Oatmeal - Raisin Cookies

Well folks, its a brand new year and this is my first recipe post...I haven't blogged for sometime now..mostly because I was out-of-station. I've been getting lots of calls and emails from friends and relatives saying that they were missing my recipes.. :) I'm happy..I'm excited..Well atleast some of my friends and family follow my blogs..:)

I wanted to start this year's blog with a sweet recipe..and decided to make this wonderful Oatmeal-Raisin cookie from Martha's website. I had bookmarked this recipe long back..and decided to try it out.


I did not make any alterations to the original recipe except that I used quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats and altered the temperature a little bit.

Ingredients: Makes 3 doz
1/2 cup flour,
1/4 tsp salt,
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder,
1/2 tsp baking powder,
1/2 tsp baking soda,
1/2 cup unsalted butter,
1/2 cup brown sugar,
1/4 cup granulated sugar,
1/2 tbsp vanilla essence,
1-1/2 tbsp milk,
1 egg,
1-1/2 cup rolled oats (I've used Quaker quick oats, so I've used a little more than 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup raisins,

Method:
1.) Sift the flour, salt, cinnamon powder, baking powder, and baking soda together and set aside.
2.) Line a baking sheet with butter paper. Preheat the oven at 200 degree centigrade for 10 mins.
3.) Cream the butter and both the sugars together. Add the egg and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla essence and beat well.
4.) Slowly add the flour mixture and mix well. Add the raisins and oats and mix well.
5.) Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture leaving enough space for the cookies to expand.
6.) Bake for 10-15 mins or until the sides start to turn brown.
7.) Allow it to cool for 5-8 mins and then remove.

Sneek Peek:


They result was outstanding...Slightly chewy and slightly crusty..I loved the taste..I think it would have tasted even better if I used old-fashioned oats..Too good!!!

Authentic Bhajani Chakli | Chakli Recipe | Maharashtrian Chakli Recipe

 Chakli is a delightfully scrumptious snack that is often made in India during Diwali festival. Also known as Chakri, these spiral shaped crunchy snacks are made using the perfect blend of lentils and spices. Deep fried to a golden brown perfection, chaklis are lightly spiced with turmeric and chili packing in an explosion of flavors in every bite. Different parts of India have variations of this recipe. For example, in South India, Murukku(Chakli) is made using rice flour and a mild seasoning of salt and asafoetida. In Gujarat, Chakri is made with whole wheat flour or rice flour. In Maharashtra it is made with Bhajani, a special homemade flour. Chakli is easily one of the most popular Indian Diwali snack AKA faral and is best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of tea. What is Bhajani? Traditional Maharashtrian Chakli is made with a special homemade flour of rice and lentils called Bhajani. Rice and lentils are washed, air dried and then dry roasted over slow heat along with cu...

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Sesame Seed Pellets - Til Ke Laddu

Happy Makar Sankranti & Pongal to all!!! Makar Sankranti is perhaps the only Indian festival whose date always falls on the same day every year i.e. the 14th of January. Can you guess why? This is because the festival of Sankranti is based on the solar calendar unlike the rest of Indian festivals, which are based on the lunar calendar. Makar literally means "Capricorn" and Sankranti is the day when the Sun changes it's position from one sign of the Zodiac to the other. Even though Sankranti comes every month, in the month of Magha (January) it is considered especially auspicious as it coincides with the harvest season and marks the end of the winter season. (Info: Google) Being a South Indian, I've relived the happiness and joy of Pongal every year... Though I did make chakara pongal which is customary in our house, I also decided to make Til Ke Laddu or tilgul . The sesame seed or til is given a lot of importance because in this season it is considered ...
