• Set aside the cake tin or steel bowl ready. Here I took two steel bowls. Grease the bowls with oil and dust it with flour and tap out the excess flour.
• Now let's prepare the cake batter. For that, take a large bowl and mix together oil and powdered sugar. Mix well.
• To this add curd and lemon juice. Again mix well.
• Now keep a siever over the bowl and add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coffee powder. 
• Sieve well and combine it with the wet ingredients. Fold very well.
• Then add water little by little and mix very well. So the batter is ready.
• Now pour the batter to the prepared bowls. Tap the bowls. Cover it with aluminium foil.
• Here we are going to steam it in a non-stick pan instead of using oven or a steamer. So heat a non stick pan  with some water. Keep a lid and once the water boils, keep the steel bowls with batter over it. 
• Steam cook it for 30 to 35 minutes with lid closed. Once the tooth pick inserted comes out clean, then the cake will be ready. 
• Meanwhile make the chocolate sauce.
• Add all those ingredients given under for making sauce in a pan except butter. Mix very well without any lumps. Few lumps are ok.
• Then heat it over a very low flame until it thickens slightly. You must stir this mixture Continuosly. Once it thicken slightly, add butter and combine well. Remove from flame. Pass it through a strainer and transfer it to a bowl. Set this aside.
• After 30 minutes or when the cake is cooked, take out the cake tin and pass a knife along it's side. You can wait for the cake to cool down. But I didnt. Invert it into a plate.
• Cover the cake with this prepared chocolate sauce . 
• Decorate with a teaspoon of condensed milk and can serve hot or cool.
• Really it's yummy.

KORMA RECIPE / MUTTON RECIPES - MALABAR MUTTON KURUMA

MUTTON KURUMA

My family loves  Mutto recipes very much. Especially mutton pepper roast ( kurumulakitta aatirachi) . I used to prepare mutton pepper roast whenever I buy fresh mutton. While selecting mutton for preparing any mutton curry recipe or for any mutton roast recipe , try to select tender mutton for best result. Kerala style mutton recipes especially Malabar style mutton recipes are very popular for its taste and aroma. Mutton korma or mutton Kuruma is an Indian dish which can be prepared in different taste and texture. Indian style mutton korma is entirely different from the Malabar mutton Kuruma. In Malabar mutton Kuruma , the addition of thick coconut milk or coconut mixture makes this mutton dish really special. Here I used thick coconut milk for the outstanding taste. Malabar mutton korma or Kerala style mutton korma pairs best with hit porotta or ghee rice. You can also make Beef korma or beef Kuruma following the same recipe. And can aldo add more chili powder if you prefer Indian style mutton Kuruma recipe.
