Potato Pudding






Ingredients

1 large sweet potato peeled and quartered
3 tblsp butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
nuts and raisins

Method

This is a simple and delicious pudding.The speciality is we dont need an oven for this recipe.You may wonder by seeing two colours.Here I made two types of pudding -one by red sweet potatoes and other by white sweet potatoes.Now it's your turn,try this anyone or both.

Do you know what the yummy taste when the milk is combined with the potato.I'm sure you will like it, try this recipe.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes(I use the white sweet potatoes from Indian grocery store) and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash. In a thick bottom vessel boil the milk.To this add sugar and butter.Before boiling add the mashed potatoes.Stire continously.Otherwise it may stick in the bottom.When the mixture is evenly combined, add the beatened egg.Keep stirring till a thick paste is occured.we can add a one tsp of corn starch for the thickening of mixture.Take it out of flame and cool for 20minutes.You can blend this mixture in a blender(here I use my mixy).Pur the smoothe paste in a vessel.Garnish with some nuts and raisins.Chill in a refridgerator and serve.

OrangeMeringue Pie



A pie is a baked food, with a baked shell usually made of pastry dough that covers or completely contains a filling of fruit, meat, fish, vegetables, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredients. Pies can be either "filled", where a dish is covered by pastry and the filling is placed on top of that, "top-crust," where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry/potato mash top before baking, or "two-crust," with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Some pies have only a bottom crust, generally if they have a sweet filling that does not require cooking.These bottom-crust-only pies may be known as tarts or tartlets.Here is a tart pie recipe.
Ingredients
1(9-inch)chocolate pie crust in a deep dish
1/2 cups corn starch
1/4 cups sugar
1 cups milk
3 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
1 Tsp Orange Extract
1Tbsp butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp corn starch
some dry fruits to garnish

Method

Separate the egg whites and yolks into 2 dishes. Lightly beat the egg whites in a dish.Add the milk,1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup corn starch.Heat this mixture in a sauce pan, stirring constantly,bring mixture to boil( about 8 minutes) ,reduce heat and continue stirring for 1 minute until very thick. Remove from heat;stir in orange juice,orange extract until smooth.
Por hot filling into pie crust.
Beat egg whites using a hand mixer at high speed until soft peaks form;gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and 2tsp of corn starch,beating until stiff peaks form about 3 minutes.This is the merigue.Top this mixture in the pie by spooning merigue oer hot pie filling, making sure merigue touches edge of pie crust to seal. Use the back of the spoon to spread equally.

Chocolate-Bread Pudding


Ingrediants

1 loaf of white bread (about 18 slices)
11 ¾ fl oz milk
15 fl oz cream
5 eggs
3 ½ oz sugar
7½ oz chocolate powder
2 oz crushed chocolate pieces
a pinch of salt


Method

Preheat the ovenPreheat the oven to 150ºC (300ºF/ gas mark 2).
Cut the breadUsing the large knife, cut all the bread into quarters and put them into a large bowl.

Make the chocolate sauce.Place the pan on a medium high heat, add the cream and milk and heat. As soon as you begin to see small bubbles on the surface, add the chocolate powder,stire well so that no lumbs,add the salt, stir in and turn off the heat.
Mix the eggs into the sauceTo a bowl, add the eggs and sugar and whisk well to combine. Add a small amount of the hot chocolate sauce and whisk together. Pour this back into the pan and whisk once again.

Strain the saucePlace a sieve over the bowl of bread and strain through the chocolate sauce. Add the chocolate pieces.Being very careful not to break up the bread. Leave to soak for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the bread and chocolate mix into the buttered tin. Spread it evenly and pour over any excess sauce.

BakePlace the tin into the centre of the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes.Check to see if it's done by gently piercing the centre of the loaf with a knife point. If a little chocolate is left on the knife it is ready to remove as we don't want it too dry. Leave to cool.

Remove from the pan, cut into thick chunky slices and serve hot or cold with raspberry sauce, ice cream, toffee or simply on its own.
Here I like it to enjoy with my vanilla ice-cream,whow...
