Flour tortilla

Tortilla means little cake in spanish. They are one of the main components of a number of Mexican dishes like quesadilla, burrito, enchiladas etc . It is served in various forms like rolled, layered and even folded. It is very similar to Indian flat breads or roti. It differs only in its preparation which involves a lot of resting time. Tortillas can be made with corn, whole wheat and all purpose flour. This recipe uses all purpose flour.

Fruit and nut cake

No better way to use the over ripe bananas than baking a cake or a bread with them. But I realized the same is applicable with other fruits too. For a couple of days I had to go to Chennai. By the time I returned, all the fruits were over ripe and I had no heart to throw them in to the bin.

Bruschetta

Simple and healthy Italian appetizer. These can be served as canape during dinner parties. Bruschetta is lightly toasted, crisp garlic bread with tomato and basil salad.
