EGGLESS CHOCOLATE WALNUT BROWNIE

Eggless Chocolate Walnut Brownie was on my mind for a very very long time… but somehow I could never get my hands on it.  But this time I decided to bake one for myself on my birthday.  My daughter did the taste test this morning and gave me a thumbs up… I felt really happy as I don’t bake often.  And yes, today I am going to meet my childhood friend, what best gift one can carry on such occasion when you have home baked brownies!!!!  So, here is my Eggless Chocolate Walnut Brownie recipe. 

GAJAR HALWA (CARROT HALWA)

 

Yummmm….. I love gajar halwa specially the one which my appa makes probably because apart from the ingredients he also puts all of love into the making.  Every year I eagerly wait for winters … juicy, red and sweet carrot season.  In bangalore we get these red carrots as Delhi carrots… Delhi carrots !!!  Being from Delhi, it sounds so weird to me… anyways.. carrots are carrots and I look for reasons to make carrot halwa. Amount of sugar depends on the sweetness you like… I don’t like too sweet carrot halwa, hence I put about 3/4 of a cup.  You can adjust the amount to your taste.

SABUDANA ALOO TIKKI

My Mother-in-law is born and brought up in Maharashtra, so many of her recipes would have that maharashtrian touch.  My mother never made sabudana tikki or vada (courtesy no internet).  So, I had my first sabudana tikki after marriage at my in-laws place and I liked it very much.  And now I make it every now and then for my little princess. You can shallow fry it, deep fry it, bake it, steam it…. no matter how it is made… will still taste good.

KHARA (SAVORY) BISCUIT

Bored of baking sweet / sugary cookies, I decided to bake some spicy biscuits… and got this recipe from my friend and it came out so cute, lovely and spicy that every one at my place liked it.  It doesn’t have any raising agent and required very less fat.  My husband prefers spice over sweet and so he liked it so much… crunchy and spicy khara biscuit.

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP–MOCHA COOKIES

Also called drop cookies, these are probably the simplest cookies to make.  They are called drop cookies because the dough is soft enough to drop off the spoon on to the baking sheet.  Created in the 1930s, these were originally called Toll House Cookies.
