Steamed Chocolate Cake ~ a healthy treat!

Greetings! :-)

I'm here with a super easy & healthy cake recipe! You need to steam it in the cooker. SO say goodbye to ovens! :-) No worries about setting temperature, preheating and all that kinda stuff! I love making cakes in cookers. I've been making them like this for a long time now and its one of my signature recipes.

Developments: 1st month of blogging at Foodomania!

I did say that this would be my last post on Edible Entertainment. However, I just missed the Blogger platform so much so that I decided to update this blog too! ;) Exactly 1 month ago, I left blogger for my new blog and I'm extremely happy with the new space.

Have you all updated your links to be in touch with my new posts? :D If not, do so now! Since it is a WordPress blog, there won't be any Google followers button. However, you can add the feed url or my blog url on your dashboard to keep getting updates. Or like me on Facebook. I'm super active there. Google+, Twitter and Pinterest are sites I update regularly too. If not, get the posts delivered by email :D Just don't lose touch, okay?

So.. I'm having so much fun at my new blog! Although Blogger is extremely easy, there are so many things one could do at WordPress! I love it. :-D And I've already posted more than 70 recipes (of which, 20-30 are old ones from Edible Entertainment). If you haven't checked that out already, go check out now!

Here's a glimpse of what's cooking in Foodomania!

1. For starters.. I started blogging with this decadent Caramel and Chocolate Sandwich. If anything defines comfort food, it has to be this mouth watering dessert here!

2. Then came this mind boggling dessert! An ice cream made with protein powder. Actually, its a Kulfi, the Indian Ice cream. I'm very proud of this one here because it is not just tasty, but it is super healthy! ~ The Protein Powder Kulfi.

3. When it comes to Tamil Cuisine, I'm not interested because mum makes it all. But a theme based event made me rise & make this delicious and hot Sambar - a thick lentil spicy soup.

4. I outdid myself by making a healthier version of the famous Indo Chinese dish. This is the baked potato Manchurian.

5.  Finally, I found the simplest recipe for Nutty Chocolate Brownies!

Launching my NEW BLOG!

Greetings! :)

I apologize (to anybody who has missed me! :D) for being so irregular for the past few weeks. It hasn't been all hunky dory at my end. However, this blog is not a platform for me to write the woes of my life. I'll just stick to what has kept me from blogging...

It has taken a few months, but I've realized this is one hobby I'd seriously like to pursue along with the other career commitments. Even though it seems like the entire world's time is lost on me, I still vow to make time (no matter how less) for this passion. My dream is to build a go-to website for all kinds of foods from around the globe. Which is exactly why I decided to go PRO!

I've gotten myself a new domain and a host! Sorry Google! I'm gonna have to move out! :P Ladies & Gentlemen, (& spammers :D) here's introducing the new food blog in town -

Jalapeño Fritters | Molagai Bajji

It is perhaps unfair to post jalapeño two days in a row. But you need to know just how sinfully delectable both these dishes are. I wouldn't categorize either of these as "Healthy Foods". The baked cheese jalapeño, although 'baked' involves a ton of cheese; while these fritters avoid cheese but make up for the fat by frying in hot oil! Ideally, you could eat one. (or if you've been good & working out, then two! :P) Since these fritters are stuffed with mashed potatoes, you're left feeling full after just one or two. This is a very basic version. I wouldn't recommend spicing up the stuffing as the jalapeños are spicy.
