A Mouth Full of Cheese-Chicken.





How many varieties of Dosa can you name? Not even 10, right? But here at Dosa@twist they have more than 99 varieties of dosa with awesome twist. NonVeg to Veg & Chocolate Dosa they offer you a huge range to choose from. My personal favourite is the CheeseChicken dosa. Trust me, the mozarella cheese makes it a better version of pizza. With the very first bite it makes you crave for more!
And for dessert? Try out the ChocolateDosa.



Ambience is very good, plus friendly staff. Decor and lights make it a perfect place for after college hangouts, sudden dates, family lunch/dinner etc.

Chocoball Fudge: Quick Dessert in Minutes




Chocoball fudge is a dessert you can quickly prepare without much fuss in no time. Here's a list of all you need to prepare the mouth watering balls. 



Ingredients


  • Muri (puffed rice) 2 cups 
  • Sugar 1/2 cup
  • Marie biscuits 5 pcs.
  • Cocoa powder 1/2 cup
  • Milk powder 3-4 tablespoons 
  • Butter one blob 


Procedure

1-Put the muri, sugar and marie biscuits in the mixer grinder and grind them all fine.

2- Pour the mixture in a mixing bowl and add cocoa powder. Mix well.

3- In a bowl take half cup warm water and add the milk powder along with little butter.

4- Pour the milk in the powdered ingredients and make a dough. Be careful to not make it too watery. Pour the milk little by little while mixing it with a large spoon.

5- Make small dumplings of the dough and keep it on a tray. Put it in the fridge.

6- Take it out and serve chilled with chocolate sauce or sprinkle powdered milk for decoration.

FAQs

Why not liquid milk?
-Powder milk gives you the milk chocolate aroma which the liquid milk cannot.

Why add marie biscuits?
-Marie biscuits have that perfect balance of sweetness that doesn't spoil the chocolaty taste of your fudge.

Is adding butter necessary?
-No. You can do without the butter but remember, butter gives you a special taste to the fudge.

Recipe: Rainbow Marble Cake


I was in love with the colourful sandwich cake they served in cafes but then I am too lazy and miser to go out and spend. So here's what I do. Get my people shop for the ingredients and then make my cool snacks myself. :P You too can try out.



Ingredients

·         Flour (300g)

·         Sugar (200g)

·         Butter (100g)

·         3-4 eggs
Milk (2-3 tablespoon)

·         Baking powder1/2 teaspoon

·         Cocoa powder (two tablespoon)

·         Cadbury Diary Milk Chocolate (8 cube)

 Vanilla essence (a few drops) 
Strawberry essence ( few drops)
Edible pink food colour (1-2 drops)




Procedure:
1. Take sugar in a bowl and add melted butter to it. Mix it well until the sugar blends with the butter and becomes fine.
Tip: Use grounded/powdered sugar to save time. 
2. Now add the eggs and beat it well.

Caution: Do not add eggs to hot butter unless you want sweet scrambled eggs.
3. Add flour little by little and keep mixing it.
4. Add half teaspoon of baking powder.
5. Keep beating the batter until a thick, smooth consistency is achieved.
6. Now take out the mixture in equal quantity in three separate blows and keep aside.
7. Break the chocolate cubes in small pieces and using the double boiler method melt it smooth. Add little milk to make it quick.

8. Now add this melted chocolate to one bowl of the batter you have kept aside. Mix it well and add cocoa powder. Beat well. Now in another batter add strawberry essence and edible pink colour. Mix it well. Add vanilla essence to the white batter. Now you have three batters- one brown, one pink and the other white. 

9. Grease the baking mould with oil and sprinkle some flour. 

10. Now comes the main part of bringing the texture of the rainbow cake. Take a tablespoon for each batter (Brown, pink and white). Drop one tablespoon of white batter in the center of the mould. Then exactly on top of it drop the pink batter followed by the brown. Again drop the white batter then the pink and brown. Repeat this until you have put the batters one after another in the baking mould. The mixture will keep spreading on its own as you keeping dropping the batters in the center.

Tip: Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees while you are pouring the batter.


11. Put the filled mould in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
12. After 40 minutes check if the cake is ready or not by pricking in a fork. If the fork comes out clean, the cake is ready.
13. Turn off the oven and keep the cake inside for some time to allow it to cool.
14. When it cools down, take it out from the mould and serve with your favourite strawberry jam or chocolate topping.


You can make rainbow muffins by changing your mould. Use cupcake moulds instead. Tada! There are your fluffy rainbow muffins!
