Black Forest Cupcakes

A year passed away in a wink. And another is just standing in the doorstep to get welcomed with an open arm with lots of dreams and pending jobs to fulfill which remained untouched or unsuccessful this year. This year has seen many ups and downs, face offs and at the same time showered me with some precious friends without whom now life can't even think of breathing. This post is dedicated to that friendship, truly to those friends who are so near to my heart, my OXYGEN.......

And at the same time wish you all Happy New year 2014....

Pinwheel Cookies

Thanks to my daughter that this year to celebrate Christmas I was able to fulfill my dream of making Pinwheel cookies which were pending for so many years into my do to list. Lil K wanted this year to treat Santa with the Pinwheel cookies which she had seen in the picture and loved it. Christmas brings us joy and also a welcoming music to embrace a brand new year. So the whole month of December we pass with a joy of merriment and in a mood of celebration.  The streets, the homes all get lighten up and brighten up with the Christmas decors. The Christmas trees get ornamented from shopping Malls to Home. The kids wait since a long time and cross their fingers to open up their eyes with a bright morning of the day of Christmas to check how many gifts Santa has showered them. This expectation and the ritual have not been changed a bit. From my childhood to my daughters era Santa is welcomed with the Milk and cookies and a list of gifts that is wanted from him. Fest of Christmas brings joy at each individual’s heart which is now widely celebrated all over the world with a gala celebration. Let us now move to the recipe of Pinwheel Cookies.

{Recipe adapted from HERE. I have halved the measurement and it yields to 11-12 cookies}

Ingredients

Butter : 100gm (I have taken 1 tbspoon from it to use it later)

Sugar : 1/2 cup

Egg yolk : 1

Vanilla Essence: 2 tspns

Milk : 2 tbspn ( keep handy for more too)

Flour: 1 & 1/2 cup

Baking Powder : 1/2 tbspn

3 tbspns cocoa powder mixed with 1 tbspn melted butter and 1 tbspn milk..

Method:

1. First make the cocoa powder mixture. Melt 1 tbspn butter in 1 tbspn milk for a few seconds in the microwave.
2. Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and mix well and reserve.
3. Sift the flour together with the baking powder.
4. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add egg yolk  beat well.
6. Add vanilla, then 2 tablespoons milk beating until well mixed.
7. At low speed, gradually add the sifted dry ingredients and mix well. Then increase speed to medium and beat until the dough leaves the side of the bowl. Use your hand and knead in to a nice dough.
8. Divide the dough. Remove about ¾ of the dough and set aside. That portion will be the vanilla dough.
9. To the  other dough add the chocolate mixture and knead nicely. This forms the chocolate dough.
10. On a sheet of waxed paper, roll vanilla dough into a rectangle . Repeat with the chocolate dough in the same manner in to another wax paper.
11. Flip rolled chocolate dough onto vanilla dough and peel off waxed paper. Lightly press the surface with a rolling pin to adhere both the vanilla and chocolate dough.
12. With the short end facing you, roll the dough tightly into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator.
13. After about 30 minutes take the logs out of the refrigerator and roll on the counter to retain the circular shape and prevent one side from flattening.
14. Wrap tightly again in plastic wrap, place in freezer-safe container and freeze for about an hour or store in freezer and bake as needed.
15. When ready to bake, pre-heat oven to 160 decree C.
16. Thaw cookie log just slightly and slice to about ¼ thickness with a sharp knife.
17. Place cookie slices on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
18. Remove cookies from pan and place in cooling rack to cool and then serve.

Note:

Before you slice the cookies putting it in the freezer for at least one hour is a must. Otherwise the the design of the cookies will not come out neat. Please see my cookies. I was in hurry, so I have kept it only 15 mnts in the freezer and got specks of chocolates on the white part.

Egg less Orange and Chocolate Marble Bundt Cake topped with Caramel Sauce

That day when Sayantani of A Homemaker's Diary posted the picture of her Egg less Orange and Chocolate Marble Bundt Cake in a food group, everyone drooled over the picture like anything. I was not able to sleep properly that night as in intervals the sight of the sumptuous cake popping up in front of my eyes. The next day was my SIL's birthday and got a very good reason to hit the cake without wasting any more time. And no need to say when it came out it became so tasty that I myself finished a good big portion of it.  

Before I move to the recipe I would also like to tell my readers that we Kolkata Food Bloggers are having the "Baking Palooza2013" event on our page. So don't miss to visit to get some awesome recipes on baking goodies. Now off to the recipe.

My Second Guest Post - Food Photography

My joy knew no bound when I was approached by Huma to write a guest post for her blog. But when I heard the subject my heart shrank down.  I was requested to write a post on Food Photography. Food Photography is not my cup of tea, as I hardly know anything technically about this field.  But yes, I love clicking and experimenting and I have improved a lot if I compare them with my earlier Food Photographs. So when I shared my confusion with Huma, she said that she loved the way I click and why didn't I share my Food Photography experience with the readers. So I gained some confidence and wrote my experience on Food Photography. So please visit Huma's blog Geza-e Shiriin to READ MORE.

Brownie Bottomed Cheesecake topped with Chocolate Ganach

Cheesecake is one of the most common desserts at my home that my lil one every week demands for. In spite of the exorbitant price of Cream Cheese (the Philadelphia one) I have to indulge in it for my daughter's taste sake. I have so many bookmarked recipes in my folder which offer Cheese cake made out of cottage cheese/ ricotta cheese/ hung card etc, but I am yet to try those. Here somehow the mind got blocked with the assurance that nothing can beat the taste of Philadelphia cream cheese (the only trusted brand available in Kolkata) and the Cheesecake made out of it. This time I had some guests at home and the next day was the last Kolkata Food Blogger's Table meet of this year. So decided to make this dessert on which I got hooked from the new Cook Book gifted by my hubby. I made this in a jiffy along with all the listed dishes that was planned to feast the guests. And no need to say all were too contented after having each dish starting from the starter to the dessert. After coming from the USA I hardly have guest at my home. Most of the time we visit all but don't get much time to invite some and feed rather we take them to the restaurants to save time and energy too. Ah, yes life has become so mechanical here. And that I don't like at all. Due to my work load, the household activities and attending the lil one gobble up all my free times to indulge in this merriment to entertain guest and cook some delicious meal for them. I use to enjoy this so much in my US stay. In every alternate week we used to have party at home and flood of tasty foods. Ah gone were those days. After a long time again I tasted that pleasure to have banquet at home.

The recipe I have followed was from my newly owned copy of The Cookie and Biscuit Bible. In this book over 400 delicious, easy-to-make recipes for brownies, bars, muffins and crackers, showed step-by-step in over 1300 glorious photographs. I have adapted the recipe from the Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie and as usual gave some touch of my own. But when S of A Homemaker's Diary and a KFBian tasted this said the name should be appropriate if we title it Brownie Bottomed Cheesecake topped with Chocolate Ganach. I was so happy when I took some of these pieces for the KFBians at the KFB meet all devoured it and made me so happy. So the name it got Brownie Bottomed Cheesecake topped with Chocolate Ganach…..Should we now proceed to the recipe:

Recipe partially adapted from: The Cookie and Biscuit Bible 

Ingredients:

(I have used a square 6 X 6 baking tin pan)

For the Brownie Base:

Semi Sweet Chocolate: 100gm

Butter: 100gm (I used Amul )

Castor Sugar: 3/4 cup

Eggs: 2

Flour: 1/2 cup 

For the Cheese Cake:

(In the recipe only one block of cream cheese has been used. But I have increased it at 2.)

 Cream Cheese: 2  blocks - each one of 8 oz ( I used Philadelphia)

Eggs: 3

Powdered Sugar: 1 & 1/2 cups

Vanilla essence : 1 tsp 

For the Ganach:

Cream: 200gm (I used Amul tetra Pack)

Grated Dark Chocolate : 1 cup

Note: Everything should be in the room temperature.

Method:

1. First line the baking pan with Aluminum foil nicely. Best trick is to first turn the baking pan upside down. Then take the impression of the pan with foil so that when you will take it out it will itself look like a square container. Then fit that structure in the pan which will get fit easily.

2. Make the cheese cake mixture first. Cream the cream cheese and sugar nicely. Add the essence. Beat. Add the eggs one at a time and then beat in to  smooth batter. Reserve.

3. Then make the brownie base. Melt the butter and the chocolate in a microwave or in a double boiler. When the chocolate gets melted take it off the heat and stir the sugar in it nicely. Let it get cool for a while then add the eggs one at a time and beat nicely. Add flour and fold gently.

4. Pre- heat the oven at 160 degree C. I usually pre- heat my Convection oven or OTG at 200 degree C for 5-8mnts and the at the time of baking put the desired temperature and start baking.

5. Take the baking pan. Pour the brownie mixture first. Then slowly pour the Cream cheese mixture. Bake for 40 to 45 mnts (More or less, pls keep on checking until a knife or toothpick pricked comes out clean) at 160 degree C.

6. Take it out of the heat and cool it.

7. Make the Ganach. Heat a pan and pour the cream. When the cream will become warm add the chocolate. Keep on stirring on a low heat until the chocolate melts and mixes in the cream nicely. Let the sauce make semi thick and then pour it on the cheese cake as a top layer. You cake keep little bit cream aside to make some Latte Art on the top.

8. For best result refrigerate overnight and then serve.

Product Review: Just Eat - Order Online

‘One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to EATING.’

Why I agreed to review this site - The question may arise mainly when I will share that this service is not provided in Kolkata. Then Why? Ok.. May be this will not help my friends/ readers who reside in Kolkata but to all my friends/ readers who are residing all over India. I only convinced my mind to do this review after getting the positive feedback about this site from my friends and family who live in Mumbai and Pune. They are too satisfied with the services provided by Just Eat.  A hope also clanged in my mind that very soon may Kolkata also will be blessed with this India's largest online food ordering portal and table reservation website.

The punch line of Just Eat may give one the idea how it exactly works - "One Click and You Can JUST EAT" .. A few years back also it was beyond our imagination that while sitting at home with one click we can have a full fat meal at our dinner table without wasting much energy or time. Yes now we are living to that era where the advanced technology has made our lifestyle so easy that time management sounds like a boon when we have such kind of online service providers. 

How it will work:

Here’s what all you can be assured of if you decide to order from JustEat:

·  Choice, choice and more choice: 

  Yes, it can be Mughlai today, Chinese tomorrow and Mexican the next day, with a few pastries thrown in for your dessert. Such is the choice available in India’s largest online food ordering portal. For instance, if you’re looking to OrderFood Online in Delhi, you’ll have close to a thousand restaurants to choose from!

·   Order today, for next weekend’s dinner: 

   Have a circle of close friends coming over to dinner next weekend and every person has a different choice of cuisine? No issues, and neither is there a need to plan elaborately in advance. Just log on and place an advance order with JustEat, specifying the date and time you want the delivery boy to come knocking at your door. It’ll take hardly two minutes for the entire process (provided you don’t lose your way in the maze of over 3 lakh dishes to choose from…!)

·   Attractive discounts on online payments: 

   More often than not, there is some or the other big discount going on with the online payment restaurants listed with JustEat.in. A whopping 30% off on your favourite Chicken Manchurian sure enhances the taste of the dish, doesn't it?!

·         

   Constant updates once you sign up: 

   You’ll sure get to know what is the hottest deal available once you sign up with these guys, they’ll keep you posted so that you don’t miss out on anything.

As if this was not enough, there are also online food ordering apps to choose from, which work as smoothly as the website itself. 

Let’s look at it this way: you live in Mumbai and want to get Home Delivery in Mumbai, while driving back home from office. You decide not to cook for the day and wish to just throw off your shoes once you reach home, and relax. It’s here that the apps will be super-convenient for you and you’ll get your favourite food right on time.

Just Eat being India's largest online food ordering portal and table reservation website, has headquartered in Bangalore and with branches in Delhi, Mumbai, plus a host of smaller cities and expanding rapidly. Thier reliable one-click ordering system has greatly simplified the entire process of ordering food online. With over 2500 restaurants, 52 cuisines and 3 lakh dishes to choose from,that have made their mark as the most preferred way to beat hunger, with over 3.5 lakh registered users spanning all across India. Plus, they have recently launched their new online food ordering apps on Android, iPhone and Windows 8 platforms, complete with the option of online payment for food orders placed online through the app (www.justeat.in/mobile). Their parent company is headquartered in the UK, with a presence in 12 other countries apart from India. 

True, that. And especially when you don’t have to cook, it’s like the icing on the cake. Otherwise what happens is you generally tend to spend a majority of the time between meals preparing for the next meal itself – half the time cooking, and the other half trying to make up your mind on what to cook! As I mentioned in my last post itself, my target always is to spend the least time possible in the kitchen.

Imagine you had all this time to yourself, to do what you like, but still got to eat your favourite fare. Finding it hard to believe? Just go visit JUST EAT and then let me know if it’s possible or not to order your food online in a jiffy.

Order food ‘online’ – therein lies the key. Be it the latest designer apparel, your favourite chick-lit novel or even that wall clock you've put up in your living room – everything is available online today. And now of course, food as well.

Chocolate Mousse in Chocolate Shell

I am falling in love with my late night chocolate cravings. Because of this craving I always come up with something creative that I have never made in my life. Ah not talking about the mousse, that I have made several times but a couple of days before what I made, I am talking about that - the Chocolate Mousse in Chocolate Shell. If someone says Chocolate making is one of the easiest jobs, I might partially support it. But when it comes to perfection and texture it is one of the toughest job I must say. And look matters a lot, as that gives us the first impression and then of course the taste. My mousse recipe differs from the other mousse recipes. I am always a lazy person mainly when it comes to cooking. My target always is to spend the less time in the kitchen. So this recipe is always one of the shortcut versions to get your mousse ready without wasting much time….:P OK!!! Lets move to the recipe then….

Ingredients:
(Yeilds 3 ramekins size)

For the shell-

Dark chocolate - 3/4 cup ( Grated, more or less)

White Chocolate- 1/4 cup

For  the Mousse-

Amul cream- 200 gm (Tetra Pack)

Eggs - 2

Milk Chocolate - 1 cup (Grated)

Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tspn (Sweet orange also works great)

Powdered Sugar - Optional

Method:

Make the Shells:

1. Take three dome shaped small bowl, smaller than a soup bowl, same like a dessert bowl.
2. Melt the white chocolate and pour it in a piping bag. Made some designs as per your choice. Put it in the freezer for few minutes.
3. Melt the Dark chocolate. Divide it in to three portion. Cool it down a bit. Then take one bowl pour the chocolate in the bowl and immediately with circular motion spread the chocolate all over the body of the bowl. It will tend to get hard immediately as the bowl will be cold. You can use your fingers too to spread the chocolate. Use the same procedure for the other two too. Chill it until the Mousse gets ready.

Make the Mousse:

1. Take a double boiler. Take the container in which you will make the mousse.
2. Add the eggs one by one and then beat it nice and fluffy. I used a normal hand beater. Add the cream then.
3. Melt the Chocolate in a separated container.
4. Heat the egg and cream mixture on a double boiler and continuously keep on stirring. When the cream will get hot add the melted chocolate. Never stop stirring, otherwise the eggs will form  lumpy in any time.
5. Add the essence and cook until the mixture gets thicken.
6. Take it off the heat and cool it.
7. Now take out the bowls from the fridge on which you have moulded the shell. Before demoulding put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes. Then with a very slow tap demould them. And again put them in the bowl.
8. Pour the mousse on each shell/bowl. Chilll and then before serving demould them (Place the serving dish on the top then flip it) and serve them with a fruit top or some chocolate sauce. For best result, chill it over night to set.

Note:

1. This mousse will taste like more dense and creamy. If you want the airy and fluffy taste then please add whipped cream with it.
2. Mousse in mainly gets folded with the whipped cream and egg white. But I am a bit skeptical in using raw eggs. So I make it in this way.
3. I didn't use any sugar here. As my family's taste bud is towards the lesser sweeter side. So one can  always add sugar to adjust the sweetness.

Restaurant Review: Bohemian, Kolkata

Location:  

32/4, Old Ballygunge 1st Lane, Ballygunge, Kolkata

Contact : 033 66064206 ext:127

Cuisine: Bengali, Italian

Hours: 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, 7 PM to 11 PM

Rating: 4/5

Pocket Pinch: 1500 for two people (approx + Tax.)  

If you take the lane just by Chinese Pavilion (known as Bondel Road) on Ballygaunge Phari, come straight and hit on to a small temple, take sharp left and just a minute's distance you will see the small cosy restaurant called Bohemian on the right hand side. This month our Kolkata Food Bloggers' Table meet was destined to Bohemian. We all heard a lot about this one and all good words and praises about the quality of tasty food they serve. So we came here to judge our luck, taste and to review. At first glance the restaurant reminded me the bistros of USA/UK. I was the first one who came a bit before time. We had prior reservation so after entering the attainder directed to our reserved table. We were supposed be 6 but only 4 were able to make it. When we all settled down there was nobody and we were sharing jokes about the reservation et al. But after half n hour we realised how important it was to reserve ones table before. It got too crowded within an hour. The restaurant is very cosy and small allocating 7-8 tables. I loved the hanging exhibition of picture postcards adorning the window panes, the backdrop fountain  with some creepers pouring down behind a huge glass framing and giving the shadow effect of the rippling water. All the wooden table and chairs were decked up methodically with some colourful mix-matched gypsy cushions.

Coolers

Without wasting much time we all four dug in to the Menu Card and placed our first order some coolers for us. Magic Potion @ 139/- (Fruity combination of Pineapple, Mango, Strawberry, orange and Ginger ale), Bloody January @149/- (A chilling combination of tomato juice, red pepper, green chilli and celery salt) and 2 Gondhoraj Julep, each @149/- ( A cranky mix of Gondhoraj Lime, Coriander leaves and lemonade) were served promptly after our order. We four thoroughly enjoyed sipping the refreshing drinks pairing the starter and main course accompanies we ordered for, though A and M said that the corianders in the Gondhoraj Julep were a bit generously given to relish. 

Starter

For starter we went for PaNchphoron flavoured Chicken Escallops and Vodka Soaked Prawns with Grilled Garlic Aioli. Both the dishes were so sumptuous that we finished them in a minute devouring each taste wholeheartedly. The  PaNchphoron flavoured Chicken Escallops was perfectly made. It comes six in a plate, costs 299/- . Each piece enhanced with a mellow flavour of paNchphoron, incorporating with the chicken with a perfect balanced taste that left in the mouth to crave for the second bite immediately. The Vodka Soaked Prawns with Grilled Garlic Aioli was the another starter that we blithely enjoyed. It comes in six separate skewers and costs 399/-. M was allergic towards Prawns so rest of us happily shared her portion. No need not to say that this one too finished in minute and we were lusting for more. The flavour and the taste were so perfectly blended that each bite made to too sumptuous and delicious. 

Bacon wrapped chicken supreme bundles with Aam Kasundi Reduction (comes with rice and boiled veggies)

The main course is served as a single dish. They call it Combos that means it comes with rice and a veggie along with main side dish. So we order 4 separate combos for each one of us. But then realised that 1 combo can be easily divided in to 2, though the rice will be little less for 2 portions.  We all share and tasted each other's ordered dish. Bacon wrapped chicken supreme bundles with Aam Kasundi Reduction, @ 399/- was served along with steamed rice and tossed vegetables. It was delectably made. And I loved the smoky bacon flavour while having each bite with chicken and the aam kasundi gravy.

Bacon Baked Tilapia with Ginger and Fennel (comes with green rice and boiled veggies)

Bacon Baked Tilapia with Ginger and Fennel @399/-, I really liked the dish how the flavour of the Fennel incorporated with dish. A very mild but balanced, the dish really won our heart. They have served the dish with tossed vegetables and coriander buttered rice. The combo altogether blended together justly. 

Royal Bengal Roast Mutton with Bhuna Sauce

Royal Bengal Roast Mutton with Bhuna Sauce @ 469/- was served along with tossed vegetables and rolls with mashed potato. We all enjoyed this taste too. But as I have tasted so much the other food I hardly remember the exact taste of the dish.

Spicy Pork Curry (Anglo-Indian Spices) (comes with rice and boiled veggies)

I ordered for Spicy Pork Curry (Anglo-Indian Spices) - 429/-, though A helped me to select the dish. I was little scared of getting the wild smell from the pork. But to my surprise we didn't get any and above all it was so soft and too tasty. I wanted to finish the whole bowl. But was so full by then have to control myself. This one is also served with steamed rice and wilted greens (I didn't like it though that much).

Gondhoraj Soufflé

Last but not the least now came the turn for the dessert. We were all full and happy souls. There was no space for dessert at all. But it was A's demand that we should at least taste one dish from the tempting dessert spread written in the menu card. So we had Gondhoraj Soufflé @ 219/- on our table. We all attacted the dish and finished it in no time. The rind of Gondhoraj lemon was the main flavour in it. Nice and soft but more like a mousse.

We enjoyed each and every bite from Bohemian. And yes I will visit this place again. What I like most is the unique combination of the Bengali spices with each dish that makes it not also tasty but exotic too. Chef Joy has definitely took the Bengali cusine in to that extend where we can think of experimenting with the famous Bengali spices. And last but the not least I should not forget to mention the homemade chocolates M brought for us. That is so sweet of her as it was her first meet.....
