Eggless Lemon Clove Cookies

A tasty, quick recipe. My house was so aromatic from the cloves and it was so festive.. This recipe will give around 70 cookies. A perfect cookie to be on parties.. I got this recipe from here and made some changes..

Jowar Ki Paniyaram

Jowar ki paniyaram is an interesting jowar dish. You will not be able to spot the jowar taste and it is very quick to make.. The recipe will be good for 3 people. The best side dish is onion tomato chutney and is a must to go along.

Applesauce Breakfast Bread

Applesauce Breakfast Bread is a great and sweet bread that is perfect for a snack or for breakfast. I did not add any nuts, but will add next time. It was very very moist and sweetness was just correct. Served with honey was a pleasure to enjoy. I have used flax seed for egg substitute

Munthiri Maamudi (peerkangai gravy dish)

Some dishes are so interesting that you want to do them right away.. I always buy peerkangay and make thuvayal from it and when I saw this recipe in a TV show, I could not resist making it. It has a very interesting and distinct taste and goes very well with pulao or roti. The name mentioned in the cooking show was little different than what I have put here, but I loved this new derived name, so I kept it.

Spiced Pear Chutney

I have never tried to make chutneys from Pear. For me Pear was always a fruit to either eat as is or in a salad.. I saw this in a book (do not remember which one) and was very fascinated by it. It tasted so good and delicious..

Apple Jam

Jam is a great spread for breads. It is pretty easy to do and can be stored in a glass container for couple of weeks without the preservatives. If preservative is added (Sodium Benzoate) is added, then it can be stored for months. Use powdered pectin for jam. It will thicken a little when cooled and give the perfect jam consistency.

Orange Granita–Ice cream (very low fat)

How about an ice cream without cream and without ice cream maker and with very very less sugar??? Very interesting... Need an ice cream with no cream (or very very less) and with very less sugar – this will be it. Also I tried this ice cream with sugar substitute and it was equally good and you can make this with ingredients that are in most homes. I have served this both as is and also topped it with whip cream. So whip cream is totally optional.. From Wiki – “Granita (in Italian also granita siciliana) is a semi-frozen dessert made from sugar, water and various flavorings. Originally from Sicily, although available all over Italy (but granita in Sicily is somewhat different from the rest of Italy), it is related to sorbet and Italian ice. However, in most of Sicily, it has a coarser, more crystalline texture.”
