Butter Naan – No Yeast

Whenever I go to Indian restaurant and want to have north Indian food, Naan is the first thing that comes to my mind. Cant say no to Buttery naan. I wanted to make naan at home and I am posting a recipe without yeast and eggs.

Add milk, curd, salt, sugar and butter in that. Mix well with finger tips and dont knead hard. Coat the dough with little olive oil and keep aside for 2-3 hours. Better to cover the dough with a damp cloth or kitchen towel. (Can Be kept max upto 7-8 hours). Knead the dough softly and make desired size balls

• Dust the rolling platform generously with flour and roll the dough. Apply water to one side, and place it on the skillet, with the water-applied side on the skillet

Eggless Pancake

We visit IHOP frequently, and always include pancakes in our order. I wanted to try Pancakes at home, when I checked in YouTube, saw the recipe put up by Joy of baking. Usually I do it in that way. Couple of months ago, I wanted to make pancakes for breakfast but I didn’t have eggs. As always lazy me first thought of doing something else, but after thinking for a while, I made some minor changes from the original recipe and was able to prepare soft, spongy, fluffy pancakes without eggs:) Since then, I have been making pancakes without eggs.

Pancake:

Preparation Time : 3 mins | Resting Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves : 2

Recipe Category: Breakfast

Ingredients:

All-purpose flour/Maida – 1 cup

Honey/White Sugar/Brown Sugar – 1 tsp (I used white sugar)

Cinnamon powder – 1/2 tsp

Baking powder – 2 tsp

Milk – 1 cup + 3 tbsp  (I used whole milk)

Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

Olive oil/butter – 1 tbsp (for the batter)

Butter –  1 tbsp (Unsalted,  Melted at room temperature)

Method:

• Combine the dry ingredients and mix slightly. Add milk, butter, water, and vanilla. Whisk together until just combined. Set aside to rest for 10 -15 minutes (I kept for 10 minutes)

• Heat an iron skillet or a non stick pan and allow to heat for 30 to 40 seconds on low to medium heat. Reduce heat to low and pour a large ladle full of batter in the center of pan. Do not spread the batter. Allow it to spread on its own, pour little butter around the edges. Cook the pancake on low medium minute for half a minute or until bubbles appear over the pancake

• When the pancake turns a nice golden shade, flip it over and cook for half a minute and transfer to the serving plate

• Serve warm topped with butter/honey/Maple Syrup/Powdered Sugar/Caramel syrup/butterscotch syrup/Fruit syrup

Mango Mousse (without eggs)

Anything with Mango is delicious. I wanted to make mango smoothie but without eggs/gelatin. Had some heavy whipping cream in fridge, so thought of using that.  I have prepared mousse with eggs before, but this was my first attempt with heavy whipping cream. Happy that it came out good! This mango mousse is super easy. Only four ingredients, no gelatin, no eggs and no cooking needed.
