I have been on the hunt for the perfect whole wheat cookies for over a year now. A girl can only eat so many cookies, though, so it has been a long and slow process that paused during a crazy hot summer. In my attempt to narrow down the possibilities, I searched around for the highest authorities on chocolate chip cookies and sampled the most promising cookie recipes I could find....

Yes now we are in hot summers and I am sharing this recipe which has been in the drafts for too long....

This post isn’t sponsored by any of the brands you see highlighted, I’m just sharing what I truly love and use in the kitchen....
What is Nankhatai Nankhatai is a popular tea time cookie that can easily be found in most Indian bakery shops, especially during Diwali. More commonly known as Indian shortbread cookies or biscuits, nankhatai is one of those classic, nostalgic family favorite recipes that everyone loves.

Growing up, even when ovens were a rarity, all the neighborhood kids would look forward to the huge trays of warm, fresh nankhatai....

Ok. Of all things S’mores… This is the most holy. Because Nutella happened to cross paths with them and make them into the most beautiful, sinful things I could ever have imagined. I haven’t made Crepes in a while, and I really wanntetd’em. It seems I’m still on a sugar kick/high from all the Nutella recipes I’ve been creating for you guys. And in typical me fashion, I can’t do normal and simple....
Here the onions are cut in rings, batter coated and deep fried. Thus onion bajji tastes different than onion pakora where sliced onions are used. The batter is made with gram flour, rice flour, spices and herbs. Rice flour helps in giving a more crispy texture. This results in onion bajji having a soft inside with a crispy outer texture. The spices and seasonings can be easily adjusted to your taste preferences....

Small portions of the batter are later deep fried to perfection. Adding leavening ingredients to the batter, like baking soda gives a light and soft texture. While I do not add baking soda to the batter, feel free to add it if you prefer....

The dough is not leavened or fermented, so it’s a wonderfully quick and easy bread to make. Small balls of dough are rolled and flattened, and quickly fried in hot oil. The poori puffs up to create light, crispy pillows that just beg to be bitten into....
2019 update: I actually recommend following my authentic tabbouleh recipe instead of this one (see the recipe notes for quinoa instructions). Over the years, I’ve learned a few tricks to making better tabbouleh, and you’ll find those in my other post. This summer, my A/C window units are failing miserably in their fight against the relentlessly hot weather and the heat produced by my kitchen appliances. Every time I turn on the stove, I sweat up a storm and curse the heat, but I’m not about to give up and go out to eat for every meal....

Trying to eat better this year? I know, it’s extra-hard when it’s freezing cold outside and delivery pizza is just one call away. This warm, fresh yet hearty salad is the perfect solution. It packs well for lunch, too. I really love the combination of garlicky farro with roasted cauliflower and salty feta and olives. Farro is an ancient grain related to wheat that you should be able to find in the health section of grocery stores....
Meet my favorite pumpkin soup recipe. It’s super creamy (thanks mostly to the pumpkin, with a little help from coconut milk or cream) yet plenty healthy, too. It’s gently spiced, but I made sure that the pumpkin flavor shines above the rest. This dairy-free pumpkin soup would be a welcome addition to your holiday table. It would be equally at home with a soup or sandwich from fall through winter....
Set dosa also reminds me of Davangere Benne Dosa. I have had Davanagere Benne Dosa with the spicy coconut chutney and the delish potato stuffing. It was so good that we still remember the taste of it till now. Our first tryst with set dosa was in Bangalore, in one of the local hotels. Served with Vegetable Sagu (a flavorful mix vegetable curry) – it was a delight to have these super soft dosa as they soaked the veg sagu gravy like a sponge....
