By now you all know I love a good blondie, almost as much as I love a good brownie. There are days you feel like enjoying that dense, moist, delicious dessert, minus the chocolate. Those are blondie days 🙂 They are super versatile and I just made a new version – this time with jam!
Double Chocolate & Coconut Cookies
Growing up, I was not a fan of the chocolate and coconut combo at all. Bounty was pretty much the only such option available and I just didn’t like how it tasted. So for me, the two flavours were not to be combined. Ever.
Fast forward, many years later, my preferences evolved and I was exposed to many different things that worked with chocolate and I also grew to enjoy coconut as an ingredient a lot more,in general. So when I was looking around for something different to bake last year, and I’d used coconut in cookies, cakes anyway, I decided to club it with chocolate as a cookie. Believe me, I was not prepared for how much I would like this 🙂
Spiced Cake with Mangoes & Cream Cheese
It’s the last mango dish for the year! Wrapping up this glorious season with a dessert of course 🙂 This cake is super easy to make but is very different from what you might be used to eating as a mango topped cake 🙂
Methi Rice
Yes, the rice lover is back! I’m always trying to find new ways to have rice and use it as a vehicle for flavour. It helps when it also becomes a way to improve my veggies & greens intake, like in this methi rice 🙂
Chura Matar (Flattened Rice & Peas)
Welcome to a slice of my childhood and to what is a quintessentially Bihari snack. Chura Matar (crispy flattened rice with sauteed peas) is one of the easiest, most delicious snacks you will ever try. Trust me.
