Apple and cherry upside-down cake (Eggless)

I love baking, but i am impatient to see the end result. Will they turn moist or very hard..............???? This cake turned out to be delicious and moist one. Apple and cherry upside down cake can be made on a special day or a holiday dinner dessert.

It can be served as such or scoop up with a vanilla ice cream or even with a greek yogurt . Merry Christmas to all !!!!

Thai curry noodles

Thai curried noodles can be prepared with wheat or rice noodles served with hot thai red curry paste. You can use this paste either in noodles or rice. I would not say this is very easy to prepare. If  planned and thai paste is ready then the dish is simple. Thai foods are very spicy, they use ripe green chillies for their foods.  I have used kashmiri red chilly here.

This recipe was from a television show which I noted down long back. Try this you'll be sure to enjoy.

Granola cereal
