Ganache coffee milkshake
About:
Ganache is a frosting used in Cakes, which is a blend of cream and chocolate. Thought why not surprise my hubby with a coffee drink using Ganache and this came out like a wonder. This milk shake have made with single cream and semi-skimmed milk using dark chocolate to reduce the calorie intake. The silky ganache and ground coffee add more flavour to the shake. Natural honey is used for an added health benefits.

Bitter gourd (Melons)/ Karela baked chips
About:
Spicy, tangy and healthy munchies. Bitter melons are considered as healthy vegetable but just because of its bitterness many tend to avoid it. This way of baking and consuming them makes it healthy with a snack to enjoy with a unique taste. This can be served as a snack/appetizer.
I was inspired by Malar’s Baked Karela.. Thanks Malar…I tried with few variations and it turned out well without the feel of any bitterness…
