Chocolate Cake (Pressure cooker made)

I am a huge fan of bakery products and love baking. But not having an oven or OTG put me at a disadvantage of not baking at home. A few friends suggested baking using pressure cooker and I tried. It was a huge success!! :) Now, nothing can stop you from baking a cake. Not even an oven/OTG. Follow this simple recipe to make cakes in our pressure cooker!! You can follow any cake recipe and bake it using a pressure cooker.

Wheat Flour                      - ½ cup

Baking powder                  - 2 ½ teaspoon

How to make Chocolates?

Chocolates... Those dark little chocolate pieces, melting in our mouth, giving us instant energy, making us feel good... I simply love chocolates in any form and any flavour from fruit & nut, orange peel, crackles, melted chocolates to even chocolate filled pastries. 

Home-made Chocolate with lots of almonds & pistachios

It was during one of my birthdays (way back in 1990s), I was gifted a dappa (box) of home-made chocolate. They didn't have any particular shape, but tasted divine. I got the recipe from the aunty so that I could make them one day. It wasn't until 2008 before I started making them. The recipe is very simple.

Ristoranti Italiani in Chennai

I am not sure how I came to like Italian cuisine, me being a self-professed fan of this style of cooking and all. But, I simply love it!! As this post's title suggests, its all about Italian Restaurants I have been to in Chennai. The list isn't big as of now, but I intend to make it huge (Concerned person, please note :P). I will also update here if I try any other new restaurant. 

First, is my favourite one, Little Italy - in Nungambakkam. As I write this post, I realise it was exactly an year ago that we had dined there. The menu was so elaborate and we were spoilt for choice.
