Dalgona Coffee




Dalgona coffee is a light, frothy version of coffee that you can top your sweet milk with. It is so flavourful and robust that it awakens your taste buds.

I cannot count how many times I made this coffee in the last few weeks with different variations I think could make it better. We are talking about 7-8 batches of dalgona! But finally, there it was. The perfect recipe for Dalgona. I know you must be thinking, what is she going to do different?
watch.

I even made a few tweaks to the recipe to make it more interesting and yummy!

(Ignore my frothy finger😄)
Ingredients:
for 2 servings:

3 teaspoon of instant coffee
4 teaspoonful sugar
3 teaspoon hot water

Instructions:
1. Assemble the coffee powder, sugar and hot water in a bowl.
2. Using a beater, beat the mixture for about 5-6 minutes or until you see the volume increases and the coffee lightening in colour. If you don't have a beater, you can use a whisk too. It might take a little for time, but totally doable and won't hurt your hand too much.
3. When the froth becomes almost caramel-like in colour, that is your indication of doneness.
4. Pour over a glass of cold/hot milk(add a little sugar because the froth is strong)
5. Enjoy!

Note: if you want a little off-beat variation of it, after the froth is ready, add a teaspoon of cocoa powder. Gives a good kick and there you got your Dalgona Macchiato!

Quick and Easy Soya Manchurian

Soya Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese recipe which is quirky and to be honest, new for me. I hadn't really heard of soya manchurian until my mother told me about it. The only manchurian I have heard about is Gobi manchurian. At first, I was a little sceptical about it because I had never had deep fried soya chunks before. I thought they would take on a rubbery texture and not taste good. But I was surprised when it was still soft and fluffy on the inside while being crispy on the outside. you know what? You could stop right after frying them and even enjoy them as soya nuggets. But go ahead and give the manchurian a chance to shine too, it won't let you down I am sure.   The soya chunks become a little soggy after about 20 minutes, so you have to be quick while making the sauce/gravy. It is a pretty dry dish so I would classify this as a starter rather than a main. Side story: I thought it wouldn't be dry and I could serve it with roti, turned out I couldn't even ...

Summer may not be the best season but mango is surely the best fruit. And what better way to enjoy a mango dessert other than cake? This upside-down mango cake recipe will turn your life around!

Such a summer love thing.  how make mango cake     how to mango cake      how to make mango cake at home   how to make mango cake eggless You can also check out my  Best Ever Chocolate Cake Recipe One of the difficult parts is the caramel. The ratio I find easy to work with is 1:4 for fat: sugar. You can use butter or ghee for your fat. Ghee has a little aftertaste(i realized this later) so butter works well too. Sugar takes time to caramelize, so don't speed up the process. It will only burn your sugar and you will end up with candy or sticky taffy-like situation. Trust me, it took me 3 tries to understand that. It is okay if your...

Khaman Dhokla

Khaman dhokla is a traditional Gujarati dish made with besan or chickpea flour. It is soft, fluffy and is a perfect breakfast or snack. Mildly sweet and tangy, it hits the perfect balanced taste like in most Gujarati dishes. They are gluten-free, so no need to worry about your diet. You can use vegan yoghurt too if you prefer vegan food. Very easy to make and so delicious! I personally love Gujarati cuisine and culture. Vibrant and lively, the state is a hub of shopping, bright lehnga-cholis and mouth-watering food. Right from khaman, khandvi, jalebi-phapda to undiyo, every time I try a new gujju dish, it simply blows my mind!  In this recipe, I will share methods on how to make khaman dhokla by traditional fermenting method as well as the instant method. The only difference between the 2 is that the traditional method needs some time to ferment so it gets a nice tangy flavour, while the instant one might not be as flavourful but still soft and springy.... You need to have some tim...
