Vanilla Milk Cake Delight

"Homemade Happiness: Vanilla Milk Cake with a Dash of Nostalgia

    Today, I am not just bringing a recipe but a slice of my childhood nostalgia with the Vanilla Milk Cake – a moist, soft, and fluffy creation that takes me back to the days of Krishna Bakery adventures with my brother.  

    A Sweet Journey Down the Memory Lane: Growing up, my brother and I had an avid affair with bakery items, and Krishna Bakery, nestled close to our school bus stop, was our go-to haven. Mom's classic question, "Anything you want from the bakery?" always had us gleaming with delight.

    Vegetable Puffs, Butter Biscuits, Salt Biscuits, Honey Cake, Coconut Bun (Dilkush), Animal shaped Biscuit, Mutta Biscuit, Hot Breads, Cream-filled Cornetto Puffs – the choices were endless. But the star of our whimsical bakery adventures was the Tea Cake, the Vanilla flavoured Cake.

Tea Cake or Vanilla Cake? The Beautiful Blend:

    Now, the eternal question – are tea cakes and vanilla cakes different? Well, the Vanilla Milk Cake I'm sharing with you today brings the best of both worlds. It carries the classic sweetness and aroma of vanilla, making it a true vanilla cake indulgence.

    Yet, its charm lies in the way it harmonizes with a cup of tea – a perfect balance of moist, soft, and fluffy goodness. It's not just a recipe; it's a delightful journey, reminiscent of those Krishna Bakery escapades.  

    So, whether you're a tea cake enthusiast or a vanilla cake connoisseur, this creation bridges the gap, offering a slice of nostalgia and a touch of my bakery love. Let's whip up a batch of pure joy with my Vanilla Milk Cake, a tribute to the tea cakes and plain vanilla delights that fuelled my love for baking.

Chef Pillai's Fish Nirvana Recipe: A Kerala-Style Festive Fish Delight

Indulge in the magic of Fish Nirvana

Ingredients:

• 500g thick boneless Kingfish pieces
• 1.5 tablespoons Red Chilli Powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• Juice of a small Lemon
• 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (for marinating)
  
• 3–4 tablespoons Coconut Oil for shallow frying the fish
• 2 sprigs Curry Leaves

For the Coconut Milk Base:

• 2 Banana Leaves, cut in half (4 pieces)
• 3–4 sprigs Curry Leaves
• 8 Green Chillies, slit
  
• 1.5 inch piece of Ginger, minced
• 1 Raw Mango cut into small pieces
  
• 1.5 cups Thick Coconut Milk (first extract)
  
• 2 teaspoons Black Pepper Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 3 teaspoons Coconut oil

Method:

• Wash, clean, and prep the kingfish. Make small gashes on the fish with a sharp knife, so the masalas can penetrate and season the fish throughout. Be gentle and do not cut too deep; these cuts/crevices will hold the masalas later.
• In a plate, add turmeric, red chilli powder, black pepper powder, and salt. Squeeze in the juice of a small lemon.
• Add a tablespoon of coconut oil and mix well to create a thick paste.
• Apply the marinade on the fish, ensuring the masalas are evenly coated. Apply masala in the gashes to ensure even seasoning. Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes/overnight.
• Heat oil in a pan until hot. Gently place the fish in the oil. Add some curry leaves on top of the fish. Do not disturb or move the fish for the first two-three minutes. This ensures that the masalas stick properly and won't separate. Cook the fish for a few minutes on each side.
• Once 3/4 done, remove the fish and leave them aside.
• In the meantime, heat a wide pan or an earthen pan (Curry Chatti) and place a large banana leaf on the pan. Add in the fried fish. Add a few sprigs of curry leaves, slit green chillies, raw mangoes cut into small pieces and minced ginger.
• Pour in the thick coconut milk on the sides of the pan, only on the sides. First-extract of coconut milk is needed for this recipe. If you're in a hurry or a beginner, canned coconut milk works well.
• On the sides of the pan where the coconut milk is simmering, sprinkle black pepper powder. Add a pinch of salt to the sides. Let the fish poach in the sauce for 3–4 minutes over low-medium heat.
• Finally, add a teaspoon of coconut oil for aroma.
• Your amazing Kingfish Nirvana is ready. Serve with Appam, Idiyappam, Parotta, goes well with Kerala Matta Rice.

Indulge in the magic of Fish Nirvana

Notes:

• Fish Variety: While the recipe shines with Pearl Spot, known locally as Karimeen, feel free to explore other fish options. Pomfret, Tilapia, or any firm fish of your choice can be used for a delightful variation.
• Marination Magic: The key to the rich flavour lies in the marination process. Ensure the masalas seep into the fish by making small gashes, allowing the spices to work their magic throughout the dish.
• Banana Leaf Essence: Cooking on banana leaves adds a distinctive aroma to the dish. If fresh banana leaves are unavailable, you can briefly heat them to enhance their fragrance before use.
  
• First-Pressed Coconut Milk: For an authentic taste, opt for first-pressed coconut milk. However, if time is a constraint, high-quality canned coconut milk serves as a convenient and delicious alternative.
• Gentle Cooking: When frying the fish, resist the urge to move it too soon. Let it cook undisturbed for the initial minutes to ensure the masalas adhere and infuse the fish with flavour.
• Presentation Matters: Elevate the visual appeal by serving the Fish Nirvana with traditional accompaniments like Appam, Idiyappam, Parotta, or Kerala Matta Rice. The combination enhances the overall dining experience.
• Festive Flexibility: While perfect for Christmas, this Fish Nirvana recipe is versatile enough to grace your table on any festive occasion. Its rich flavours and coastal charm make it a crowd-pleaser year-round.

Experiment with different fish varieties, and don't hesitate to add your personal flair to make this Fish Nirvana a signature dish in your festive repertoire.  Enjoy the burst of coastal flavours in every bite!

    While I haven't had the chance to explore Japan in person yet, my mind often wanders to the bustling streets of Tokyo. I imagine myself strolling along, and suddenly, an irresistible aroma wafts towards me - it's the alluring scent of Tamago Sando, the ultimate comfort food. But have you ever wondered about the intriguing story behind this delightful eggy sensation? Let's uncover it together!

"Tamago Sando - The Perfect Japanese Egg Sandwich"

A Brief History:

    Tamago Sando, or Japanese Egg Sandwich, is the epitome of simplicity and taste. Its origins date back to the Japanese convenience stores, or "konbini." They're like treasure troves of mouthwatering goodies, and the Tamago Sando is their golden egg. It's proof that culinary magic can happen anywhere, even in a 24/7 convenience store.

    The Japanese have a knack for turning the ordinary into extraordinary, and this fluffy egg sandwich is no exception. It's all about the fluffiest, creamiest, and slightly sweet egg filling, nestled between two slices of perfectly toasted white bread. The result? Pure bliss.

Now, let's get cracking on the recipe!

How to make Tamago Sando- Japanese Egg Mayo Sandwich

"Tamago Sando - The Perfect Japanese Egg Sandwich"

Ingredients:

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Soy Sauce
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 4 slices of fresh, soft White Bread

Method:

• Perfectly Boiled Eggs: Start by boiling your eggs. To get them just right, let them simmer in boiling water for about 10 minutes. After boiling, immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will help you achieve a creamy, not rubbery, texture.
• Secret Sauce Whisking: While the eggs cool down, let's work on that secret sauce. Mix mayonnaise, sugar, soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper in a bowl. Whisk it until it's smooth, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
• Fluff it Up:  Once your eggs are cooled and peeled, mash them up finely. Add the creamy egg clouds to your secret sauce mixture. This is where you create that cloud-like fluffiness. Gentle mixing is the key, so be kind to your eggs.
• Toasting Technique:  Take your slices of bread and toast them to golden perfection. Here's a pro tip: lightly butter the bread before toasting. It adds a lovely richness to your sandwich, and it helps prevent it from becoming overly soggy.

"Tamago Sando - The Perfect Japanese Egg Sandwich"

• Generous Filling:  Spread your delightful egg mixture generously on one slice of bread. Pile it up because, trust me, you won't want to skimp on the filling. It's the heart and soul of Tamago Sando.
• Trim the Crusts:  If you're feeling a tad fancy, you can trim the crusts. It not only makes the sandwich look neater, but also helps you focus on the creamy goodness within.
• Slicing Savvy: Use a sharp knife to slice your sandwich into halves or quarters. A clean, quick cut will give you those beautifully even sections.

"Tamago Sando - The Perfect Japanese Egg Sandwich"

      And there you have it, the Tamago Sando! By following these tips and tricks, your Japanese egg sandwich will be nothing short of egg-squisite.

• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup All-purpose Flour

For the Caramelized Apple Topping:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• Thinly sliced apples (enough to cover the bottom of the baking tin)
• 11/2 teaspoons Cinnamon Powder 

 

Method:

Prepare the Caramelized Apple Topping:

“Upside-Down Caramelized Apple Cake: A Sweet Slice of Heaven!”

• In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1/2 cup of sugar over medium heat. Allow it to melt and caramelize, stirring occasionally. Be cautious; caramel can burn quickly.
• Once the sugar turns a rich golden colour, quickly pour it into the bottom of a greased baking tin. Tilt the tin to ensure the caramel evenly coats the base.
• Arrange thinly sliced apples on top of the caramel layer. 
• Sprinkle Cinnamon powder evenly over it & Set aside.

Prepare the Cake Batter:

• Preheat your oven to 170° Celsius (338 °F).
• In a mixing bowl, add 2 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a stand or electric mixer, whisk the mixture until it becomes thick and pale.

Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Repeat this process thrice to ensure a light and airy cake texture.
• Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture, gently folding them together until well combined.

Prepare the Milk and Butter Mixture:

• In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of milk to a boil. Add 40 grams of butter to the hot milk and stir until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.

Combine Everything:

• Pour the milk and butter mixture into the egg and flour mixture. Stir until you have a smooth and well-combined batter.

Layer and Bake:

• Carefully pour the cake batter over the layer of caramelized sugar and apples in the baking tin.
• Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

“Upside-Down Caramelized Apple Cake: A Sweet Slice of Heaven!”

Final Touch:

“Upside-Down Caramelized Apple Cake: A Sweet Slice of Heaven!”

 

Notes and Tips: 

• Choose the Right Apples: Opt for firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honey crisp for the best flavour and texture in your cake.
• Caramel Caution: Be cautious when working with hot caramel. It can cause burns if it comes into contact with your skin. Use oven mitts or a thick towel when handling the baking tin.
• Even Caramel Coating: Ensure the caramel is evenly distributed across the bottom of the baking tin by gently tilting and swirling the tin after pouring in the caramel.
• Slicing Apples: Thinly slice the apples for the topping, about 1/8-inch thick, for even cooking and an attractive presentation.
• Sifting Flour: Sifting the flour and baking powder multiple times may seem tedious, but it's worth it. It results in a lighter and fluffier cake texture.
• Temperature Accuracy: Use an oven thermometer to verify the accuracy of your oven's temperature. Baking at 170 °C (338 °F) is crucial for achieving the perfect cake texture.
• Don't Rush the Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before attempting to invert it onto a serving plate. This helps the caramel topping to settle.

“Upside-Down Caramelized Apple Cake: A Sweet Slice of Heaven!”

• Serve Warm: This cake is at its best when served warm. The caramel and apples are wonderfully gooey, and the flavours are the most vibrant right out of the oven.
• Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for a quick treat.
• Customize: Get creative with your toppings. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts for extra flavour and texture.

    Remember, baking is a delightful journey, and don't be afraid to experiment and make this recipe your own. Enjoy the process, and savour the delicious results!
