Mixed fruit chat/Indian style spicy tangy mixed fruits salad/easy dinner recipes

I love fruit salads more than the vegetable salads..Often makes different kind of salads for dinner,even my hubby loves to finish a big bowl of fruits for dinner time..Generally i prefers mint creamy fruit salad but this time for a variation tried this fruit chat..Yes..

Egg free butter free orange cake with fresh orange juice and condensed milk/step by step pictures/Egg less orange cake with chocolate frosting/

I already posted orange cake around 2 years back.But,It is not my favorite,even my two little naughties also don`t likes it very much.They prefers only chocolate cakes.(Demons)  But we people blessed with lots of oranges here in foz.So,obviously,orange juice is a common drink at my home every day in the evening.,As usual i prepared a big jar orange juice few days back and after drinking up remained around a cup of juice.To use that left over juice I tried this orange cake and routine chocolate cake in the same day..It is an egg less and butter less version,and for more healthy,you can also replace all purpose flour with wheat flour,but add 1-2 tbsp extra orange juice to balance the batter consistency.Condensed milk gives a good sweet taste in this cake,but still you can use sugar in place of that if you want.The aroma of the cake was so good with orange flavor and I skipped orange zest.Yup..That`s called laziness...

Actually Iam very poor in decorating cakes.But,this time i was in mood to decorate.So, took some chocolate chips and melted them.After frosting well refrigerated fro some time.finally on top of the cake and sprinkled some color shaves.Here is the complete recipe with pictures.check it and try it..

Ingredients

all purpose flour-1 1/4 cups

condensed milk-3/4 cup
oil-4 tbsp

baking powder- 1 1/2 tsp

baking soda-1/2 tsp

orange juice-1/4 cup

orange zest-1 tsp
milk-1/4 cup
sugar-1/4 cup
any flavored jam-1 tsp

Preparation

1.preheat the to 180 degree C..apply oil or butter to the baking tin and dust it with flour. or place equal size of butter paper and apply oil on it.

2.add oil,milk,orange juice,sugar,condensed milk and orange zest in a bowl.mix well.

3.add in flour,baking powder,jam and soda and mix well.

4.finally add fistful of tutti frutti and fold together well.pour this batter in baking tin and bake for 30-40min.

5.to check insert a knife and if it comes out clean then the cake is ready to remove.

6.cool it on a wire rack for some time.slice and serve........

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

In a bowl take 1 cup of chocolate chips.Add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp milk to it.In double boiler method melt it completely.Wait until it reaches to room temperature. then frost on cool cake.Sprinkle some shaves on top and refrigerate for few minutes and serve.

MAHAS NOTES

If you want you can add any of your favorite nuts too.Replace APF with wheat flour for healthy version.

Replace sugar with condensed mil with same quantity.

You can use butter in the place of oil.

Vanilla is allowed in this,but I don`t have that in kitchen.

Adding jam is optional.But gives a good taste.

Tips for Using Flax Seed

• Drink plenty of water. There is so much soluble fiber in flax that it is important to drink plenty of water when eating flax products, otherwise constipation may result.
