Preparation:-


Take pan and boil some water, to pre-cook the pasta.Keep checking when its cooked but still have a bite to it (al-dente). Strain it from water and put it in cold water.

Now other side heat a pan and pour 1-2 table spoon vegetable oil . Add the garlic first,by doing this oil will get all the flavors of garlic which enhances the taste.
Now add the eggplant,chilies and tomato sauce and crushed pepper into the pan and stir for a atleast 1-2 mins.
Add water to make gravy sufficient for the pasta. Time to add salt,butter and cheese to the gravy and let it cook till the gravy thickens up.

Add the pasta to the gravy once its consistency changes and becomes thick and fold it within the gravy and let it rest for while.

Plate it with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some more cheese.

Thats it!!! pasta è pronta

Red Marble Cake

Hello people!

It's been a long time i haven't posted much dishes , so here it is an easy-pezzy cake recipe.

RED MARBLE CAKE (No-Eggs)

Ingredients:-

2 1/2 cups of Maida /All purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Milk powder 27 gms (sachet)
1 cup Milk
1/2 table spoon baking powder
Drops of Vanilla essence
Red food color(strawberry flavor)

Note:- cup used must be all to measure all the ingredients

Time:- 15-20 mins

Preparation:-

First mix the milk powder with milk in a bowl without any lumps.
Now in a separate bowl take Maida and sugar and mix it with the milk (that we made at first bydissolving milk powder).
Mix it well in cake like batter. Those who know to bake can identify the consistency but for 1st timer's the batter consistency must be like for example:- milkmaid consistency.
You can use milk to liquidify the batter.
Now add vegetable oil and fold the batter properly.
Add baking powder,vanilla essence and mix well.

Now separate some amount of batter in a bowl and add red food color to it, mix well.

Grease the baking case. I have used an old school  baking case used on gas stove. Pour the plain batter(without color) first and then top it with the red batter. Take a fork and run through the batter.

You can bake it in microwave, probably might take 30-40 mins.

For gas stove baking case pre-heat it for 5 mins and bake the cake for 15-20 mins.

Keep checking if the cake is cooked properly , you know the drill take a knife punch into the cake, if it stick not backed yet if comes out clean,,its DONE.

So , there you have the easiest cake ever.
Amazing evening snacks .

My Recommendation:- Enjoy with green tea or black coffee .

Njoy!!!!
