Jeera Biscuits / Cumin Flavored Cookies



Being a sweet tooth family,we love to have salty version of cookies a lot than the sugar cookies.When we were in NJ used to get these biscuits from the popular shop Hot breads.But after moving to PA miss those goodies a lot.But never forget to visit the shop when we are travelling to NJ.
Coming to this recipe I noted down roughly when I was watching this in a T.V show long time back and slightly altered it to our taste.In the original recipe,a tbs of custard powder is used and the amount of sugar given is around 6 tbs.Since I ran out of custard powder,didn't use it,the cookies were so crunchy and turned out good.This cookies stayed fresh even after two weeks,lets move on to the recipe................................................

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
