A very easy to make, soft and delicious litchi dessert loaf. Perfect to serve for a Hi Tea party or have it with as a dessert with an ice cream of your choice.
I have used frozen litchis in this recipe. When they were in season, freeze them. You can also use canned litchi or frozen, just drain the syrup whether canned or frozen.
Cup Measurement - 250 Ml

Ingredients
1 Cup Level All Purpose Flour
½ Cup Level Oats powder
2 Tablespoon Level Corn Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Baking soda
¼ Teaspoon Salt¾ Cup Condensed milk
½ Cup Vegetable Oil
150 Ml Sour Cream - Homemade
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
¾ Cup Chopped Litchis
A Pinch of Yellow Food color
To Garnish
2 Tablespoons Chopped Pistachio or as required
Method

Preheat the oven at 180°C.
Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Strain all the syrup from the litchis and then finely chop them.
In a bowl sieve flour, oats powder, corn flour, salt, baking powder and soda.
Add the lemon color to the sour cream, mix well, keep aside.
In a large bowl whisk the condensed milk , vanilla essence and oil well till fluffy and creamy.
Now mix the sifted flour along with the sour cream in three batches. Beating after every addition well. Fold in chopped litchis in the batter.
Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan.
Tap the pan gently on the counter. Sprinkle chopped pistachios.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180° for 35- 40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
It took exactly 40 minutes in my oven to bake.
Every oven takes different time so check after 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle, if it comes out clean, its done. 
Let the cake cool down completely before slicing.

Serve it with tea, coffee or a glass of milk. Or enjoy with ice cream.

Dahiwale Aloo Ki Sabzi/Potatoes In Yogurt Sauce#AlphabetChallenge

Dahiwale aloo is nothing but potatoes in yogurt gravy.  This  is a very creamy and flavorful gravy.  Its quick easy and tastes delicious.

Ingredients
For the  Aloo 
10 - 12 Peeled Baby Potatoes
½ Teaspoon Cumin seeds
½ Teaspoon Mustard seeds
½ Teaspoon Onion seeds
½ Teaspoon Fennel seeds
¼ Teaspoon Asafoetida
2 Bay leaves
3 Cloves
1 Stick Cinnamon
A Sprig Curry leaves
1 Green Chilly - slit
2 Teaspoon Red chilly powder
1½ Teaspoons Coriander Cumin powder
¼ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Cup Yogurt - whisked
2 Tablespoons Ghee
Salt to taste
For The Garnish
2 - 3 Tablespoons Coriander leaves - chopped

Method  
Heat the ghee in a kadai/pan,  add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, onion seeds, fennel seeds and asafoetida. When the seeds crackle, add the bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, curry leaves and green chilli and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the potatoes, chilli powder, coriander-cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt and sauté till the masala coats the potatoes evenly. 

Add ½ cup of water and bring to a boil.
Add the curds and bring to a boil while stirring continuously so that the gravy does not split.

Garnish with the coriander. Serve hot as a side dish or have as a main course meal with rotis, naan or paratha.
My Notes

As this gravy cools, potato will absorb some of it, so serve hot. If serving later then add a little more water and make a thin gravy. By the time you reheat/serve, you will still have some gravy left.
