21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 15: Something that you love cooking


While not much of a cook, over the last 2 weeks, I have been spending more time in the kitchen and trying out certain different recipes. I think most people reading this can relate! In spite of this experimentation, the one thing that remains my favorite is – cake! I have been baking cakes since my teenage years. I love the process of baking, and well, who doesn't enjoy the process of eating them? I’ve also attempted cookies, muffins and pancakes throughout these years. My attempts at cookies and muffins did not go very well, however, something I learnt and  almost perfected (where is the humility?) are pancakes.

Pancakes – the beloved breakfast option across the world! As someone who absolutely adores a big and fancy breakfast, I am a sucker for pancakes. Heavy, hearty and delicious – what’s not to love? Pair them with a glass of cold-coffee, and your day could not get better.

So, as part of this blog, I have decided to share the recipe I use for pancakes. They are eggless pancakes, and can be enjoyed by anybody.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, vanilla essence, unsalted butter or ghee, milk and water

Process (for four medium sized pancakes):
  1. Take two bowls of flour, one bowl of sugar, half a tablespoon of baking powder and baking soda each, one tablespoon of cocoa powder
  2. Mix, mix, mix – for about 2 minutes
  3. Slowly add some milk to the dry ingredients while stirring the batter, so as to avoid any lumps (you may mix some water to the milk to make the pancakes lighter)
  4. Keep mixing the batter until you reach a consistency that is neither too thin nor too thick
  5. Add one tablespoon of vanilla essence and half a tablespoon of ghee (or melted butter)
  6. Whisk this batter for about 10 to 12 minutes, and then let it rest
  7. Meanwhile, pre-heat a non-stick pan on medium flame for about 10 minutes
  8. Once hot enough, add some butter to the pan and spread evenly on the surface
  9. Slowly add the pancake batter on the pan, so that it takes a round shape
  10. Let the pancake cook for about 90 to 120 seconds (the flame should be low-medium during this time, else the edges might burn)
  11. Gently flip the pancake once the top side starts to bubble
  12. Let it cook for another 30 to 40 seconds
  13. Voila! Pancakes are ready. You may pair them with honey, maple syrup, butter or fruits!

Hope you enjoy! Happy eating!

My opinion on - Inferno by Dan Brown

[Warning - Contains Spoilers] Released last year, Inferno is Dan Brown's fourth book in the Robert Langdon Series, the other three being Angels and Demons, The Da vinci Code and The Lost Symbol . Inferno isn't much different from the others, it was a page-turner like all his other books. The story takes off with Langdon waking up in a Hospital in Italy and suffering from retrograde amnesia. A female doctor named Sienna Brooks lets him know of his whereabouts and accompanies him in his journey which includes a sequence of interesting events, involving, of course, a lot of codes and symbols, and the story picks up pace thereafter. There are various puzzle pieces that Langdon needs to put together, which are made up by a ludicrous (also, dead) Geneticist named Bertrand Zobrist, who [SPOILERS] wants to cut down the population of the world by four billion. He commits suicide right at the beginning of the book, but not before creating a plague by the means of which he wan...

21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy

In the midst of the world locking down, and given the additional amount of time on our hands, I have decided to participate in a 21-day blogging marathon. This is inspired by the 30-day writing challenge on https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com – I have picked up some cool and interesting topics from this blog and customized them to suit my own style. Hope you enjoy it! Day 1: 5  Things That Make Me Happy  I like to observe all the things around me and I greatly enjoy the little pleasures of life. Here I am listing 5 random things that bring me a lot of joy: 1. Books, bookshelves, bookstores: I find books to be very beautiful objects. What’s not to love about them? The smell, the feel of the pages, the happiness they give you when they are neatly stacked on a bookshelf next to each other, arranged by genre, author or even color. The sheer number of stories and characters they hold within themselves, and just knowing that you can get to be a p...

Entrepreneurship in India

Editor-in-chief of MiLLENNiAL magazine, Britt Hysen, writes - 60 percent Millenials think of themselves as entrepreneurs, and 90 percent of them consider entrepreneurship to be a mentality. Let's take a look at the latter half of the sentence. Entrepreneurship as a mentality. This is what Entrepreneurship is perceived as in today's day and age. New, innovative and unique ideas are flowing everywhere, and those bringing these ideas to life are millenials, creative and fearless, looking for the double bottom line of making profit as well as providing a valuable service. Look back two or three decades, and the picture is completely different. It was a time when most college graduates were satisfied with the safety of a well-paid job, and didn't dare to look outside of it. Entrepreneurship was considered a phenomenon only pursued by the ambitious Steve Jobses of the world. So what has changed in the short span of twenty, thirty years? The Techno...
