Choco blast

 Chocolate Cakes are the best - easy to bake and children just love it!! 

But this time it was cookies - after endless spoilt batches - though edible ones - I managed this recipe which is kind of perfect. Kids loved it, and it was quite easy to make. So, this one has been booked for a repeat for my sons birthday, by him...😈

Talking about birthdays - it just came to my mind....what has happened to the phrase - “ 1 was taken by the pleasant surprise”. Well no one wants surprises these days. Everything is so so planned and everyone wants calculated moves. 

Isn’t that boring!! Why can’t you leave the gifts as surprise - and why demand something to be given to you as per your list 😬. I mean where is the fun part, the excitement of opening a gift wrap and discovering what the other person has got for you!! Or what the other person has planned for you.

Sulk!! Sulk!! My kiddos are always ready with a list of what they want for their birthdays. Whereas, I think, they get all the things they want, through out the year, unlike us 😏. Then birthdays should be a surprise thing. Once in a while let others plan things for you.😑

I believe, the surprise element intensifies your emotions. Be it any kind of pleasant surprise, It adds the beautiful memories to your relationship. It means, other person cares so much about you, so as to give time and plan certain things for you. I fail to understand this current generation and their fascination for the all the calculated moves!!

Wait a second!!..Sounding like generation gap!!😐. Nopes!!  It feels as if just yesterday I used to tell my mom - "You don't understand anything, as you belong to a different generation" 😆

Ohk!! That being that, this thought I would dismiss, as I belong to all generations 💪 ...young at heart forever....and ready to plan as many surprises as I can for my people!!  

So, for now, here comes the comphhhlete Choco blast cookies for you all....


240 gms - Maida

1 tsp - Cornstarch 

1 tsp - Baking Soda

150 gms - Butter (room temprature)

200 gms - Brown Sugar  

1 - Egg

1 tsp - Vanilla Essence

1 tsp - Maple Syrup

220 gms - Sweet Chocolate Chips (Some of them as big chunks)

         Add all the dry ingredients, but keep chocolate chips aside in a bowl inside fridge.

                       Add sugar and eggs together and beat them to mix well. Now add Egg, Vanilla essence and maple syrup. Mix them all well. For adding dry ingredients use a big spoon or spatula. Just fold all the dry ingredients little by little. Finally take out the the chocolate chips and mix with a spoon. 

                      Keep this dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours. It should be firm when you put it in oven. After 2 hours, take it out and roll it in the shape of a cylindrical cutlet. Keep them in standing position on the butter paper for baking. Size will depend on how big you want your cookies to be. I have taken 2 tbsp dough per piece.

                      Keep the trey in the oven with 180 for 15 minutes 😋. 

                      Once done, keep them out for 1 hour for complete cooling.

                      Get set ....ready to hog!!




This is how the dough will look.









 Roll and Keep like this on the butter paper

 And there it goes....Yummy!!!

Bun Buns

 Yes, bun buns, as we had started calling my little princess.  Actually her sleep cycle took ages to settle down, ditto with these buns. So, the name struck...😆 Well, when I started the "breade-thon" pavs really took time to crack. And I see, that with each batch it keeps getting better and better. So in this awesome weather right now, rains and clouds and so much greenery, its the right time for some Mumbai style vada pavs.  So, today I decided to repeat my baked vada pav session. However after baking half the batch, I thought may be I can fry a few vadas, as pavs are baked anyways 😈. Finally ended up frying half of the vadas. Obviously it tasted better. So, we had the spread of both, baked and fried - Balance!! Right!!  Well check out this recipe - and you will love it.  Bread Flour - 550 gms Sugar - 1 tsp Milk Powder - 2 tsp Malt powder - 1 tsp Salt - 1.5 tsp Yeast - 2.5 tsp Unsalted butter - 2 tbsp Lukewarm Milk - 110 ml Lukewarm Water - 100 ml Extra Flour...

Strawberry Mascarpone tart recipe

 Amongst many other things people learnt during this lock down - is introspection! 😈😆.  I think that was the best thing to learn. It made everyone a lot calmer and non judgemental about many issues we face on day to day basis. Biggest example being the house help not cleaning things properly on a regular basis 😬.  Then I observed with no help when I started doing it, my best move was, making short cuts 3rd day onwards....😝.  So, just going to and fro with these thoughts, I thought about our moms generation who had just stepped out to work. Everything was under their forte - their new portfolio - a job, and expected portfolio - children plus household work! There was no option of outsourcing much, and surprisingly no complaints too!!  And, here we are,  the privileged ones!!  Well, with these threads I stepped into the kitchen...and today whipped up the amazing strawberry pie!  Amazing! Yes!! anything and everything with fresh fruits would be s...

The Camp...

So, when it all started - Kids were a little confused!  Is it possible that we cannot order from outside - and why?  Weekends were like - at least (l repeat “at the least!!) one meal coming from outside, and rest of the time in-house help to cook anything  😬 . And we all have gotten used to of this lifestyle for many moons now.  It was different during our times - yea yea yea blah blah blah - “same old grannies story  😅 ” - that’s my daughter’s reaction!! So, won’t repeat it here  😆 .  Anyways, keeping in mind, that junk food as it is, is a concern, I tried to play it well with the safety issues sixer!!  So the stories - “and they were/are true” - about how it’s not safe to order at all, went down, pretty well.  Say, It’s the need of the hour, and, it also solved my underlying concern - “no junk food.”  😇   In Hindi we have that phrase for it - “Ek teer do nishaane.”  😶😝 Wow!! What a bliss it was - for initial 2 days!!...
