Chocolate chip Melting Moments


This is one of the famous cookie recipes loved by all in my family. I make this often and stock it.  I love to do the traditional cookie dip in steaming tea.


I think, I have been bitten by the baking bug as these days I am continuously baking some new dishes..:) It has become a habit that after coming from office, my Husband asks for any baked goodies. I am learning so many new recipes from all the books, diaries, so many websites, help from my Mom and so on..


These simple, yet delicious cookies got its name since they literally melt in the mouth and are heavenly. The wonderful aroma of these cookies while baking it in the oven fills the house that we cannot resist emptying the whole bunch of cookies. I am not worried about the oodles of weight that we are gaining after eating these butter cookies. I usually think once in a while its ok, but it ends up to be way too often :-)

These are also known as cornstarch cookies. I have added chocolate chips, as I love to bite into the gooey chocolaty chips.


Ingredients:
  1. All purpose flour / Maida- ½ cup
  2. Corn Flour- ¼ cup
  3. Chocolate Chips- ¼ cup
  4. Butter- ¼ cup
  5. Powdered Sugar- ¼ cup
Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.
  2. Take butter and sugar in a bowl and beat well till fluffy and creamy.
  3. Add all purpose flour, corn flour and chocolate chips in the above butter mixture and mix well.
  4. Keep aside for some time and make small balls out of the dough and flatten them and place them on the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for about 20- 25 minutes or till it turns little brown on the edges. Remove from oven and cool them on wire rack and store them in air tight containers.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
