YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food A slice of spice Chetna Makan’ s easy baking recipes By You Magazine - June 12, 2022 Traditional favourites are given a flavourful twist in these imaginative creations from Bake Off champion Chetna Makan Pineapple elderflower cake recipe I have a soft spot for pineapple cake. It was the most popular at the bakeries in Jabalpur: a light, eggless sponge with fresh cream and pineapple on top. I have tried to make it at home but it’s not the same. So I have made my own version, adding the pineapple to the cake and, since I have elderflower in my garden, I have incorporated it here to lend a summery, floral note. This cake is so light and refreshing that you might find it serves far fewer people than I say! Nassima Rothacker GET THE RECIPE Masala chai tres leches cake recipe Here I have combined one of my favourite cakes with one of my favourite flavours. Nassima Rothacker GET THE RECIPE Cherry almond and honey upside-down cake recipe Living in Kent I am very lucky to have an abundance of cherries in the season and, as much as I like to enjoy them as is, they are great in bakes too. This very delicately flavoured cake is a crowd-pleaser. Not only is it easy to make, it also somehow tastes of long summer evenings. Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream, or serve with crème fraîche. Nassima Rothacker GET THE RECIPE Chilli naan pizza recipe I love the texture of naan dough and the cheesy topping of pizza, so it makes sense for me to present this naan-pizza combination. Here I use my favourite coriander chutney with the cheese, but feel free to add your chosen toppings. You can cook the breads a few hours in advance and grill with the cheese topping just before serving. GET THE RECIPE Coriander chutney recipe This is cooked with a base of lentils, ginger and garlic and a few more things that marry well. Nassima Rothacker GET THE RECIPE Potato curry puffs recipe You will find many variations of curry puffs from different parts of the world, though where I come from we call them vegetable patties. In this recipe I use only potatoes, instead of mixed vegetables. The curry powder is the main flavour, marrying well with the coconut cream, while puff pastry is the perfect carrier for this delicious filling.
