Gerikiru Boakibaa 1


The first time I heard of this new  form of  boakibaa or cake was while visiting Nadhu's blog. Nadhu is a local entrepreneur, and blogger ( she is doing some video recipes on her blog this Ramadhan. ) Anyway I didn't give it much thought about this particular boakibaa.
It was until my sister in law , brought it up again saying  my brother in law's wife, Shiu,  makes a very delicious  gerikiru boakibaa. So when I visited her place  , I asked her what all the fuss was about. So she gave me her recipe.

 Now the thing is  I never tasted  one ,  so even after making it I was like , is this how its  supposed to look like?  and taste like this? . It did taste pretty good.  So to test it out I made it for a cousin of my hubby ' s  , who is more familiar with this particular cake. Her verdict,  it wasn't supposed to be like that. But I loved the taste and  it was an easy cake to make,  so I decided to post it. Besides  I did follow the recipe and mine looked pretty much like  Shiu's ( yes I know you are reading this ;P) , who later vibered me a photo of her version of this cake(LOL), so I know I was in the track.  I have named this post Gerikiru boakibaa  number 1 , as I want to work on the original recipe and post it some day soon.

Recipe : Gerikiru Boakibaa  or Condensed milk Cake 

1 can sweet condensed milk ( 380g can)
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
50 g margerine or butter

Preheat the oven to   (180 degree celcius).  lightly butter  a  round tin. Line it  with baking paper if you like so its easier to remove..

Soften margerine and mash it up with back of the spoon . Add eggs and whisk well.

Stir in condensed milk and vanilla essence and whisk till mixed.

Sift in flour and baking powder   and mix it well.

Pour into prepared tin and pop in oven for  about 45 minutes  till top is dark golden and risen and a skewer comes out clean.

Cool and turn it onto a cutting board and cut into squares.
Serve

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
