ULTIMATE EGGLESS WAFFLES WITH CARAMELIZED BANANAS AND VANILLA ICE CREAM.

I've been researching for the past few weeks for an eggless waffle recipe, that doesn't show any difference between the egg and eggless. We can't deny the fact that eggs give a richer flavour to the waffles but you can't tell the difference when you have these. Any eggless desserts will have a sort of bland white colour, but not in this. The secret is to add custard powder, as it has cornflour, vanilla flavour and when cooked it gives you a beautiful golden brown colour and its crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, combined with buttery caramelised bananas, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce gives an ultimate indulgence!!

INGREDIENTS:
Waffle Batter
All purpose flour- 3 cups
Vanilla custard powder- 2tbsp heaped
Melted butter- 1/3 cup
Buttermilk-2 cups
Water - 3/4 cup
Vanilla extract- 2 tsp
Sugar 1/3 cup
Salt a pinch
Baking powder -4 tsp
Baking soda- 1tsp

Caramelised Bananas
Sugar-1/2 cup
Butter -2tsp
Bananas-4 med

For Topping
Vanilla ice cream- 500ml tub
Chocolate sauce- 1/2 cup

METHOD
Waffle batter 
  1. Combine, Flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar together and whisk well.
  2. Add buttermilk to the cooled melted butter.
  3. Make a well inside the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk mixture. Stir slowly and gently.
  4. Add water while stirring, and vanilla extract. Keep it aside
 Caramelised Bananas
  1. Take a heavy nonstick pan. Heat up and add the sugar. Simmer the flame.
  2. Thickly slice the Bananas diagonally. It must be ripe but not too mushy
  3. Gently rotate the pan to spread the caramel. Add the butter when it's dark amber in colour. Add a little bit of water if it's too thick
  4. Add the Bananas and toss them. Careful not to break the Bananas. Remove from flame. 
Preheat waffle iron. Grease both sides with oil/butter using a silicon brush
Pour a ladle of batter. Cook until done.
Keep in a warm oven, on a wire rack until arranging. This will keep the waffle crisp.
Arrange 2 waffles, top with caramelised Bananas, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve right away!!

Makes 11 standard waffles. Serves 6-7.

IDLI AND DOSA BATTER TROUBLESHOOT

"Why is my Idli sometimes comes out as flat as oothappam?" Too much of urad Dhall or too much of water in urad Dhall makes the Idli batter to flatten. When the batter reaches its OMC I.e, Optimum moisture Content, it ferments well and rises perfectly. Watery batter doesn't rise while steaming. " My idlis are of right size. But turns out very hard sometimes. What could be possibly wrong?" When you leave the batter to ferment overnight, urad dhall foams up along with the rice. When you are about to make idlis, do not disturb the foam. Stir the batter very gently 2-3 times and pour into Idli plates and steam "Why is my dosa white in colour? It doesn't get that golden brown crispy finish?" Addition of raw rice a.k.a Ponni Pacharisi will help you to get that golden roast finish. The ratio for dosa are as follows: 4+1:1.5 4 Idli rice+1raw rice: 1.5 urad Dhall " I leave my batter overnight to ferment but it doesn't seem ...
