    Step 2: Pour lukewarm milk in the flour mix. Start kneading together and gradually add the lukewarm water a little at a time. You may not need to use all the water, so add it sparingly until your dough comes together and is nice and soft. Knead for a good 10-15 minutes.When the dough becomes smooth and elastic, it is done. (Note: The more you knead the dough, the softer the buns will be).

  • Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake Recipe

    Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake Recipe

    When I begin to think about cakes, the first ingredient that comes to mind is chocolate! And what if your chocolate cake full of chocolate chips, topped with creamy chocolate ganache and dark chocolate? Then, we are talking about one of the most decadent chocolate cakes – Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake. 

    Chocolate in three forms, makes this cake extra chocolaty—and extra delicious.  A chocolate lover’s dream come true!!!

    Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake recipe
    Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake

    Since I began blogging, there are a few fantastic recipes which made me say, “Wooow, I hope I will be able to make something like this some day”. Of course, after a good look and many photos of these desserts, I always gave up not having enough belief in my baking possibilities.

    But, with time, after a lot of experience and time spent in the kitchen, my confidence began to grow. And in time missions in the kitchen that looked impossible were beginning to be solved. So I began to flirt with recipes like Chocolate Mousse CakeBanana Chocolate Loaf Cake  and similar.

    Well, today it was turn for another chocolate masterpiece, Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake. Only one look at the photos of this divine chocolate cake always made me drool. 

    Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake recipe
    Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake

    A heavenly delicious chocolate cake you’ve been dreaming of! So good, every bite is worthy of a celebration! After all, there is never too much chocolate, right?! It’s pure decadence in every single bite!!!

    Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake
    Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake

    I have to admit this cake is not the prettiest cake but with that chocolate ganache and grated dark chocolate on top it dresses it up and makes it look scrumptious.

    You can serve this cake warm without ganache or cold with creamy ganache on top. I can guardsmen that there will be no leftovers of this cake. If you have chocolate lovers around you better stand back because they will run you over just to get a piece of this cake. This chocolate cake is wonderful for birthdays, bake sales, tea parties or any gathering.

    If you are not a true chocoholic then move on. But if you are, then you must try this Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake!!!

    I made the Chocolate Coffee ganache with hot cream, good quality chocolate, butter and coffee extract. The higher the quality of chocolate used, the better the flavor and texture your ganache will have in the end. Coffee and coffee extract enhances the flavor of chocolate. It enhances the chocolate, and brings out the flavors in the chocolate while adding richness to the taste. I love to add coffee to all of my chocolate cakes. Some things are classics.I put chocolate cupcakes in that category. Pillows of rich chocolate cake. Top with chocolate ganache.

    Extra Bonus Tips:

    1. If you would like to add coffee to the recipe, either add 1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee granules along with the sifted dry ingredients, or replace the water with room temperature brewed coffee.
    2. Please make sure that you bake these for 20 minutes and not more. Baking timing is the most crucial thing for any cake recipe. A few minutes over and you’ll have a hard rock in the name of muffin. So keep checking!
    3. And yes..no peeking and opening the oven door for the first 15 minutes at  least.
    4. Cupcakes are best the same day they’re made, but can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    5. Un-frosted cupcakes can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw, still covered, on the counter or overnight in the fridge.

    These cupcakes are plain vanilla flavored (which is very difficult to get right) and are so moist that they’ll actually dissolve in your mouth the minute you take a bite.

  • Karahi Butter Chicken Recipe (Makhni Karahi)

    Karahi Butter Chicken Recipe (Makhni Karahi)

    Assalam-o-Alaikum, how are you? Yep, it’s been almost a month since we met. First things first…I had my mid-term exams, so I was lil busy with studying and the other stuff in my life.
    However this gap between us wasn’t planned. I was hoping to catch up with you in between, but it didn’t work out.

    My celebration “yay, exam is over!”

    Finally exams are over I’m finally free to do whatever I want (blogging, eating yummy food, spending time with my plants)😌
    Anyways, the first thing I wanted to do was to just pop in here & say a quick hi to you. I hope you roll into the weekend in a joyous mood! May your day be as fantastic as you are!

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    To release some exams stress, I made this butter karahi by twisting my Father’s recipe…delicious goodness. Can’t wait to share it with you. He used to make the best food. He was an expert on how to make a really good Butter Chicken. Saying that, I’m not too sure how He would feel about this Karahi Butter Chicken version that I’m currently loving.

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    Name me one thing that doesn’t taste better with a few dollops of cream, a knob or so of butter, a splash of milk, lashings of ghee.

    I’ll bet you’re having a hard time thinking up something. It’s a truth of the culinary world that these things all enhance the eating experience of many foods, sweet and savory foods alike and curries are no exception to this.

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    Take this Karahi Butter Chicken ( Makhni Karahi), for example. I’ve taken the traditional Chicken Karahi dish and made it the way we all love, with the very flavours we all adore and then finished it up with a hearty amount of butter. What does this do? This fills every bite with the very same flavours we desire, along with a moreish, rich bite to it. Every bite tastes like a buttery dream, I tell you. This creamy and velvety gravy will melt in your mouth. 

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    Bismillah, let’s begin!

    Check it out the Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi) recipe and printable version here!!

     Recipe Note’s

    My final words before I give you the recipe – my Father was an expert at Karahi’s and he always told me what with chicken Karahis, you must work fast. Have all the ingredients chopped up beforehand if you can, and cook the entire thing on high heat. Stirring constantly is imperative, otherwise you risk burning the curry or having it stick to the pan. Skimp on half the oil or butter if  you must, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a Karahi dish isn’t truly a Karahi dish without its butter or oil.

    Extra Easy Cupcakes

    I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I’d be bringing you some new basic favorites and I started with a Banana Chocolate Loaf cake. Today, we are talking about these Extra Easy  cupcakes and I’m pumped! One of the things that I’m always messing with is vanilla cake or simple cupcakes. It’s the never ending quest for all the best versions.There are so many ways to vary a Simple cupcake and I want the best of all of them! I’m greedy like that. Plus, I know not every has the same idea of the perfect cupcake, so I like to have options.

    Extra Easy Cupcakes recipe

    So let’s talk a bit about these Extra Easy cupcakes. These cupcakes use butter and are lighter and super moist. We’ve got the usual suspects in this cupcake, starting with the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Easy, common ingredients that you should totally have in your pantry already. Mix ’em all together and set ’em aside.

    Next are the wet ingredients:butter, sugar, milk, vanilla extract and eggs. The butter is the fat component instead of vegetable oil and in my opinion, tends to make a more moist cake that stays moist for longer. Totally true for these cupcakes. The milk  adds to the structure of the cake, in addition to adding moisture. Milk adds fluff and I love some fluff.

    I used a teaspoon of vanilla extract to make sure there’s plenty of delicious vanilla flavor. Then the eggs add more moisture, structure and flavor. I switched it up in these and went with whole eggs instead of egg whites. No more egg yolks getting wasted here!

    Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, the milk is added.

    Nan Khatai is a popular sweet snack which is equally liked by kids as well as elders. I am a huge fan of these nan khatais.  It’s the NanKhatai recipe you would want when you suddenly crave for cookies. 

    Does this recipe rings a bell? Khasta nankhatais from your favorite bakery shop – so what does Khasta mean? Khasta means light and flaky and Nankhatai is referred to as a shortbread or biscuits. This is super easy fail proof recipe that has been tested and tried many times in my kitchen.

    nankhatai2

    Nan Khatai are simple to make if you ask me.Nothing complicated and no fancy ingredients. No baking soda and baking powder added in this recipe. Does this make you walk away from the recipe? Please wait and learn the secret to these khasta nankhatai recipe. Secret to these flaky nankhatai is the amount of ghee/butter that goes in them. No water or milk is added to this recipe.

    nankhatai4

    Bake these goodies for 12- 15 minutes. Depending on the oven, cooking time may vary. Unlike other cookies, nankhatais will not brown up and when taken out of the oven they will still be soft and gooey.

    nankhatai3

    No worries, allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes on the counter and they will become firm. When completely cooled, store in an airtight container and enjoy with your evening tea!!
