Passion Fruit Panna Cotta

When it comes to eating fruits, I am very fussy!!! There are few fruits which I really don't like and would never ever taste no matter how healthy or nutritious they are!! One among such fruits, is the passion fruit..... The seeds of passion fruit are never appealing to my eyes and so I just don't like it..... Last week when JJ went to Kerala, he got some passion fruits from home and was wondering what to do with it as I didn't want to waste it too!!! I remember seeing few passion fruit recipes on Swapna's Cuisine.... And, I went ahead with the Passion Fruit Panna Cotta without giving a second thought as we are panna cotta lovers.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy!
