Cocoa Almond cookies

These melt in mouth cookies were an accidental one when I was on my way to bake some macaroons. I used the similar steps as macaroons, but my quantity of egg whites was more than the macaroons needed and I was thinking now what will I do with the batter. But even if it was flowy, just pipe it with some space between.

We got the best ever cookies I made, and that too Almond one. Another guilt free version of cookies, as there is no gluten flour going in. I was a little upset as my macaroon experiment was a failure. But to my surprise this was most loved at home, especially by my hubby. I cooled them and packed in a cookie tin and not even took photos of it first. Then for evening tea, I asked him to give it a try and was explaining sadly about my failed experiment.

He was a bit hesitated to taste it first, as he was going to try a failure :P but after the first bite itself, he asked me, "are there more". First I thought it is a sarcastic tone, but realized that this guy loved it so much, when he was going one after the other cookie.

Now I am confident to take the snaps of it, and Gauthu was all supportive for the photo shoot. He did even wait for having his tea, to complete the photo shoot, as his tea was one of the props for the photo ;)

So don't hesitate to make it yourselves too. You would enjoy for sure and its my guarantee that not even a single piece would go waste :)

Ingredients:
Almond flour - 2 cups
Confectioneries sugar - 1 cup
Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup
Eggs - 3 whites + 1 white extra
Salt to taste
Castor sugar - 1 cup

Method:
Sift together almond flour, confectioneries sugar and cocoa. Add one egg white to it and mix well.

Whip together 3 egg whites and salt till frothy. Add sugar little by little and whip until stiff peaks. This is the meringue.

Gently fold in meringue to almond mix. Fill the batter in a piping bag and pipe into cookies, on a cookie sheet lines with parchment. It would be flowy, so keep atleast 2 inch space in between. Allow it to set for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake in preheated oven at 180 C for 15 minutes.

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made. It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds. I dont think anyone can go wrong with this recipe.

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...
