Eggless Red Velvet 'Beet' Cake with Choco Chips

This is a cake that one can have and eat it too. Beetroot puree gives the color and a slightly sweet flavor to the cake. Choco chips of course are a perennial favorite. Eggless made with yogurt and a little ghee. End result is quite tasty and unless told, no one will miss the egg. It is quite spongy too. 

I had organic beet roots in plenty and seeing those pink beauties gave me the idea for this cake. Unlike the puritans out there, I did not sieve the flour 7 times and beat the mix until the hand gave away. I just dumped everything into the regular mixie jar, gave it a few twirls and poured into the pan. It works out fine in the end. Enjoy the cake.

Baked whole wheat (chapati dough) crackers with Hummus dip

Had a little too much of the chapathi dough, rolled it out, sprinkled sesame and nigella seeds, baked for 20 minutes at 200 degrees C on the middle rack of the oven. That is all there to this dish. Hummus is another story altogether. I will post the recipe later and link it here.

Baked Pesto Potato Rounds with home made sour cream

Do not let the picture fool you. The image is not great but the taste is over the top. Cutting the potatoes into perfect wedges takes time. So I just sliced them round to make the job easy. Round or wedge, either way the taste is the same. Baked potatoes with pesto - what is not to like in it. Hung curd flavored with garlic and pepper makes a wonderful dip. Without much ado the recipe follows.
