Dark Chocolate & Walnut Wholewheat Cake … a nostalgic favourite with jaggery & ‘top of the milk cream’ or ‘malai’
Dark Chocolate & Walnut Wholewheat Cake … a nostalgic favourite with 'top of the milk cream' or 'malai'. It brings back memories of the quintessential ‘malai’ or ‘top of the milk cream’ cakes from yesteryear. This is my rendition of those good old days!

Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding {eggless}
Rich, sweet, festive yet made with staple pantry ingredients, the Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding is a quintessential Indian dessert, kept light by toasting the bread. Feel free to play around with spices and or/ingredients. The recipe is pretty basic. Use cardamom or star anise, maybe nutmeg for a change in flavour. Skip the condensed milk and use ricotta, mawa/khoya and sugar instead.

Avocado Dark Chocolate Buckwheat Cake #glutenfree
Avacado Dark Chocolate Buckwheat Cake {Gluten Free} is divine. Fudgy fudgy fudgy. Sinfully chocolaty too, this fallen chocolate cake tasted even better the next day. It was fudgier, the chocolate taste was deeper, and it stayed as moist as moist could be. The crumb is delicate because the only flour in here is a gluten free buckwheat flour.

Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies … inspiration in every crumb
For eggless, gluten free baking, these Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies were fabulous! Slightly crumbly, reminiscent of the quintessential Indian nan khatai that we used to bake in our childhood, I found them quite addictive.
