While you are doing this, add water to the instant pot and let it boil in Sautemode.Or you can add boiling water in inner pot and do rest same way.

IngredientsView Post

Idli Batter

1 .5 or 2 cup Water

Oil /ghee for Greasing

Method

Add water to the instant pot and heat it in saute mode until it boils.

While the water is heating, grease the idli molds with oil or ghee. Add small amount of batter in each mold.

Place the idli stand in the instant pot and cover the lid and cook it in steam mode High in venting position.

The thing to note is that the time on the instant pot does not work in the venting position, so you have to use a separate timer.

No Bake Banoffee Pie


Anyone “ll love this gorgeous Pie. With a buttery cookie crust, dulce de leche (milk based Caramel ) , fresh bananas, whipped cream and a chocolate savings .it’s the ultimate dessert.

It is an English dessert pie made from bananas, cream and toffee, combined either on a buttery biscuit base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter. Some versions of the recipe also include chocolate, coffee or both.

i am sharing my version of no bake banoffee pie recipe.

A biscuit layer followed by a layer of dulce de leche topped with bananas and finished off with a generous amount of whipped cream.

Ingredients

1 can Dulce de Leche or homemade caramel

2 Bananas

2 Cup Digestive Biscuits or graham crackers crumb

1/2 cup Melted butter

Whipped cream 

Chocolate shavings to garnish 

Method

Melt the butter. Crush the biscuits into crumbs using a food processor or put into a ziplock bag and crush using a rolling pin or palm . Pour over the melted butter and mix until well combined.

Spread mixture into a springform pan and flatten out over the bottom and sides and place in the fridge to cool and harden. The springform will help later in removing the pie

Keep pressing until you create an even base. Add biscuit crumbs along the cake tin sides and using a spoon, create a “wall”.Refrigerate for 30 minutes or till it set .

Spoon the dulce de leche over the biscuit base, Spread it over the chilled biscuit base. Cover with banana slices.

Spread whipped cream over the banana layer and place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes or overnight .

Finish it off with some chocolate shavings.
