Caramel custard

Custard recipe,home made

 Today's recipe is the well known,simple caramel custard.Only difference is that I have added crushed walnuts to give a twist.Use cream instead of milk in this same recipe, then you will get the traditional Creme Brulee.
Ingredients
2 tbsp sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla essence
1 1/2 cup milk
For the Caramel syrup
Heat a pan .Add 2 tbsp Brown Sugar (or normal sugar is perfectly fine) and 2tsp water (we have to just wet the sugar with water).
Sugar melts and starts bubbling; finally it turns to dark color.
Pour this caramel into a pudding dish; I added some crushed walnuts into this caramel for a change.
Custard Preparation
Beat 2 eggs +2 tbsp sugar+1 tsp vanilla+1 1/2cups milk. Strain it to avoid any lumps.Pour this custard into the pudding dish in which we have already added caramel.Cover the pudding dish with aluminium foil.

We have to double boil this custard now.
For double boiling the custard, take a big pan with lid.
Boil water in this big pan and keep the smaller pudding dish inside and close the lid.
Water level  in the big pan should only reach the half of the pudding dish.
Let the water boil for 15-20 minutes on medium heat.
Custard will get cooked slowly.           
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Now refrigerate it for at least ½ an hour.

At the time of serving, scrape the edges of the custard and carefully place a serving plate to close the custard mould .Now turn it upside down very slowly.
You will get beautifully decorated custard ,bathing in caramel syrup!!!!Enjoy!

Baklava Recipe

Baklava recipe for  turkish dessert
Baklava is a Turkish delight easily available in Middle east,especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
It's a royal dish enjoyed at celebrations in Middle East,especially the Iranian Baklava,the one with Pistachio nuts filling.
The word Baklava in Farsi means 'many leaves' and to make it,layers of Phyllo pastry sheets are baked along with mixed nuts filling.It may seem to be a job only can be done by big Chefs,but anyone can make it as I tried it and came out very delicious and easy.
Many varieties of Baklava is available,secret of some recipes are also said to be passed down with in traditional family members only.
Anyways,I tried this recipe and I got the same taste as the one I found in the stores in Middle east.
Please try this,its worth the effort.
(This  recipe is adapted from The Chef In You website.Thanks a lot DK...)

Ingredients
Phyllo pastry sheets-
Butter-3/4-1 cup melted
For filling
Almonds,Pistachio crushed-1/2 cup
Breadcrumbs- 2tbsp.(very important to add this-)
Sugar-2tbsp
Cinnamon powder-1tsp(Most important for the real flavor)

For syrup
Sugar-1/2 cup
Honey-1/2 cup
Water-1/2 cup

Method of Preparation
This is how I made the sweet and came out really good.
1.Apply butter and prepare the baking dish.
2.Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
3.Mix all the ingredients given under filling.
4.Layer 2 sheets of Phyllo pastry (1 sheet cut into 2 equal halves can be used),in our buttered baking dish.
Cut the sides if they are not fitting inside the baking dish.Brush butter on these sheets liberally and layer 2 more sheets and again repeat the process until 8 sheets .
Now spread the entire filling evenly and pour some butter on the filling.

Place 2 more layers and brush butter on the layers.Repeat this process until you get ten layers of pastry sheets for top layer.
Cut pastry into square or diamond shape.

Pour all the remaining butter on top and bake at 180 degrees until the top gets a golden brown color.
It took almost 50-55 minutes in my oven.(But check in between since each oven is different. )
5.Now make a syrup with sugar,water and honey.Add cinnamon powder to this and pour on hot,freshly baked Baklava to soak it in syrup.
6.Keep aside for 1/2 an hour-2 hours.
Garnish with crushed pistachios.
