Banana&Kiwi Cake

Eid Mubarek to all.. The holy ramadan is over yesterday , and today is the first day of Bayram(Eid). Whole month we fasted, stayed away from bad things:) now time to celebrate it. Everybody is out to visit relatives&friends, the children knocking our door for chocolate:) due to my dad s sickness we will spend the holiday at home, but we have too many guests so i made something to serve for them.

I am not a dessert&baklava person , so fruit cake is the best for me which is light and sweet:)



For the Cake;

4 eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

4 heaping tablespoons flour

Half a cup of cold water

1 package vanilla

1 package of baking powder



for Creamer

3 cup milk

2 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon of starch

1 cup granulated sugar



1 package cream santis







for the cream , put ingredients in a pot and cook till it become like custard. Let it cool.



for the cake, mix eggs&sugar, after add other ingredients and mix more 4-5 min.

Cook it in the preheated oven 180 degree about 40 min.

for santis use the direction on the package.



after the cream got cold, add 3 spoons santis.

When the cake cooked and cooled , divide it(i could just divide 2) , all the lines cover with the cream and i put banana&kiwi on it, but you may add whatever you like, and cover it with other cake lines and repeat.

On the cake cover with santis and fruits again, keep it in the fridge at least 1 hour..



Bon appetit..

Bodrum Mantı (Fried Turkish Ravioli)

I know it is been long time that i didnt write but i had reasonable excuses.

My dad had a big operation , stayed long weeks at hospital. While we were thinking he was recovering, there were some complications, thanks GOD he is better now at home.

Hard times also good to understand your real friends, some of friends made me disappointed, some other made me surprised and felt they are more closer to me than i thought before..

Anyway this is life, all the bad and good things are for us. The most important thing is we r healthy now and i m back with a nice recipe:)

I tired this at a restaurant by a friend recomandation , and ididnt feel regret at all!!! it is amazing delicious, called Bodrum mantı, as far as i learnt it is cooked in Bodrum which is a port city in the southwestern Aegean Region of Turkey.



Ingredients



2 cups flour(300 gr)

1egg

125 gram butter

125 gr. mince

1 onion

2 cup yoghurt

Enough salt

Black pepper

Red pepper, garlic.

Mint







For the dough,put flour ,egg,1/2sp salt,and enough water and knead it.when it is ready, divide it 2 piece and open it with rolling pin,it should be thin around 1mm,

Honestly mine wasnt thin enough, if it is thin ,it d be much better..

On the other hand with some oil cook chopped onions , add mince with salt&black pepper.



Cut each dough sheet into squares of about 1.5"x1.5".Put a very small piece of filling at the center of each square. Continue until the dough is finished.

when all the mantı are ready ,fry them for some seconds, they will be cooked so easy, drain oil.

Melt butter,add tomato paste, some red pepper.

i like yogurt with garlic, so mix your yogurt with chooped garlic, you know if you eat this ,you have to eat it with garlic,

on your mantı, add yogurt and sauce,on the top add mint and you can serve..



Bon appetit.....
