Of all my bakery arts, this  is one of the masterpiece. I can bet you can't stop with just one piece.
you will eat and repeat, eat and repeat.

Delightful pineapple Tart filled with sweet and a ting of sour pineapple jam is a delicacy being cooked during New year in Vietnam. We love to exchange gifts with relatives and friends. Along with moon cake which is important delicacy during New Year ("Tet" in Vietnamese).

How good it will be if you can also cook this mouth watering dish at your home.

Let's do it. collect all the ingredients first.

Ingredients:

for pineapple Filling:

1. 1.4kg fresh pineapple
2. 300gm-400gm sugar
3. 1 small cinnamon stick

Pineapple Jam for Tart

For Dough:

1. 160gm butter (room temperature)
2. 52 gm sugar
3. 2.5 tsp curd
4. 3.5 tsp whipping cream (52.5gm)
5. 2 big egg yolks
6. 265gm plain flour
7. 26 gm corn flour

Procedure:

Preparing pineapple jam takes more time in whole process. Although this jam can stay for long time in fridge as it is cooked with sugar. Once Jam is ready your more than half work is complete.

Steps to prepare pineapple jam which will be used for filling:

- Cut the pineapples into small pieces or you can use grinder to make pineapple paste.

- Put the paste in the non-stick pan with sugar and cinnamon stick.

- Let the solution boil at low flame. Pineapple will ooze out all water from it. Sugar will also extract water from pineapple. Let the solution boil at low flame so that  all water evaporates. Don't forget to stir at regular intervals to avoid sticking at bottom of pan.

Jam Preparation: no water added

Steps to prepare dough for filling:

- Beat the butter, sugar, curd together. Add whipping cream with medium level. Add egg yolk and beat again.

- Sieve the flour and add into the mixture.

- Use hands to knead the dough slowly.  Don't knead dough for longer as it will get harder.

- Use cling film to wrap the dough and keep it in the chiller at least 30mins to set the dough. So that you can easily work with the dough.

- Divide the dough into small balls.

- Make the dough flat and put filling in the middle and create the round/rectangle cookies as your wish. Don't put too much fillings as it will break the dough. I often divide 20gm dough with as much as fillings you want but not too much as tart will be broken while baking.

- Eggwash the cookies before baking. It will give nice golden color to cookies.

 Glazing: 1 egg yolk + 2 tsp milk, mix properly to create solution sticky like paste. 

 With eggwash, tart will look more tempting.

Preheat the oven to 175degree celsius and put the prepared tart inside it. Wait for 15-20 minutes and our tart is ready. 

- Baking time 15-20mins @ 175celcius.

Healthier Paneer is Soya Paneer(tofu). How to make at home?

We are always struggling to find balance between taste and health. India, dependent mostly on Cow's milk, for dairy needs are looking for healthier options. Milk with less fat and more protein.

To achieve this, milk farms are launching toned or skimmed or low fat milk variants.
We all know that fat content in Cow's milk Paneer is high and in thrive to get similar taste but healthier options, Indian crowd is now looking into Soya Milk Paneer.

Soya milk, already famous in few South East Asian countries, is entering silently in Indian food habits.
Soya milk is not only good for weight loss but also a good supplement for breastfeeding mommies.
As we always have doubt on factory made Soya Milk Paneer available in market, I am going to share EASY steps of making this at home.

Ingredients:

1. Soya Beans.
2. Salt.
3. Lemon 
4. Purified water.

Steps to make it.

Step1) Clean Soya beans properly. It will remove polish and dust from the seeds which might spoil the color as well as taste if not done properly.

SoyaBean Seeds

Step2) Soak Soya seeds overnight or minimum of 6 -8 hours. Make sure that you don't soak it lesser than suggested time neither soak it for much longer time. Soaking it for much longer time might create bad smell in water and hence will spoil milk and paneer both.

Step3) Once it is soaked nicely, clean it again in running water to remove any bad smell. Put it in grinder and do a fine grinding.

Step4) In the step 3 grinding process, it will release milk slowly. After milk is released, take a white cloth, put grinded Soya in that cloth and squeeze it properly.

Step5) Collect milk in a pot, boil it on slow flame. Keep stiring the milk to advoid the burn at the bottom of the pot. In the mean time, get one small bowl of puried water mixed with salt and half lemon juice.

STEPS to Make PANEER. (Tofu)

Step6) When the milk is boiled, reduce the heat if you are using the gas stove or turn off the induction cook. Slowly pour the lemon juice into the milk. Let it rest for 1 minutes. Then turn on the medium heat to boil the milk. After some time, milk will cluster while water will get separated.

Step7) Pour the clustered solid part in white cloth which is inside the basket. Press the solid part with anything heavy on the surface to separate the water. Make sure that white cloth is clean and thin material. After 1 hour you can have the paneer ready. If you want the harder paneer, you can press it for longer time or overnight.
