Soft Tofu,banana & strawberry are rich in antioxidants,Calcium, controls blood pressure, good for skin and has anti ageing properties and above all both the fruits taste so so delicious and the color of the fruits really attracts everyone, that too the heart shaped strawberries definitely a favorite fruit of many of us Right?! Generally its good to include more fruits & veggies in our diet and smoothie are one of the best way to add more fruits in single serving. Am trying this kinda smoothie for my breakfast n snacks.

Basbousa (Middle East sweet)


 Basbousa is a term in the Middle east that refers to a very sweet semolina – sort of- cake. Verbally in Arabic we can call our loved ones “basbousa”,Which means my sweet or sweety.

For those who have never eaten Basbousa .. it is a Middle-Eastern dessert like a cake, but not exactly a cake.  The basic ingredients are eggs,milk powder,semolina, and a whole lot of sugar.  However, you can adjust the quantity of sugar and make it less if you're not much of a sweet-tooth.  Though people also make rich Basbousa with cream, the recipe given below is the original and standard one and it is tasty .Here i have made rich basbousa with cream.The Perfect Basbousa should be moist and buttery.The secret ingredient behind that is powder milk.
This dish is very easy and very tasty too.It hardly takes 15 min to prepare and max half an hour or 20 min to bake..
