Almost Keto Cake

-

Lately, my sister & I have been very cautious about our carbohydrate intake. It may be because of age or lack of balanced diet or just age (Did I say age twice? .. well, it's important you know). We have been trying to look for keto friendly recipes & this cake was a a baked good baked my fluke (Yes fluke.. not a mistake, but a fluke).

Here we had a Keto pancake mix in the pantry which we both did not like much. We wanted to use it somehow & my sister just remembered that when we did not have all purposed flour & it was my son's birthday we actually had baked a cake using regular pancake mix. So may be we could try the same recipe with Keto pancake mix !!!!

I was skeptic to say the least. I mean, Keto pancake mix does not have any gluten in it so I was not sure how the cake will turn out. Also, we had a poor banana going real bad in the fruit basket too which I intended to use.

So... I bit the bullet & made this "Almost" Keto cake. 
Why almost? Because even if I used Keto pancake mix, I did use a banana for flavor & they are not Keto friendly at all. So here goes .. Three Cheers to "Baking by fluke"  !! Hip Hip Hurray !!



What I used
  • 1.5 cups Keto pancake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 baking powder
  • 1 very very ripe banana
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)



Process
  • Set oven to 350 F
  • First mix the wet ingredients
    • Melted Butter
    • Ripe banana (mashed up of course)
    • Eggs
  • Then add in dry ingredients
    • Keto pancake mix
    • Baking soda & Baking powder
  • Give everything a good mix
  • Bake in a lined bread pan or rectangular cake pan for 15mins --> Toothpick test --> Add 5mins until toothpick comes out clean. 
Enjoy with black coffee. SO MUCH GOODNESS !!

Chicken Patra Poda

 Since the last few days, I have been binge watching YouTube videos of some Odiya Vloggers in the US. There are some really entertaining folks who sing & dance & go about their lives while sharing ups & downs with us (their subscribers). Sometimes they get too personal but it's the age of Social Media so I guess that is perfectly fine if the creator is OK with that. These folks that I watch are mostly girls ..Actually they are all girls.. hmm.. time for me to expand the scope a bit?? may be !!.  Anyways, one of the girls, lives in the eastern part of US & has a HUGE Odiya friends circle who meet almost every week for a party or picnic or potluck and she makes these yummy (almost) contemporary style Odiya food recipes that it makes me want to go back to the east coast & make her my sister. Yes, I used to live there & the first chance I got I left because of the harsh winters. I just could not bear the mere thought of getting up at 7am in the morning ...

Gluten Free Almond Flour Mango Cake

 Here's my take on the Gluten Free mango Cake.... There's not a story behind it other than the fact that I am trying to reduce sugar & gluten in my diet due to the health reasons & this cake gave me everything that I need for those late evening sweet cravings without feeling guilty or sad or having to plan extra time on the treadmill the next day.  This cake is made from almond flour so it's on the denser side & not entirely fluffy BUT it is soft & makes for an awesome tea time accompaniment.  Here's what I used... Wet ingredients 1 cup mango puree 3 eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter) Dry ingredients 2.5 cups of Almond flour 2 tsp baking powder Process First mix all the wet ingredients in a clean bowl using a wire whisk Then add in the baking powder & almond flour Mix nicely using a spatula - DO NOT USE Wire whisk  Transfer the contents to a greased 10 inch round cake tin Bake until tooth-pick comes out clean on 325 F for...

Masala Atta Chakuli

"Chakuli" in Odisha comes in mainly three forms: Regular Chakuli - Made with Dosa batter (Rice + Urad Daal) -  Maida Chakuli - Made with Maida a.k.a Refined All-purpose flour And finally Atta chakuli - Made with "Atta" a.k.a Whole wheat flour Atta Chakuli is usually a form of sweet pancake in Odisha. It is a very good breakfast usually made on week days where making roti/paratha is either boring or time consuming. Growing up, I was not a fan of the dish though because it is sweet & as a kid I did not have a sweet tooth. I still don't & I think I am blessed because sugar kills (like literally).  This recipe was a result of three things... - I was sick of eating rice & poha (basically gluten-free) and wanted something different but should have tons of veggies 🍅 🌽 🌶  - I wanted something that is NOT sweet - I did not want to make roti (I am not very good at it & the Rotimatic is resting in the garage) Because of the above mentioned reasons, I sta...
