A freak rainfall last week left us cold and clammy. It seems that we are already into winters. Morning Sun is so soothing and beautiful. As the Sun peeps from behind the hills, and the rays infiltrate the thicket of our garden, every form of life begins to throb. Soaked in the warmth of the Sun, our spirits soared, a lot of pending work in the garden saw the light of the day and a lot was accomplished in the early hours of the day. We transplanted Calendula, Pansy and Phlox around Magnolia. Some tiny branches were removed to get light and Sun under the thicket. Kids helped us in ferrying stones to mark the flowerbeds. While we were working, a Myna peered at us curiously for some time and then flew away. Another bird sitting in the higher branches of Magnolia seemed enjoying the enchanting morning. Refilled by the rain, our fish pond looked emerald green and tranquil. Having worked hard, we had our second tea with homemade digestive biscuits. English Digestive Biscuits Recipe adapted from kingarthur's flour.com Ingredients 1½ cups whole wheat flour ½ cup all purpose flour 100 Gms (1 stick) butter 1/2 to ¾ cup powdered sugar (depending on taste) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 pinch salt ¼ cup cold milk Method Pre heat oven to 180 degrees C. Whisk together flours, baking powder and salt. Beat butter and sugar till creamy. Add flours and sugar and mix with hands till the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add milk slowly till the mixture comes together as stiff dough. Knead further for 3 to 4 minutes to get smooth dough. Roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out round biscuits with a cookie cutter of with a cap of a bottle. The biscuits should be 2 to 2 ½ inches in diameter. Prick evenly with a fork or a toothpick. Place biscuits in a greased baking tray and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until pale gold. Cool and store in an airtight container. My notes – These biscuits taste like our atta biscuits. I made two batches. First batch was according to the recipe above. In the second batch, I added 1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour. With this I needed a little more milk than ¼ cup to get smooth dough. You may adjust sugar according to your preference. I added less sugar

Eggless semolina cakes are our favourite. We bake them in different avatars. Low in fat and filling, a slice of semolina cake pairs well with a cup of tea. Hungry kids love to gorge on the big slices. We have baked semolina cakes many times. Version One This cake is our favourite. The crust is a bit hard. When you pour citrusy honey, it becomes soft and flavourful. A pinch of turmeric goes into the batter to give that beautiful golden colour. Orange Semolina Cake (Eggless and Low fat) Drizzled with Citrusy Honey Ingredients 2 cups Semolina 1 cup Yogurt 1 cup fresh Orange juice 1 ¼ cup unrefined cane sugar (boora) 1/3 cup oil 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon turmeric or 1 tablespoon vanilla custard powder (optional, for colour) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup sliced raw pistachios Zest of two oranges Citrusy Honey ½ cup honey and juice of an orange mixed well Instructions In a large bowl, whisk together semolina, salt, and turmeric/custard powder. In another bowl, beat yogurt until smooth. Add sugar, oil and vanilla extract. Add orange juice and zest. Add semolina to yogurt mixture. Stir well, cover and keep for 15 minutes. The batter will thicken a bit. Grease, line, and dust a 9 inch round cake tin. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Add baking powder and baking soda to the batter. Mix well. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle pistachio slices on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top turns golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, cool on the rack. Pour citrusy honey evenly on top with a spoon while the cake is warm. Version Two This cake is special to me. Special because the recipe is mine. Last year when I baked SEMOLINA BANANA CAKE, I forgot to add 2 tablespoons of oil which was a part of the ingredients. I assumed that the cake would not bake well. Quite contrary to my assumptions, the cake came out beautiful. It rose well and tasted great. It was Eggless and fat less cake. Since long I was toying with the idea of baking an orange cake on similar lines. After finalizing my recipe, I baked it yesterday. The cake came out very well. Fragrant and delicious with every grain of semolina becoming juicy and bouncy. To enhance its flavour and to make it moist, I poured honey mixed with orange juice on the cake. It was just out of the world. You have to make it and believe that it is fatless. Orange Semolina Cake (Eggless and Low fat) Drizzled with Citrusy Honey Ingredients 2 cups Semolina 1 cup Yogurt 1 cup fresh Orange juice 1 ¼ cup unrefined cane sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Zest of two oranges Citrusy Honey ½ cup honey and juice of an orange mixed well Instructions Roast semolina on low flame till a pleasant aroma emanates and it begins to change colour. Keep it to get cold. Beat yogurt until smooth. Add sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and zest. Add semolina to wet ingredients and mix well. Keep it for half an hour. The semolina grains will become soft and the mixture will thicken a bit. Grease, line, and dust a 9 inch round cake tin. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C for 15 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder and salt to the mixture and mix well. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes till the cake shrinks from the sides, the top becomes golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven after ten minutes. Invert on the rack and remove the lining carefully. When the cake gets cold, poke the top with a fork or skewer, pour honey and orange juice mixture evenly. My notes: I used store-bought curd. If you are using the curd set at home, start with ¾ cup. Add more if the batter is thick.
