Considering that it is a dessert, I don’t think it would be possible to make cakes completely healthy, but with some changes to the ingredients and the recipe, cakes can surely be made a lot more healthy as compared to the conventional sugar and butter laden cake.My mother uses the following recipe to bake healthy cakes:Ingredients:Whole wheat flour (atta) [a lot healthier than the all-purpose flour(maida)] - 2 cupsSugar - 1 cupMilk - as per requirementCondensed milk/Dry milk powder - 3 tsp.Vanilla essence (or any other flavor that you prefer) - a few dropsBaking powder - 1 tsp.Baking soda - 1/2 tsp.Ghee/Butter - 1 tsp.Any fruit of your choice (optional)Dry fruits (optional)Method:Mix all the ingredients together. Adjust the quantity of milk to bring the batter to a cake-batter consistency. Bake it in a pre-heated microwave oven at 180° for 25–30 minutes. Alternatively, you can also use a pressure cooker to make the cake by putting in the baking dish in the cooker for 30–40 minutes.This cake is a lot more healthy as compared to conventional cakes and tastes almost the same despite a few tweaks to the ingredients.Hope this helps.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN!!We spend a fortune buying these beauties at KFC. A typical bucket 6 pc costs around 520/- INR. With that much money you can easily make 20 nos at home. So here I am presenting the recipe for KFC Style Crispy Fried Chicken with all the tips and tricks to get the perfect fried chicken every time.METHOD:Brining Stage:Chicken pieces with skin - Big sizesSalt- To TasteBlack pepper - To TasteButtermilk - To soak the pieces in.Clean the chicken well. Pat dry with a towel. Season it well with salt and pepper. Arrange in a bowl. Pour buttermilk so that chicken drowns in it. Mix well. Marinate for 12 hrs in the fridge. Remove from fridge 3o mins before cooking.*This stage is important to get the ultra moist texture of the chicken.Coating Prep Stage:All purpose flour - 1 cupDried oregano - 1/2 tspCayenne Pepper OR Red chilli powder- As per tasteDried Sage - 1/2 tspDried Basil - 1/2 tspMarjoram - 1/2 tspBlack pepper powder - 1/2 tspPaprika - 1/2 tspOnion salt or powder - 1 tspGarlic Powder - 1 tspPowdered Brown Sugar - 1 tspMix well in a plate. Take the chicken out of the marination and do not shake off the excess buttermilk. Roll it over this seasoned flour. Make sure to completely cover the chicken. Rolling helps in creating the crispy bits.Alternate method - Triple DippingIn one medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, paprika and herbs.In a separate bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups flour, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 eggs. Make the batter thin.Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.PREPARATION STAGE:Heat oil to 175 degrees. Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.*At home you can heat the oil just till smoking point and then reduce the heat to medium. The time will depend on the thickness of the pieces.Enjoy your chicken hot with Pepsi or Beer!!ADDITIONAL TIPYou can also store these pieces for later on. After the dipping stage, you can arrange these chicken pieces neatly in a plastic wrap and freeze rather than fry. You can directly put the frozen chicken in hot oil when you want to make some. No need to thaw at all. But keep in mind, only take out the number of pieces you need at a time. If the frozen pieces thaw once then there is no point in freezing them again as they would spoil soon.If you are not able to find individual herbs at the local store, then you can buy the herb mix and use 2–3 tsp as per your taste.Paprika and Cayenne are used to get the real american taste. Indians can use any chilli powder they like. Use it as per your taste.Onion powder and garlic powder can substituted by making a paste of one small onion and 6–7 cloves of garlic and marinating the chicken with the same during the brining stage. Onion powder gives the original taste though.Brown sugar can be substituted by coarsely ground white sugar.BON APPETIT!!!All images sourced from : Google Images
