Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chunks Muffins
Friday, May 16, 2014
As i told earlier,being a member of Baking Partners we get three different recipes for our every months challenge, obviously we can bake anything from those three recipes, i have already posted an incredible Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcake with orange cheese cream frosting suggested by Priya. Coming to this fabulous looking muffins, it was suggested by Reshmi of Easy Cook from Joy of Baking. Actually this muffins goes for all purpose flour,chocolate chips but i went for whole wheat flour and finely chopped dark chocolate bar.
These muffins came out extremely soft and quite addictive, chocolate chunks in this muffins brings a wonderful texture while having this muffins and obviously all the spice powder used in this muffins completely masked the smell of the pumpkin puree. I prepared my pumpkin puree myself, by cooking them in boiling water and pureed once they get cooled without any water. You can also use canned pumpkin puree for making this muffins, definitely you guys have to try this muffins atleast once.
2cups Whole wheat flour
1/2tsp Baking soda
1tsp Baking powder
1tsp Cinnamon powder
1/4tsp Ginger powder
1/4tsp Cloves powder
1/4tsp Nutmeg powder
1/2tsp Salt
1/2cup Butter (room temperature)
1cup Sugar
2nos Large eggs
3/4cup Pumpkin puree
1tsp Vanilla extract
1cup Finely chopped dark chocolate chunks
Preheat the oven to 350F, line the muffin cups with paper liners and keep aside.
Sift the flour,baking soda,baking powder, spice powders and salt and keep aside.
In an another bowl,beat the butter and sugar together until they turns fluffy, add the eggs one at a time and beat well.
Beat in the vanilla extract,pumpkin puree. Fold in the flour mixture,chocolate chunks gently and mix with a spatula,dont overmix.
Fill the muffin cups with this batter, bake in middle rack for 20minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Cool completely and enjoy with a cup of coffee.

Instant Wheat Dosa
Saturday, April 26, 2014
Instant dosas or idlies are really handy and definitely saves us when we run out of the Idly batter. For this weeks blogging marathon i chosed instant dosas or idlies as theme and the next two days are going to be healthy, quick and instant versions of dosas and idlies. Coming to todays recipe, its definitely a quick and very healthy dosas we prepare quite often simply with wheat flour and rice flour. This dosa makes a super filling dinner or breakfast if you serves them with a simple chutney or sambhar. Personally wheat dosas are my favourite, since am yet to post this instant dosas in my space, i prepared them few days back for my lunch and enjoyed with some tomato sambhar.
My H and kids dont like these kind instant dosas or idlies that much,but who cares ill make them specially for me.Earlier i insisted them to take these healthy foods, but it never worked with them. Obviously if i want to feed them with wheat flour in dosas, ill add some flour in the sour dosa batter and makes wheat uthappams with loads of onions.This way they will eat without any fuss. However when i chosed this theme for this week, i know am gonna have feast with my favourite instant idlies and dosas.

1cup Wheat flour
1/4cup Rice flour
1cup Whisked curd or water
Salt
Oil
Take the wheat flour,rice flour and curd in a bowl.
Whisk them well, add the salt and keep aside for 5 minutes.
Heat a non stick pan, grease the pan with oil using a paper towel.
Now pour a spoonful of batter and turn the pan in clockwise to make thin circle..
Drizzle few drops of oil around and flip the other side and cook well.
Serve this healthy dosas with any sort of spicy chutneys or sambhar..
Notes:
If you want to add spices like cumin seeds and black peppercorns,you can add them while making the batter.
Some may add onion and green chillies, if you want you can add them too.

Instant Redrice Flakes Wheat Rava Idli
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
After a simple and easy breezy wheat dosa, here comes an another interesting and a diabetic friendly instant version of idli i prepared simply with red rice flakes and wheat rava. Trust me this instant idlies are just fabulous, they are extremely quick to prepare too. With a spicy coconut chutney, am sure this idli will definitely satisfy anyones tastebuds. Since i chosed instant dosas or idlies for this weeks blogging marathon, i cooked this gorgeous looking delicious, healthy idlies before few days for my dinner.
You may wonder how this idly will be in taste and texture, i didnt find my difference between the usual instant wheat rava idlies we do quite often but tastewise red rice flakes gives a wonderful taste and these idlies are extremely fragile.As am having hard time with day light now, i removed the warm idlies from the cooker to take this picture, that y my idlies looks bit crumbly, but trust me once they gets well cool they are pect in shape.If you want to make a different instant idlies, am sure this idlies is a must to give a try.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.
