Crunch Munch with Eggless Chocolate Crunch Cookies

These eggless chocolate cookies are not the chewy kinds.  They are more of crunchy cookies, like chips.  Call these Chocolate Cookie Chips, instead of chocolate chip cookies.  But after the crunchy bite, they melt in your mouth.


These Chocolate Crunch Cookies from Shobha Indani's recipe don't require too many ingredients & are very quick and simple to make.  You can either roll the soft cookie dough out & then use a cookie cutter to cut into desired shape, or roll into balls & flatten like I did.

I hope I have made the procedure seem very easy - because making these eggless cookies really IS easy!


Eggless Chocolate Cookies - easy, crunchy, yummy

Strawberry-Ginger Lemonade Recipe

On the night of 1st January 2012, just when I returned to the hotel after an unbelievably, horribly unlucky night at the casino, I saw an e-mail from Siri in my inbox titled "Congratulations - You won the Joy of Cooking cookbook give away".

I instantly forgot all the $$$ lost and was joyfully dancing for the Joy of Cooking!


Dosa Disaster!

My mother makes really good South Indian food.  So does my mother-in-law.  My father also loves making and having South Indian cuisine every weekend.  Idli, dosa, various kinds of chutneys, pesarattu, vada, sambar, rassam, and I don't know a lot of other names.  It's his love for all of that after having lived in Hyderabad for 20 years.

Unfortunately, I didn't learn cooking some good South Indian food from any of them.  However, today I thought of surprising my husband with some dosa and sambar for lunch.  The sambar came out delicious, as per the recipe, but the dosa was a disaster for me.  I thought it would be as easy as making pancakes, but dosa-making, let me rephrase, perfect dosa-making is an art, people.
