Ramya's Recipe Series - Microwave Banana & Dry Fruits Bread - Eggless

I will be starting with a dessert/snack first! This is an Eggless Banana Bread (with optional dry fruits). I learnt this from a cousin, with few of my own additions/improvements. 

The main ingredients... 
  • Maida - 2 cups
  • Powdered Sugar - 2/3rd cup
  • Oil - 1/4th cup
  • Baking Soda- 1/4th tea spoon
  • Over-ripe Bananas - 2
Optional Ingredients:
  • Dry Fruits: Powdered walnuts, Almonds, Cashew - 1/2 cup, Raisins- 15
Method
  1. Pre-heat the microwave at 180C in the convection mode. 
  2. Sieve the maida, powdered sugar and baking soda. Mash the over ripe bananas and add them. Then add oil, powdered dry fruits,raisins and mix well. 
  3. Now, coat an aluminium tray with crystallized ghee. Add the mixture and bake in the microwave in the convection mode at 180C for 1 hour.
  4. After 1 hour, allow the bread to cool. Slice it and enjoy




Tips
  • Use over ripe bananas, it gives the best taste.
  • Banana can be substituted with grated apple
  • Sugar can be reduced to 1/2 cup if you prefer less sweet bread
  • For diabetics, sugar can be substituted with equal quantity of Sugar-Free/ Equal powder. Also, use apple instead of banana.
  • Powdered dry fruits add taste and flavor.
  • Coating the tray with crystallized ghee gives best result. If that is not available, butter can be used.

Road trip on our Suzuki Ritz 2013 Vxi Petrol - Bangalore - Tiruchengode - Trichy (Vayalur - Tiruvanaikovil - Samayapuram - Srirangam - Rockfort) - Namakkal - Bangalore -  850 kms - 3 days/2 nights   After our road trip to Chennai last month, I really wanted to go on another long drive, and was looking to drive all the way to Kanyakumari on the NH7. But, with the limited budget, we decided to restrict to Trichy which is around 380 kms. We started with an elaborate plan to cover a lot of places in and around Trichy with a 4-day halt at Trichy - mainly a temple tour with a few picnic spots here and there. However, the actual trip spanned only 3 days - we started on 6th October at 5AM and returned on 8th October by 4 PM - purely a temple tour. The Trip... Bangalore-Krishnagiri-Salem (200 kms - 3 hours) We started from Horamavu, Bangalore (north-east corner of Bangalore) on  Sunday, 6th October 2013 0500 , and drove through the inner ring road to reach Hosur Road...
