Eggless sugar cookies-4

This is going to be a “super” quick one (I had to use the word super, you know since its superbowl sunday). One because my wrist is not allowing me to type too much. Two, today is Downton Abbey and Sherlock Day (besides Superbowl Sunday). And three I am way too tired. But since I had promised my friend that I will be posting this recipe soon, I am here keeping that promise.

A while back when I had posted about a sugar cookie recipe (with eggs), somebody else had also asked for an eggless sugar cookie recipe. This one is also for you.

Taste wise these were pretty good. Actually very good. Would not have guessed they were eggless and I ended up having quite a few while “taste-testing”. I wasn’t too adventurous with the shape (and will definitely get back to you when I have tested this recipe with more complicated shapes) but the recipe did hold the square and round shape pretty well and there was no spreading. Its also a very easy recipe to throw together and with results this good, you definitely should try it. And do let me know how it goes!

Pumpkin and oatmeal cookies-5Remember the Vanilla and Star cookies I had posted about a few weeks back.

And the lemon and almond eggless cookies.

Also the coconut and jam hearts? I had made all these three cookies and put them in boxes for my friends for christmas.

Along with these I had also added the pumpkin and oatmeal cookies that I am sharing with you today.

I got the recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction’s blog. I love her blog and everything on it. She is a sprinkles lover. And that itself is reason enough for me to be her fan. The funfetti cupcakes with chocolate malt frosting I have shared before were adapted from a recipe on her blog. They were a big hit and so were these.

Steamed Chicken MomosSteamed Chicken Momos | The Novice Housewife

Kickstarting the new year with the first Garam Masala Tuesdays post of 2014 and I promise I will TRY to be more regular with it!

I have done a vegetarian version of momos before (and all the people who think meat versions are the only way to go, really need to give the vegetarian version I posted earlier a try). Today I thought I will share a chicken version.

As mentioned in that post, yes I am aware that momos or dumplings or dimsums- whatever you may call them- their origins are not Indian, but they are very much a part of Indian cuisine if you ask for my opinion. And whatever position you take on the origins of this dish, there is no denying that momos have always been popular as a cheap snack food in much of North and Eastern India and very much loved by all.
