ORANGE GHEE CAKE


I just love to prepare varieties of cakes in  the air fryer as i find it very easy to bake & also much tastier. 

Store brought  ghee cake is very expensive & has added preservatives.  This cake can be prepared with less cost with few ingredients available at home. 

I have already posted my recipe on plain ghee cake. This time i tried this orange ghee cake which turned out just too delicious.  


This cake is so moist, it just melts in your mouth.

We can't bake large cake in air fryer as the basket is small in size. Hence i have used 100ml cup for measuring my ingredients. 

You can use ingredients as per your choice & bake a larger cake in oven. 

Try this simple, easy recipe to prepare this super delicious orange ghee cake.

  • 1/4tsp baking powder
  • 2 pinch baking soda
  • 3-4drops of orange extract

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy ...

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
