Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I made this cake a while ago when one of my friends was visiting. He likes this cake a lot and I try to make it every time he comes over. The recipe is simple as it uses a ready made cake mix. I use the Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Pineapple Supreme cake mix but even a regular yellow cake mix should be enough. This is my entry to this month's AFAM-Pineapple event.


Ingredients:

Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Pineapple Supreme cake mix - 1 pk
Water - 1 1/3 cups (Can be substituted with the juice from the pineapple can)
Vegetable Oil - 1/3 cup
Eggs - 3
Maida (All purpose flour) - 1/4 cup (only for high altitude baking)
Butter - 1/2 cup
Brown sugar - 1 cup (firmly packed)
Pineapple slices - 1 can (20 oz)
Red maraschino cherries - as needed (drained and halved)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350F. Place butter in ungreased 13x9 inch pan and keep inside warm over for about 2 min till the butter is completely melted. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly in pan to completely cover the pan. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar and place maraschino cherry halves, cut side up, in center of pineapple slices. You can also keep cherries in the border. Blend dry cake mix, water (juice from the pineaplle can can be substituted for water to increase flavour) , oil and eggs (add flour only for high altitude baking) in a large bowl at low speed (abt 30 sec). Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter evenly over the fruit in the prepared pan. Bake at 350F for about 35-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan and invert onto heat serving resistant serving plate. This cake tastes best when its served warm. A scoop of vanilla or pineapple ice cream can also be added while serving.

Green Blog Project - Summer 2007

Image
Last year when I first read about the Green Blog Project , I was very excited as we had so many veggies growing in our backyard and this was a good event to participate in. I was a month old in the food blogging world and it was one of the first few events that I participated in. I made vegetable fried rice from carrots and beans and tomato thokku from tomatoes grown in my backyard. After sending my entries I was eagerly waiting for the roundup and was amazed at all the other entries. I usually stick to traditional and easy growing veggies. But after looking at the roundup, I was surprised to see so many people growing traditional Indian veggies with such ease. This effort started by InjiPennu has encouraged a lot of food bloggers to grow their own vegetables either be it in small containers/pots or a big backyard. I had totally dismissed the idea of growing anything in winter. When Mandira of Ahaar hosted the GBP winter/spring 2007 event and gave us some very good tips on grow

Arachu vitta sambar, Kovakkai (tindora) varuval, Podalangai (padval) poriyal

Image
I have lots of Indian vegetables stocked in my fridge after my last week's Indian grocery shop visit. I had murungakai (drumsticks), podalangai(padval), kovakkai(tindora) and fresh coconut. So decided to make some very Indian (specifically Tamilian) dishes with those vegetables for dinner last night. When I think of drumsticks the first thing that comes to my mind is Sambar. I was bored of making the regular sambar and hence decided to go with arachu vitta sambar. The main ingredient in this type of sambar is the freshly ground masala and it adds a very unique and different taste. Then decided to do something spicy and dry to go with it and hence a varuval. With the fresh coconut I decided to do some poriyal. So the final menu was arachu vitta murungakkai (drumsticks) sambar, kovakkai (tindora) (ivy gourd) varuval and podalangai (padval) (snake gourd) poriyal. Arachu Vitta Sambar: Ingredients: Thur dal (cooked and mashed) – 1½ cups Drumsticks (cut) – ½ cup Onion (chopped) – 2 Tomat

Adai and pudina chutney

Image
Last night I was in the mood for idli or dosa but did not have the batter ready. The idli/dosa batter usually takes time preparing (6hrs to soak the ingredients and 6 hrs to ferment the ground batter). So I decided to make Adai as it takes about 2hrs to soak, grind, ferment and to prepare. Adai is pretty filling and high in protein as different varieties of dal are used. Adai: Ingredients: Idli rice (can be substituted with any available rice) - 1 cup Whole urad dal - 3/4 cup Channa dal - 3/4 cup Thur dal - 3/4 cup Ginger - 2 inch piece Shredded coconut - 1/4 cup Red chillies - 4 (can be increased for additional spice) Jeera - 2 tsp Curd - 1 tbsp Salt - as needed Method: Soak rice and all dal ingredients together in enough water for 2hrs. If you are in a real hurry 1hr should be enough. Grind all the above ingredients to a dosa batter consistency. It is fine if the mix is a little course. Also if you are using an US bought blender, grind the above in batches as the motor heats up prett
