My Tip: 

  • You can add chopped french beans, chopped red/ yellow bellpepper or cabbage also. 
  • Lemon juice can be used instead of vinegar.
  • If you want to use any red-meat, then it will take little more time to boil. 
  • Here cornflour is used as a thickening agent in soup, so it can be omitted if you don't want it in soup.
  • Cornflour is used in chicken minced as a binding agent. Instead of that all purpose flour can also be used.
  • If you don't have chicken stock, vegetable stock/ plain water can be used instead of that.

Christmas Cake (Part-1): Dry Fruits Soaking in Rum

-
Image
Its the time to soak dry fruit in alcohol(dark Rum/ whisky/ Brandy/ red wine). Traditionally, dry fruit should be soaked 3 months before the Christmas. But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake. It is very important to allow the cake to be matured by feeding with alcohol. After baking some tiny wholes will be made with a skewer to feed the cake. Brush the cake with alcohol twice in a week after baking. Here I am using Rum to soak the fruit and will do the feeding after baking the cake with Rum. If you don't want to use alcohol, instead of this you can use ora...
