Apricots, Peaches, Cherries, Mangoes, lychees; its the season for all these wonderful fruits. Usually, I enjoy my fruits in their natural form, as it is; with cooking or baking.A batch of peaches I bought some time back was very sour and was just lurking around in the fridge. I was thinking of ways to use-up the fruits when I saw Deeba’s post about these gorgeous tarts. The fate of my sour peaches was sealed; they along with a handful of cherries and apricots were baked to make these delectable tarts. The other thing which attracted me to the recipe was…

Hot Cross Buns
It’s not Easter yet and still I made these delightful Hot Cross Buns! I wanted to use up some left over Tutti Frutti and also the fresh yeast sitting in my refrigerator for quite some time now. The recipe is from Sanjeevkapoor’s ‘Cakes and Bakes’. My little one was very excited at the mention of Hot Cross Buns; He was delighted that one of his nursery rhymes was in my cookbook too! 🙂 These buns were a delight to make. We enjoyed the soft perfectly crumbed, mildly sweet buns for breakfast with some cinnamon sugar and Lime marmalade. I followed…
Apricot Prune Tea Cake
Apricot and Prunes make a delicious combination for this light and simple Tea cake .The slight tangy taste of the dried fruits compliments the sweetness of the cake.

I have followed the recipe except that I did not use the ½ tsp salt as suggested. Also I used almost ½ cup of milk instead of ¾ as recommended in the recipe and my baking time…
Quick Roti Quesadilla
A very simple way to use leftover Rotis and curries: This is a hit with my little one and he doesn’t even know he is eating beans, cauliflower, carrots! Left over Rotis are stuffed with vegetable mixed with soya sauce, tomato ketchup, sprinkled with cheese, drizzled with oil, toasted and cut into triangle like Quesadillas. The Idea for sealing the Roti edges comes from Nupur’s Aayis samosa. Thanks Nupur and your Aai for this brilliant idea. Roti Quesadilla Recipe:
Ridge Gourd with Jowar-Wheat flour dumplings
I always wonder what keeps My Foodcourt going? I am not someone who is very good with words , and so the writeup on posts are usually quite small and only occasionally elaborate. My food-photos are ok but not exceptional;I get on an average 5-7 minutes to photograph any of my recipes, before my little one decides it is high time he took charge of the camera! Then what is it? Of course I love your feedback and encouragement, the most important thing that keeps me going. And then there are recipes like these which I love to share with…
