Vegetarian Tomato Omlette or Pudla

Pudla is a Gujarati version of tomato omlette. Its quick, tasty and healthy too, since it is made with gram flour. Here is the recipe for pudla or eggless tomato omlette.

Ingredients:
1 Cup Gram Flour (Besan),
2 Teaspoon Semolina (Suji),
2 Teaspoon Rice Flour,
Salt to Taste
3-4 Green Chilies, Finley Chopped,
1/4 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder,

1/2 Teaspoon Garam Masala,

2 Medium Tomatoes, Finley Chopped,

1/2 Medium Onion, Finley Chopped,

1/4 Cup Chopped Cilantro Leaves,

1/4 Cup Yogurt, (makes it soft and fluffly)
Water

Method: Combine all the ingredients mentiond above except the water. Mix everything well. Start adding little water at a time while stirring the ingredients to make sure that no lumps form. Add just enough water to get a pancake batter consistency.

Heat a griddle or a non stick pan. Pour 1/4 teaspoon oil in the center. Pour about 1/3rd cup of the batter on the oil and spread it evenly on the griddle. Cook on medium high heat for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown. Flip the side. Cook for another minute. Take off of the griddle and serve hot with butter, ketchup or chutney.

Eggless Pound Cake

Since I am a vegetarian, I am always trying some new ways to make an eggless cake, which can make the cake light, moist and fluffy. I think I have finally found a good recipe.

Here I am sharing a basic pound cake recipe. I added some orange zest for taste, and some walnuts for a bite, but you can eliminate these additional ingredients altogether, and still make a good pound cake.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour (Maida)
1/4 Lb (1 Stick) Butter, melted
1-1/4 Cups Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Ground Flax Seeds (Flax Seeds Powder)
3 Teaspoon Water
A Pinch Salt
3/4 Cup Sour Cream
1/8th Cup Orange Juice (You can use water if you don't want orange flavour)
1/4 Teaspoon Orange Zest (Optional)
1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts (Optional)
A few strands of Saffreon, for some color

Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 325 degree F. In a big mixing bowl, add the butter, sugar and cream and mix well. In a small cup mix the ground flax seeds in 3 teaspoon of water and keep aside for 5 minutes to make a thick paste.  Add the flax seeds paste to the butter mixture and mix well making sure no lumps are formed. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, saffron, walnuts and orange zest in a pan and mix well. Now add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Add the orange juice (or water) and mix everything uniformly for one last time.

Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle some flour on all sides. Transfer the batter into the pan and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until a knife, when inserted in the center comes out clean. When it is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool completley. Cut into slices and serve.
