BREAD FRITTERS

Quite some time we had savoury fritters and this recipe by Zu's kitchen caught my attention. This is similar to bonda which is popular snack from South India. Bonda could be made with potato or other vegetables of your choice. Made it without egg but original one called for two small eggs. It's so flavorful and tasty, most importantly saving my bread from wastage.

CONDENSED MILK COOKIES

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.

CHOCOLATE RICE BARS

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.

SAMBAL CHICKEN

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.

Do adjust the chili used according to your taste.
