Whole wheat almond butter cookies

I Made these whole wheat cookies with sliced almonds. It is so satisfying to bake something with whole wheat flour instead of maida, guilt free baking at its best..well yeah there's butter in it but still ;)..they are eggless too and I love eggless cookie and ice cream recipes for reasons unknown to me :) You can't really distinguish between these and regular APF butter cookies except for the color...they taste delicious. This recipe is from easycooking

Pound Cake

This cake is  wonderfully rich, moist, buttery with a lovely brown crust. Traditionally this cake is made with a pound of each ingredients:flour, eggs, butter and sugar..hence the name pound cake but that makes one huge cake...as long as the ratio is preserved it is fine to reduce the quantity to make a cake of desired size. So any cake made with a ratio of 1:1:1:1 of flour, sugar, butter, eggs is a pound  cake.

Prawns Fry

This is one super spicy recipe loved and relished by my whole family and extended  family...a friend's mother who hails from Nellore, Andhra Pradesh (people of that region eat notoriously spicy food!) taught this years back and I have been dishing it up ever since ...very few simple ingredients but great flavour ...

Burger Buns

Hmmm this time I decided to make burgers from the scratch and after some research online I decided on this recipe from King Arthur Flour Website..I halved the original recipe as I did not want 8 buns and i really regret doing that ...these buns are so easy to make and they are so light and fluffy and tasty  that 8 buns are definitely not more for a family of 4 ;)

Strawberry Jam

Ingredients:
Chopped strawberries- 1 cup
Sugar-1 cup

Yes you are right just 2 ingredients, and this is how you use just these two ingredients to make this delicious jam

Natu Kodi Pulusu/Country Chicken Curry

This is an absolutely easy and spicy chicken curry you can make and I made it on kanuma, the third day of sankranthi...in rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, which is my in laws place, they serve either this curry or mutton Pulusu/curry with vadas on kanuma..this recipe is from my mother though

Bisibelebath

This is a classic karnataka one pot meal served piping hot with Khara boondi mostly , I am not a big fan of boondi and I serve it with sandige/ vadiyalu or with potato chips...I hav'nt come across a person who does not relish this spicy rice dish yet.. I got this recipe from an aunt of mine and i make it at least twice every month for breakfast

Marble Bundt Cake

 This cake is my favorite of the cakes i have  baked so far, I love plain vanilla cake and my kids love chocolate cake..with this cake you can have the best of both worlds :)
It is definitely not as complicated as it looks, make a regular vanilla cake batter, divide the batter into 2 equal portions, add the melted chocolate to one half of the batter..that's it!
