मराठीमध्ये वाचण्यासाठी इथे क्लिक करा Recently I discovered magic and power of library system here. The minute I stepped into library I knew I am going to pick lot of books and variety of topics. I must have spent more than 5 hours that week just browsing through books and selecting what all I like. I got this book on the desserts and it had this recipe. First time I made, I tried word to word with few changes in ingredients but this time I changed the proportion of butter, maida as well. I loved how nice and crispy it turned out. We are now set for atleast a week of 4pm snacks :) Ingredients 3/4 Cup Butter 2.25 Cup Sugar 6.25 Cup Maida 2 Spoon Baking Powder 2 Lemon's Zest 4 Eggs 1 Cup Almonds 1 Cup Pistachios 1 Cup Craisins 2 Spoon Fennel Seeds 1 Spoon Salt Method Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Beat butter and sugar together until combined, about a minute. Add in Maida, baking powder, salt and lemon zest and beat again till mixed well. Add in one egg at a time and beat till mixed well

Today the snow returned, and then the light. I sat for a time in the backyard, watching the snowflakes sparkle in the sun while they fell from the sky like tiny stars.   This time of year is a tease. While eastern and northern folks don't even hope for signs of spring until April, we often see movement in late February. The snow melts, and even as the frost comes and goes, the most opportunistic plants push forth. It is not unusual to see the green of chickweed and little chive shoots this soon (delightful in an early-spring potato salad.) But this morning, glancing at the inches of snow lingering on the garden beds, I realize that I'm still in for a bit of a wait for those green gifts.  I'm making potato salad anyway. I've had my head down these last weeks - working my way through winter the only way I know how.  Shovel snow, feed the birds (and now the hungry ducks and deer come too,) trudge along through year-end and tax-time work at the office, snuggle cats, light

मराठीमध्ये वाचण्यासाठी इथे क्लिक करा I was looking to bake something new and yet something that would be ready in couple of hours. This turned out amazing twist to the lemon bars I had made last month. Since with lemon bars I felt the presence of egg was too strong for my liking, I was interested in something that would use less egg and that's when I decided to create these using fusion of cheese cake and bar. I cant believe that this was my so far the most bold *experiment*given that I was to serve the friends who were coming over for dinner right away without any margin to recover but thankfully this turned out really great. Ingredients 1 Cup Butter 2.25 Cup Sugar 1.5 Egg 1.5 cup Maida 2.5 Spoon Vanilla Essence 2.75 Cup Pecans 12Oz Cream Cheese 2 Pears 1/2 Spoon Cinnamon Powder Method Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Using handheld mixer cream the butter till very fluffy and light. Add in 2/3 cup of sugar and cream further. Add in 1 spoon of vanilla essence, sieved Maida and cream fur

मराठीमध्ये वाचण्यासाठी इथे क्लिक करा I had made this as a starter few months back as it had been quite some time I had made something new with bhendi. This turned out quite nice and I actually made this twice again after that.. Ingredients 2 handful Bhendi 6 Garlic Cloves Salt to taste Method Wash bhendi and cut their heads. In a pan of hot oil, fry these till light brown in color. Pull them out of oil on the tissues. Once all bhendis are fried, take very little oil in the pan and keep it going on the heat. Add in the coarsely chopped garlic and stir for a minute. Add in fried bhendis and salt to taste and stir for another 3-4 minutes till crispy. Notes Use tender bhendis as they will taste better when fried and eating by themselves.
