Falooda
Another chaat party, this time for V-day :) We were determined to try a new dessert and falooda was the instant choice...easy and de-licious! Wish I had a taken a picture, we were in great hurry to just eat it I think!!! Ingredients: Whole milk - enough to fill 1/2 your serving glass Semiya - 1 tbsp Sabza seeds/Basil seeds/Tukmaria - 1 tsp Rose syrup (Rooh Afza) - 3-4 tbsp Vanilla ice cream Soak the sabza seeds in water for about half hour. The seeds initially look like black sesame/kalonji seeds and after they soak they turn light grey in color and pop up and are soft and translucent. These seeds drink up a lot of water so soak 1 tsp in 1 cup of water so it's not a thick mass and you can just strain the water. The final consistency is more like the tapioca seeds in bubble tea but the sabza seeds have a slight crunch to them! On the stove top, bring water to boil and cook the semiya (don't over cook) and when done remove and run it through cold water so it doesn't continue
Eggless "Happy Anniversary" Cake Pops
The idea to make these came from Tania's post for Red Velvet Cake Balls . I did some googling and decided to make cake pops instead and then the long wait, I have been wanting to make these for 6 months now. The New Year kicked in and so did my dieting (ahem!), I certainly knew I was baking this for someone and not devour it all by myself! Finally, I found my perfect occassion - a friend's anniversary. Valentine's Day was around the corner so finding my choice of colors and props was very easy! So, here goes the recipe * Chocolate cake - go for a simple chocolate cake of your choice or even a box mix should work. I stuck to my favortie Vegan Chocolate Cake * Creamcheese icing - you can find my recipe for vegan icing HERE . I added a little bit of pink food color to my icing! * Chocolate – I used Wilton Candy Melts, easily available in Michaels or Joann. I used white color melts. * Lollipop sticks - again these are also available in (wood and plastic) Michaels or Joann * M
