Well again it is winter time and I am here with another cake recipe. I made an eggless gluten-free cake last Christmas time but I never followed it up with another. The reason is I was trying to find a simple formula for making cake. After many failed experiments I believe now I have the perfect but simple recipe for homemade cakes. There are many types of cake but all of them follow the simple formula described below.

Zomato Restaurant review - Dhaba Stories, Sarjapur

It was a family visit for us when we decided to have some authentic Punjabi food on a weekend. We were anxious about getting a parking space and surprisingly there were only 3 to 4 and all were expectedly full. But the lane beside the building had enough street side parking which rescued us. The food was awsome, full of ajwain which felt really mouth watering. We ordered lachha paratha, paneer pasinda and kullad lassi and all were really good. Ambience was nice and cozy with some dhaba style beds to sit with. People serving there were polite but meal preparing time was too much. We also loved the mouth freshner they provide after dinner. It was jaggery instead of sugar.  Overall a 4.0 from our side. Some photos depict the environment.

 

BTW, we visited for the same place second time within a month but surprisingly the food quality came down, no ajain in lachhadar paratha and paneer was not fresh. Really disappointing 

 

Zomato Restaurant review - Beijing Bites, Dommasandra

  

We went to Beijing Bites in Dommasandra. The place is called Nature Walk and have a nice setup. We didn't have to wait on Sunday afternoon and that was good. The people over there were quite polite and helpful. We ordered a crispy Wanton for starters and it was really good. One caveat though, the waiter who supplied it could not tell us the name as the menu book was returned and my daughter wanted to know. But the food that followed was of good quality and the taste was really yummy. Sweet and sour chicken was the best of all. One of the AC was not working and it was rather hot. So I cannot give a 5 star rating for the restaurant but a 4.5 should be ok. Few photos follow.
