I'm on the look out for new cookies recipes. Never tried using condensed milk for baking.

 At last decided to bake  Condensed Milk Cookies  and it turns out quite delicious, had cracks on top. Added black sesame seed but chopped nut or chocolate chip are best alternatives.

Photobucket

It's already past midnight but my son is asking to bake something since he was staying late for the soccer match and manage to cook this bar in a jiffy. The result is quite pleasing and my son gives a thumb up! Besides chocolate rice you could use chocolate chip instead.

Hello everyone, how do you do? Hope everything are fine...

Another chicken dish to go along with tomato rice if not it's a great dip with bread, naan or prata. This dish does not use curry powder at all but used blended dry chili which is the most important ingredient along with chopped tomatoes thus resulting an attractive red color. Do adjust the chili used according to your taste.

500g (1 lb) chicken pieces
2 cardamoms
1 stick cinnamon
2 tomatoes chopped
2 big onion sliced
3 tablespoons chili paste
1 tablespoon ginger and garlic paste
3 tablespoons oil
coriander leaf for garnish
salt and lemon juice to marinate
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

METHOD

1. Marinate the chicken with salt, lemon juice and turmeric.

2. Heat the oil, fry cardamom, cinnamon followed by onion until fragrant.

3. Add in ginger, garlic and tomato, fry until soft. Now add the chili paste, stir until the oil floats on top.

4. Pour the chicken pieces, stir and cover the pot.

5. Water could be added if you want more gravy, once chicken is soft remove from heat, sprinkle the coriander leaves. Enjoy.....

OAT PANCAKE AND MORE AWARD


Hello everyone...

Pancake is quite simple to prepare but it is time consuming if you were to cook for large families since you have to fry it one by one. Pancake could be taken with sweet topping either with honey or maple syrup and another one eaten with hot spicy gravy which is what I have prepared today. We ate this with sambar and chutney. We truly enjoyed our simple and healthy meal.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup rolled oat (grind)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
2 cups water
2 green chili chopped
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
salt to taste
olive oil for greasing

METHOD

1. Combine together oat, flour, green chili, coriander leaves and salt in a mixing bowl.

2. Gradually add water, stir until well mixed. Keep for 30 minutes.

3. Heat a non stick pan, add one teaspoon oil then pour a ladleful of batter, same method when you cook dosa, when bubble appears on top flip and cook the other side.

4. Continue the process until the batter is used up.

5. Serve hot with your favorite gravy. Enjoy!
