Whole Wheat Eggless Banana and Walnut Muffins | Eggless Baking

I wish bananas lasted as long as apples did.  But they don't.  They insist on ripening, darkening, and mushy-ing faster than they should.  Several times I threw the very ripe bananas that were browned on the outside and too pulpy on the inside to consume.  Then I learned a little late that the ripe, soft bananas are perfect for making Banana Walnut Muffins.

failed attempt: paneer bhurji - what to do?

I have not bought paneer from the store in a long time.  I make paneer at home and prefer so too.  But there are times when in a rush, despite the number of times I have made paneer in last few years, I blow it.

This time I had put the fresh paneer under a heavy container in order to use it for Paneer Bhurji.  We both love it and especially when I buy colorful bell peppers, I love making a colorful Paneer Bhurji.

Poha: Spiced Flattened Rice | Healthy Indian Vegetarian Breakfast Idea

I rarely wake up early enough to cook breakfast.  So it is mostly milk and cereals for Alok and chocolate milk or Ginger-Cardamom Chai with biscuits for me.  But some day if he gets lucky, he gets a breakfast  may be poha, upma, or pancakes, or stuffed paratha.  I wonder when I would get lucky to eat breakfast prepared by him.  Never, perhaps.  But while I keep my hopes high, allow me to share this poha recipe with you.

Potatoes & Peas (Aloo-Mattar) Stuffed Paratha

If you have read up the posts here on blog so far, you must have understood how I like 2-in-1 use of things.  Such as, I have told you how you could use the same stuffing recipe of this Moong Dal Paratha to make Moong Dal Kachori.

I have shown how using the same recipe of Eggless Chocolate Cookies you can replace cocoa powder with desiccated coconut and make Eggless Coconut Cookies.

And I have also given you examples on how you can use Almond & Pistachio Rabdi in not just 2, 3, or 4 but more than 7 ways.

Eggless Chocolate Pudding Recipe | No Bake No Gelatin No Egg

Usually in a plain vanilla cake recipe, when you substitute a certain amount of flour with cocoa powder – you basically get a chocolate cake recipe.  In this pudding, however, we will not substitute but we will add cocoa powder or melted chocolate to our basic vanilla pudding in order to get chocolate pudding.
