easy Fruit trifle recipe - A glorious dessert for Any occasion

Image
Enjoy making this beautiful Fruit Trifle, adding extra colour to any occasion! The glorious appearance of this beautiful dessert and its addictive taste is indeed a true winner! The usual traditional English Trifle has a generous amount of whipped cream, which I deliberately avoided and added custard cream instead. This, in turn, gave this dessert a lighter texture so that you won’t feel too heavy after tucking into it! The joy of tossing any fruit comes in the season is the best thing about this dessert. I always opt for mangoes, pineapples, apples, banana, grapes, oranges and many other choice of fruit available at the green-grocer. Also, make the sponge cake, Jelly in two colours and the custard cream, on the previous day to make the whole process easier. The recipe for the sponge cake is given below, which is the best choice for this pudding. Do not use the usual butter cake/pound cake/fruit cake even if you are tempted because they tend to crumble and spoil t...

Trust me, the delicious spicy taste will make you feel instantly warm and happy. You can serve this delicious chicken curry with anything. My favourite is warm, crusty homebaked fluffy bread! Moping a chunk of spongy bread in the silky gravy and savouring the taste nice and slowly is the height of satisfaction of eating beautiful chicken curry.

Undu Walalu recipe /Pani Walalu "Golden Bangles" - Sri Lankan New Year sweets

Image
Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka welcome this most prominent cultural festival known as Aluth Awurudda or New Year on the 14th of April annually. It is also known as the Sun festival, based on the astrological point of view that, Sun’s journey from the House of Pieces to the House of Aries is completed on this day. The whole country gets together to celebrate this occasion on a grand scale by making many traditional sweetmeats, dressing up in traditional costumes, and playing traditional games. These gold bangles are a very popular sweet during this time and I am thankful to my mum for passing this recipe on to me as I am now quite confident in making them myself. I believe this is the easiest and the yummiest sweet that you can rustle up just before New Year’s Day. I am sure everybody will love to indulge in these, gladly forgetting their diet plans! So let’s make them and pass them around to spread happiness and goodwill. Ingredients needed; Undu seeds /Urind whole (white) 1 cup R...
