Cinnamon coffee cake

-

 A twist to the regular coffee cake with the addition of a tablespoon of flavored smoky cinnamon coffee powder. It turned out swell! Baked after a special request from my daughter.

The lamp is a Brylle/Jacobsen design. It is a self assembly piece from Ikea. The Scandinavian design is simple, yet functional.

 Crackers are savory salty biscuits as opposed to cookies which are sweet. They usually have a sprinkling of dry herbs like rosemary or oregano. It can be eaten as such or with a topping of cheese, jam or peanut butter. The popular Indian brand of crackers is Krackjack. The crackers made by this recipe use wheat flour and not much oil. I tried preparing the crackers with 2 tablespoons of oil instead of the recommended 4 tablespoons and it still turned out crunchy and crispy.

Rava idli is easy to make from a ready to eat mix. The dry mix which contains roasted rava, mustard seeds, lentils and cashews only needs an addition of curd.  For a cup of rava idli mixture, add half a cup of yogurt. Stir and let it sit for a minute. Add another cup of yogurt to it and stir everything together. Let it sit for 5 more minutes. An idli plate contains small depressions the size of an idli and each depression has a few tiny holes. In addition there are bigger holes on the sides of the idli plate. R ub oil lightly on the depressions and spoon the batter in. The oil is added so that the idli can be extracted easily after steaming, without any batter sticking to the plate. Place the idli plate in a water bath. Cover with a lid and turn on the heat to medium for 10 minutes.
