...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ingredients:

Pineapple - 2 slices finely chopped

Milk - 2 cups

Rice Flour - 3 spoons

Cashew; Raisins; Mixed nuts - 1/2 cup

Ghee - 1 spoon

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Method:

This is a very simple Pineapple sweet that I had tried when I was in school after reading in some book. Break the cashews & nuts into small pieces. Roast them along with the raisin in a spoon of ghee. Then bring the milk to boil in a saucepan. Mix the rice floor with 2 spoons of cold milk. Pour the mixture into the boiling milk and add the pineapple slices. When it thickens, add the cashews nuts and raisins. This sweet is good to eat when it is warm as well as refridgerated. When refridgerated, topping it with some vanilla custard or icecream would tingle the tastebuds. Happy Eating

The Sweet Beginning - 5 Cup Cake

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

As always beginning this blog with a sweet note. The first of the recipe is called the 5 cup cake.

Ingredients:

Kadalai Maavu (Besan) - 1 Cup

Milk - 1 Cup

Sugar - 2 Cups

Ghee - 1 Cup

Cashews, nuts and raisins for garnishing

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Method:

Mix all the ingredients leaving aside a bit of ghee and the garnishing ingredients. Use a thick kadai and keep on flame. Keep stirring until the sweet takes the thick consistency. The right consistency would be when the sweet doesnt stick to the kadai. Keep a greased plate with the ghee aside. Pour the misture into the plate. Garnish with nuts and raisins. Using a knife cut the cake into squares or diamonds.

Other variations of the sweet includes the 7 cup cake which is an extra 1 cup sugar and 1 cup scraped coconut.
