Put the shrimp on a large plate, belly side up and side by side without touching each other.
Season the shrimp with mustard sauce, salt and white pepper over top, evenly. 
Coat the inside of the shrimp with flour.
Heat up a pan over medium flame. Add little cooking oil to the pan.
Beat an egg with a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Dip the shrimp into the egg and place it in the pan. Repeat this with the rest of the shrimp but don’t crowd them in the pan.
Cook for a few minutes until the bottom of the shrimp turns a little light golden brown, pressing down slightly with a spatula every now and then. Turn them over and cook another couple of minutes until both sides are light golden brown. Place them in a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve with Dipping Sauce. Enjoy!!

Eggless Oats Litchi Loaf#BreadBakers

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.

Masala Chai Mousse Bundt#SundayFunday

It's a soft, fluffy mousse cake spiced with masala chai spices and made with biscuits. It's a perfect tea cake.
Cup Measurement = 200 ML
Ingredients
For The Tea

200 ML Water
2 Tablespoon Masala Chai Tea Leaves
2 Cardamoms
4 Teaspoons Sugar
200 ML Milk
For The Mousse
32 Glucose Biscuits - grind to a powder
100 Grams Digestive Biscuits - grind to a powder
¼ Cup Melted Butter
1/3 Cup Fresh Cream
½ Cup Milk
1½ Cup Whipped Cream
1 Large Egg
¼ Teaspoon Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
¼ Cup Milk
1 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoon Chocolate Chips for the topping
Method
In a deep pan on medium heat, add water, lemongrass, mint leaves and let it boil for 5 to 10 mins, then add cardamom powder, sugar and tea leaves and let it boil again for 10 mins, add more water if the water level goes down, then add milk and let it comes to a rolling boil 3 to 4 times, then take it off heat and strain to get a clear tea.
In a shallow pan, heat cream for 3 to 4 minutes, then add glucose biscuits, it will firm up, not to worry, add the tea and stir to break all lumps, then add in milk and keep breaking the lumps, once the mixture is nice and clear take it off heat.
In a bowl take the powdered digestive biscuits and mix in butter, mix until all the biscuit powder is mixed with butter. In a round ring mold place the biscuit butter mixture, flatten it out and then freeze until ready to use.

In a bowl, add the whipping cream using an electric whisk, whisk the cream until they form stiff peaks, then add cooled tea-cream mixture and whip until they have completely incorporated. Beat in the egg, baking powder and essence then add the milk and oil and continue to beat. Pour this into a greased small bundt and sprinkle a the chocolate chips with a spoon lightly swirl it and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 25 -30 minutes (I found that it was browning too much on top after 14 minutes so I tented it with a foil). This took excalty 30 minutes, if you insert a tooth pick,  it will come out a little wet since I added chocolate chips. 
So check for doness when the cake starts to leave the sides of the pan. Cool and enjoy!!
