerating for a long time also results well..

I changed the ingredients slightly but did n`t used eggs..So,you may call this eggless,but not a vegan cake...Chocolate frosting for carrot cake may sounds different,But absolutely It was my choice...After frosting I dipped the cake in desiccated coconut powder and again topped with some walnuts..

MAHAS NOTES

Replace wheat flour with APF/Maida..for measure please check in the original place.

I added few black raisins in the cake batter..You can add any nuts..

Carrot with choco frosting along with some coconut touch tastes really delicious and must try combination of these three..

I also dropped some white sugar balls which MAHADHIP is searching..

May be, my pictures are not in good quality,but it tasted simply superb..

I highly votes this cake..Bcz,It`s egg free,butter free and used wheat flour..

HE IS VERY EAGER TO CATCH THOSE SUGAR BALLS

PUNUGLU/PUNUKULU/LEFT OVER DOSA BATTER DEEP FRIED BALLS

PUNKULU OR PUNGULU Is one of the famous deep fried snack which can prepare with Dosa batter..For,this recipe left over dosa batter may works out well instead fresh one..Old batter means which kept in fridge for 2-3 days,suits for this recipes perfectly..In the ingredients also,you can see some differences when compared with another Punugulu recipes..It means have lots of options for this recipe..For example you can add some soaked chanadal to batter or you can add black pepper corns like me..But It`s an optional...If you want very tasty punukulu,then mix all the  ingredients to the batter and keep it in room temperature for 4-5 hrs...Fermenting gives a best taste.Along with this punukulu Iam sharing a Tea recipe which I learned from my mother.She prepares tea only in the morning which is the signature recipe(this one) of her.A must try,If you are Tea lover:) The combination of both these two is simply awesome...Please try next time..

May be half of the people in world loves Tea I feel.In my school  and college days Iam also a good liker of Tea which AMMA prepares in home..I strongly says no one can prepare the tea like my mom.(Is it over confidence or love on my amma??!!) She prefers to buy pure,fresh buffalo milk instead of packets and without adding water she prefers to make Tea...I saw some people who loves to sip a full glass of tea..Those may satisfy with only half glass If they tasted my mom`s hand Tea..The secret behind her Tea is adding ginger skin and cardamoms..I really love the aroma of ginger and flavour of cardamom while sipping..Huhh!!!! It`s really a unique happy feeling while tasting which cannot express in words..MOMS recipes are always best and Iam feeling very happy to share another recipe of my MOM..

That`s it!!!!! For a twist/change added those peas and paneer cubes to pulav and cooked this super delicious CHICKEN PULAV.....

If you know the recipe of chicken pulav,then It doesn`t a big matter to cook this along with some paneer cubes and peas...Marinating paneer in less spices for some time gives very good taste.So,don`t neglect it If you have time...For a variation to the regular PULAV you can go with this..Hope you and your family may enjoy with this spicy,tasty,aromatic CHICKEN PANEER PEAS PULAV....

MAHAS NOTES

I shifted every thing into rice cooker and it cooked automatically...;-)

Marinating paneer is Important and use spices in less quantities..

Always use cilantro+mint leaves for these kind of Non-vegetarian rice mix recipes.

We are using lots INGS here,So,It`s better to use big,wide pan..

When you use whole garam masalas in the oil, then it`s better to use less garam masala powder..

Use always fresh/home made garam masala and GGP..

HAPPY WEEKEND:)
