<p>Thank you my dear friends for ur queries and support. After a short break, here I am back with Banana walnut bread.<br />
These days I am into baking more, at least once a week I am trying to bake. As many of the passionate bakers say even I am becoming fond of baking. This recipe turned out to be super moist with the right amount of sweetness.<br />
<span id="more-3568"></span><br />
The variations can be done by adding other nuts, skip coconut, butter can be used instead of oil, I wanted to keep it light so I used oil.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3567" title="Banana Walnut Bread" src="http://www.sashirecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/BananaWalnutBread-8.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Based on the baking pan the timing should be adjusted. If you are planning to use mini loaf pans reduce the timing by 10 min and vice versa for bigger pans.<br />

What is a muffin for newbies, the rest can skip the first para.<br />
Muffins are served as breakfast. There are two types of muffins English and American. English muffins are made with yeast where as American are made with chemical leavener like baking soda. American muffins are domed shaped and English muffins are flat.<br />
American Muffins are further divided into bread like (less sugar) muffins or cake like (high sugar)muffins. Variations can be made to the basic muffin recipe and baked into special muffins.<br />
The difference between a cupcake and a muffin is a cupcake has more sugar and a frosting layer on top, where as muffins don&#8217;t.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3441" title="Strawberry Muffin" src="http://www.sashirecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/StrawberryMuffin-1.jpg" alt="Strawberry Muffin" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>I started liking muffins after coming to America. They serve a lot of varieties for breakfast. I love muffins for it&#8217;s soft cake like inside texture and the crispy dome. So here&#8217;s my attempt at a Strawberry Muffin with fresh strawberries.<br />
I thought the strawberry would be cooked nicely and that won&#8217;t be moist inside the muffins, but I was wrong. When it&#8217;s cooked I could see the moistened area around every strawberry chunk, not sure if this is how it would be or I am doing it wrong, someone please answer me, if we use fresh fruits for baking is there any special steps that needs to be done?<br />

<div class="directions">Directions:</div>
<ol class="steps">
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>1</span></div>
<p>Mix all purpose flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut the strawberries into bite size piece, toss them in a sieve with 1 1/2 tsp of all purpose flour to lightly coat them.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>2</span></div>
<p>Mix the butter and sugar together and beat it with electric hand held mixer until they become fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until combined. Mix the vanilla syrup.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>3</span></div>
<p>Add the flour now and beat them until they are mixed. Add milk and beat till all are mixed well. Don&#8217;t over beat as muffin would become rough. Using the rubber spatula fold (mix gently) the strawberries in the mix and keep it ready.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>4</span></div>
<p>Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prepare the muffin pan by spraying some oil or coat with a layer of butter. We can also use cupcake wraps and coat them with oil or butter. Divide the batter among the cups evenly using an ice-cream scoop or two spoons.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>5</span></div>
<p>Cook it for about 20-25 min if it&#8217;s a mini muffin tray or 25-30 min if it&#8217;s a regular muffin tray. Rotate the muffin tray in the middle for even cooking. Before removing the tray from the oven check to make sure its cooked by inserting a tooth pick and check if it comes out clean.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>6</span></div>
<p>Transfer it to the wired rack to cool them. Tilt the muffins on their side to cool them for at least 10 mins. Can be served warm.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="tipsheading">Tips :</div>
<ul class="tips">
<li> Beat until the dry ingredients and wet ingredients combine to get the soft muffin else muffin would become rough.</li>
</ul>
<p>(*) This can be refrigerated in a airtight container for about a week. If refrigerated, heat for 10-15 sec in microwave before serving.</p>

Wow it&#8217;s been a year since I started blogging. I can&#8217;t believe it that a year has gone by so quickly. I am happy that I have successfully completed a whole year of blogging, this is all due to the support and encouragement I have received from family, friends and you my dear readers. It&#8217;s been an exciting year for me and am hoping to continue with the same spirit as before. I have big plans for the coming year and hope to expand into more categories and hope to get the continued support from everyone.</p>
<p>With that let&#8217;s get into today&#8217;s recipe, you can call it an anniversary special!</p>

This snack is apt for evening crunching. It&#8217;s very easy to prepare and tastes good. These kind of puffs we get all over Tamilnadu with bit of stuffed masala added with Vegetables. The same method can be followed to prepare vegetable samosa or Veg Samosa with the vegetable fillings.<br />

<div class="directions">Directions:</div>
<ol class="steps">
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>1</span></div>
<p>Thaw the puff pastry Sheet for 40 min in room Temperature or microwave for 30 Sec. <strong>Note:</strong> Dont Microwave for more than 30 sec, as it would be mashed up. Pastry sheet will have 3 columns, so cut into 9 pieces by splitting the column first and then rows. You would finally get 9 squares. Chop Onions in to little bigger than the regular ones.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>2</span></div>
<p>In a pan, add oil, Mustard, Urad dhal and wait till mustard splutters. Add cumin, Chopped green chili, Onion, Salt and fry till the onion is cooked and the moisture in Onion is left. Add chili powder, Curry Masala Powder and fry for 2 or 3 minutes till the raw smell leaves. Do not forget to stir often as it would get burnt.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>3</span></div>
<p>Allow the cooked onion to cool down for 15 min. Take the Pastry sheet, and keep a spoon full of onion, do not over fill as u cannot close the edges. Close the edges of the pastry sheet carefully. Do it slowly as it my break the sheet. Close by pressing the edges together in hands.</li>
<li>
<div class="steps">Step <span>4</span></div>
<p>In a Oven tray spread the Aluminum foil and spray some oil on top of the sheet. Spraying Oil is to avoid puff being stick to the sheet. Arrange the stuffed Puff in the oven tray. Preheat Conventional Oven to 400 F. Keep the tray inside for about 20 &#8211; 30 minutes. Turn the sides in the middle.</li>
</ol>
