Microwaved Masala Peanuts

Microwaved Masala Peanuts - Tanushree Aich

Ingredients:
1 cup Groundnuts raw or lightly toasted
1 cup Chickpea flour(Besan)
3/4 tsp Carom seeds(Ajwain)
a pinch of Asafoetida (optional)
1/4 cup Water,approximately
1 tsp Red chili powder
2-3 tbsp Oil
Salt to taste

Method:
In a bowl add ground nuts, chickpea flour, salt, asafoetida, red chili powder and carom seeds and mix everything nicely.

Add oil and water and mix nicely.Do not add water at once, add water slowly so that the batter coats the groundnuts evenly.If needed add 1-2 tbsp more of water but you should not make the batter thin,the ground nuts should hold the batter.

Cut a wax paper(butter paper) to the size of the glass plate in Microwave.
Drop the peanuts into small clusters leaving some space in between them. You should not allow each cluster to have more than 3-4 peanuts otherwise the peanuts would not get cooked evenly and also do not clutter them and do it in small batches. The quantity I mentioned should be done in 2-3 batches based on the size of your microwave.

Microwave it on HIGH for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes and keep an eye after 1 1/2 mins so that they would not burn. Check by tasting 1 cluster(peanut), if you feel it is still raw microwave it again for a minute or two. It might take any time in between 2-4 mins based on the power of microwave.

Remove the wax paper from MW and remove the peanuts from it. Let the peanuts cool completely. Repeat the same process for the rest of the peanuts and microwave them and cool them completely.

Store the peanuts in an air tight container.
I have added some crushed fried curry leaves to the masala peanuts for an extra flavour while storing
Additionally u can sprinkle some chaat masala or amchur powder too

Moist Lemon or Orange Cake

Moist Lemon or Orange Cake - Anitha Shenoy

* THE CAKE BATTER
* 175 g, 3/4 cup softened butter
* 175 ml, 3/4 cup milk
* 290g, 1 1/2 cups regular sugar
* 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
* zest of 1 lemon (or 1 orange)
* juice of 1 lemon (or 1/2 orange)
* 226g, 1 3/4 cups Plain / All purpose flour (sieved)
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* The Syrup: 

(optional but gives the cake an extra hit of orange or lemon)
* 1 Tablespoons regular sugar (you can reduce amount if you don't want it too sweet)
* 1 1/2 tablespoons warm water
* zest of 1 lemon (or 1 orange)
* juice of 1 lemon (or 1/2 orange)

Instructions
1. Heat oven to 160C, Gas 3, 300F. Grease and line your baking tin.
2. ** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, be sure to grease it very well as it can be hard to get the cake out of such a shaped tin.
3. Get all your ingredients ready, i.e zest and juice the lemon / orange, sieve the flour, and add the salt and baking powder to the flour etc.
4. Start with making the cake batter by creaming the butter and sugar until a pale light colour.
5. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the mixer, on a low speed setting, a bit at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle or split, add a spoonful of your sieved flour, keep on adding the eggs, and a bit of flour if necessary, until all the eggs are added.
6. Add half the milk with half of the flour, keeping the mixer on a slow speed. Once combined, add the lemon / orange juice, and zest, the rest of the milk and flour.
7. Transfer the cake mixture to the greased and lined loaf tin. Drop it from a 3 cm height onto the work surface to level it out, then place in the oven for 1hr and 20 minutes. ***** Please note, if using a Bundt tin, cook time is 1 Hour 10 minutes.
8. Have a cup of tea!
9. Now make the syrup by adding all the ingredients to a small saucepan, (or use a bowl and microwave for 1 -2 minutes) heat through until the sugar is dissolved. Put aside.
10. When the cake is done, take it out of the oven and leave in the cake tin until cool. Using a skewer, prick holes all over the top of the cake, pushing the skewer through to the bottom of the cake. Gently pour the syrup mixture all over the surface of the cake, distributing evenly. The liquid will be quickly absorbed by the cake. The syrup will keep the cake moist and also give it a nice glossy shine, with sprinklings of zest on the top. If you think there is too much syrup for your cake, don't use all of it. Often it will depend on the size of your cake, how much it has risen, what size loaf pan you have used. I used a large loaf pan, so needed all the syrup.
