Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

By
These eggless peanut butter chocolate cookies are the best thing to happen in my kitchen for a while now. They’re so delicious and easy to bake. The cookie dough comes together in no time.



The recipe calls for dark cocoa powder and for this I have used Indian Natives Absolute Dark Cocoa Powder. This Cocoa is grown in the farmlands located in the river banks of Anaimalai, Tamil Nadu. The farm is 100% pesticide free and organic and managed in a sustainable way.


These cookies are chewy, easy to make, delicious, chocolaty, crisp on the edges, and most certainly addictive!


The only patience-testing part of making these eggless peanut butter cookies is the resting period. I rested my dough in the for 30 mins. Don’t skip this step otherwise the cookies will spread too much in the oven.


Ingredients:
75 gms butter, room temperature,
50 gms caster sugar​​,
50 gms brown sugar,​​
65 gms peanut butter,
35 gms fresh cream,
3 gms vanilla,
3 gms salt,
1.5 gms baking soda,
80 gms flour,
30 gms cocoa powder,
80 gms dark chocolate,


Method:

  1. Cream the butter, sugars, and peanut butter together till light and fluffy.
  2. Add the fresh cream and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  3. Add in the dry ingredients and the chopped chocolate and combine well to get nice cookie dough.
  4. Portion the dough into 40g portions and roll into balls.
  5. Place on a tray with silicon mat or parchment paper.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bake at 170C for 14 to 16 minutes.

Note:
  • Use the exact ingredients as per the list in the exact proportions.
  • Keeping the dough in the fridge is an important step that shouldnt be missed. This will ensure you get a good thick cookie instead of a flat one.
  • Use a weighing scale to measure the ingredients.
  • Don't compromise on the quality of peanut butter, cocoa or dark chocolate AT ALL.

Authentic Bhajani Chakli | Chakli Recipe | Maharashtrian Chakli Recipe

By
 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.

Rice and lentils are washed, air dried and then dry roasted over slow heat along with cu...

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
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

By
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 ...
