    If you’re a cupcake making newbie, then this is the perfect starter recipe.  Simple and oh-so-delicious, these Extra Easy cupcakes make a lovely.You can change the ingredients of these easy cupcakes to match the occasion.

    Extra Easy Cupcakes recipe
    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
    Extra Easy Cupcakes

    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.

    There’s so much moisture in these cupcakes! I love them! I’m a big, big fan of their ease of making, their flavor and moisture. They use such simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry too – score!

  • Homemade Goodness: Easy Mince Pizza Recipe (Better Than Takeout!)

     

    Goodbye to restaurant style pizzas, I really mean it…I can’t tell you how often I get asked to make pizza at home.

    Quick and Easy Mince Pizza

     

    Quick and Easy Mince Pizza
    Quick and Easy Mince Pizza

    I made this pizza last night for a quick dinner. I had been roaming around with the recipe for making the perfect pizza for so long and the thought of topping the pizza crust with minced triggered me last night all of a sudden. I had no other choice but to execute my idea.
    When it came to top the pizza crust, I went a little overboard and made ground chicken sauce.Topped the crust with the ground chicken and then with veggies, olives generously sprinkled mozzarella cheese and herbs and baked it in the oven for 30 minutes. For the entire 30 minutes, I literally peeped into the oven window and enjoyed the amazing show of crust puffing up, ground chicken getting browned and the cheese getting melted, what a divine pleasure it was!!!
    Each step I did with so much passion and waited so eagerly to have a bite of this pizza. As the pizza came out perfectly baked with a soft crust and the mince topping on it along with the melted golden cheese on it, the mere sight of it made me go wild. I screamed out of joy and I burned my tongue out of greed!

    Channa Pulao is always my favorite.I have made it many times but this time I wanted to try it with Potatoes ( My fav veggie) and it came so good.

    I do remember my khala (anty) who would make fabulous chana pulao along with potatoes. Well, while making this aloo chana pulao recipe and writing this post i do remember the aroma and taste still lingering in my mind of her pulao. Her dishes was always cooked to perfection and the taste of the pulao was just heavenly.

    Though I make chana biryani often this [highlight]chana pulao[/highlight] is always my quick fix whenever I am pressed for time. Do try this Aloo Channa Pulao recipe. I had it Korma, mint raita and salad.It was a satisfying lunch.

    Aloo Channa Pulao Recipe
    Photo: Aloo Channa Pulao Recipe

    Note’s:

    1. For the chana pulao obviously you have to first cook the [highlight]chickpeas(kabuli channa)[/highlight].
    2. if you have leftover boiled chickpeas than these too can be added.
    3. The pulao has to be made with basmati rice and desi ghee or else something will be a little amiss if you do not use basmati rice and ghee. This is pretty easy pulao, great to put in your kids lunch box. If you pre cook the chana the previous day itself, then you don’t have to worry about anything. It can be made in minutes.
    4. If you are diet conscious you can add olive or sesame oil.

    This could be also quick fix for lunch box for office going people or students, since less cutting work. You can pack this with cucumber or vegetable raita.
