Orange Chiffon Cake

Ingredients:

    Egg white- 7
    Egg yolk- 6
    Cake flour- 2 & 1/4 cup (225 gm)
    Sugar- 1 & 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup
    Baking powder- 1 Tbs
    Oil- 1/2 cup
    Salt- 1/2 ts
    Orange zest- 1 Tbs
    Orange juice - 3/4 cup (better to use freshly squeezed juice from orange)
    Cream of tartar- 1/2 ts (optional)
    Confectioners sugar (powdered or icing) - To dust on the top of cake (optional)

Procedure:

   1 Separate the eggs placing the egg yolks in one bowl and the whites in another. Add the extra whites in the bowl where whites are placed. Cover both the bowl and keep aside to bring them to room temperature.
   2 Have ready a 10 inch (25 cm) two piece tube pan and do not grease it.
   3 Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F or 170 degrees C.
   4 Place the flour, 1 & 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in a big bowl and beat with the electric mixture in low speed just until all things are combined. Then make a well in the center of the flour mixture, add the egg yolks, oil and orange juice; and beat until smooth batter forms.
   5 Now take the bowl where you kept your egg white  (remember the bowl should be big enough to hold the foam. Because after you beat the egg white it will rise double in size.) and whisk it with the electric mixer. In the middle of beating add the cream of tartar and 1/4 cup sugar and continue to beat until stiff picks form.
   6 Then with a large rubber spatula or wire whisk, gently fold the egg whites (in three additions) into the batter just until blended (do not over mix otherwise the batter may be deflate). Pour the batter into the un-greased tube pan and place on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
   7 Bake it for about 55 to 60 minutes. For better result start to check your cake after 40 minutes with a toothpick or a wooden skewer. Insert the toothpick or the wooden skewer into the center of the cake, if it comes out clean then your cake is done. (When lightly pressed, the cake will spring back).
   8 When the cake is done take it out immediately from the oven, invert (turn upside down) the pan and place on a bottle or flat surface so it is suspended over the counter. Let the cake cool completely (about 1 - 1 1/2 hours) before removing from pan.
   9 When the cake is completely cool, run a long metal spatula around the inside of the tube pan and center core to remove it from the pan. Invert it onto a lightly greased plate. Dust the top with confectioners sugar (powdered or icing).
  10  Serve with softly whipped cream or ice cream and fresh fruit.

Dugh khejur




Ingredients:


    1.1 cup all purpose flour

    2.1 cup Milk

    3.1 beaten egg

    4.2 table spoon of breadcrumbs

    5. Pinch of salt

    6. 1½ tablespoon Ghee/ oil

    7.Oil for frying

For Sugar Syrup:
   1. 1 and 1/2 cup sugar

   2. 2 cup water

  3.  1 piece cinnamon, about 2”

  4. 3 green cardamoms

Thick Milk:

   1.1 cup milk

   2.1/4 th cup of powder milk

Procedure:


   1.  Make thin sugar syrup with sugar, water, cinnamon and cardamom. Set aside.

   2.   Boil milk. Add a pinch of salt, and flour and mix. Form dough like dough for roti or chapatti.
         Transfer the dough to a bowl. Knead well.

   3.   Add the ghee or oil.When the dough cools a bit add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Knead              well. You may find it difficult to incorporate everything smoothly but keep kneading. You  may         need to add some extra breadcrumb to work comfortably with the dough.
        The kneading part is very important. The smoother and glossy dough you can make by                     kneading, the softer pitha you will get after soaking in the syrup.

  4.  Now make round balls and shape them .

  5.   Heat enough oil in a pot so pithas can be deep-fried. Now, the frying part is very important. If      not fried well, the pithas will remain hard, especially in the center, even in the sugar syrup. The oil            must be heated on medium low flame and it must not be too hot. Too hot oil will make the pithas        get   the outer color fast but leaving the center raw. The oil must not be cold either. Carefully,              heat oil on medium low heat and fry the pithas well until dark golden brown.
     Transfer the pithas into lukewarm sugar syrup and soak them for at least 4/5 hours. If soaked              well,  the pithas will be soft like laalmohon . If fried well the pithas will soak  almost  all the  syrup in not more than half and hour and will be very soft . But it’s better to soak them for   a   longer time .
     Now aftr the pithas soaked and absorbed good amount of sugar syrup add very thick milk over the   pithas on to the sugar syrup . If you think there are a large quantity of sygar syrup remained ,         then take out some of the sugar syrup then add the slightly warm milk .
