Eggless Oatmeal-Walnut Cookies

Finally I baked eggless oatmeal cookies...its been on my list for very long time, for some reason kept pushing. While searching for the recipe today I came across Chef in you , I liked the idea of roasting oatmeal and walnuts and grinding them to fine powder. The author has used maple syrup and rice syrup in the recipe. In order to replace these ingredients , I used Madhurams idea of adding sugar and honey. End result, my cookies turned out just great!!!!




Ingredient:


Oatmeal [quick cooking] - 1/2 Cup
Whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
Walnuts - 1/2 cup
Vegetable oil [Canola] - 2 tbsp
Honey - 2 tbsp
Brown or white Sugar - 2 tbsp
Raisins - 1/2 cup
Cinnamon powder - 1tsp
Vanilla extract - 1tsp
Salt - a pinch
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Method:
  • Soak raisins in water and keep it aside.
  • Combine walnuts and oats and dry roast in a pan until it turns little brown and emits aroma. Cool and grind in a blender to make powder. Add salt, baking soda and cinnamon powder
  • In a separate bowl blend oil, honey, sugar and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, soaked raisins and mix thoroughly with a spatula.
  • Make a dough, pinch out small balls [almost 8] , flatten in the center and place it on baking sheet at least 2 inch apart and bake in the center of the oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes. Mine were browned in 11 minutes.
  • Cool and store in air-tight containers...

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Homemade Diwali Diyas From Dough

HA P PY DI W AL I ! !! ! This year for Diwali I made diyas [Diwali lights] at home!! They came out pretty nice ! I prepared it very simple but you can get creative by painting, glue small mirrors , beads and other stuff. Here is how I prepared: Ingredients: Whole wheat flour Water-just enough to prepare the dough Food color - yellow [optional] Method: Pre-heat oven at 200 degree Fahrenheit. Line the baking tray/dish with un-greased foil Combine flour, water and color in a bowl to prepare little stiff dough Pinch out small balls from the dough and shape it into diyas Bake it in the oven for 20 minutes [during the process I gradually increased the baking temperature to 300] Cool diyas at room temperature The diyas should feel little hard, if not just leave it in the sun Roll out some cotton wool to make wick, add some oil and light your Diya !!! Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
