Not so Trifle

This is a dessert invented in the event of not to waste food, I have used the Salted Brownies that I made before, I spared some brownies crumbled to try making black forest trifle but I was too busy to go and purchase ingredients for it. So, I whipped up  chocolate butter-cream for this dish and used the balance strawberries I had in my pantry. Let's check how to make this;

Ingredients:

Trifle

2 cups of crumbled brownies

1 cup of chocolate butter-cream

2 whole strawberries 

1 tbsp of cocoa syrup

For Chocolate Butter-Cream

1 cup of unsalted butter (softened)

3 1/2 cups of icing sugar

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

4 tbsp of heavy cream

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1/2 tsp of salt

First of all prepare the butter-cream and set aside, whip the softened butter, gradually sift in icing sugar and cocoa powder and mix for a couple of minutes then add vanilla extract, salt and heavy cream, do not over beat or it will be curdled.

Now for the setting of the trifle, get a few glasses first add crumbled brownies, then spoon the butter -cream and alternate with brownies and butter-cream again. Finally pour some cocoa syrup and garnish with sliced strawberry.

Now our Not So Trifle is ready to be served, do try and let me know how it turned out for you!

Leftover Idli Stir Fried

It is very difficult to throw away leftovers especially when you know the worth of food, so to avoid wasting f I usually prepare very small portion every time I cook. But when it comes to my favourite Idli, I don't mind storing it in fridge for up to two days. Now coming back to today's recipe, I have learnt this from my mom but made some changes by adding sausages to it, mom only add eggs during non-vege days. This is my husband's favourite especially if he wants to eat something simple and quick.

Now let us see how to prepare this quick and yummy dish;

Ingredients;

4 Idlis (cut into small pieces)

2 large eggs beaten

3 sausages (sliced)

1 large onion sliced

2 tbsp of dried shrimp

2 tsp od meat curry powder

3pcs bird eye chilli (sliced)

Salt to taste

2 tbsp of oil

In a pan, heat oil and fry onion then add dried shrimp and sausage fry. Pour the beaten eggs on one side and scramble it not fully cooked, now add chilli stir for a minute then add the idlis. Mix everything evenly then you can add meat curry powder and salt, mix thoroughly so that the salt can be absorbed into idli pieces. Now our Idli Stir Fry is ready to be served. Do try and let me know how was it!
