Almond Chia cookies




Sesame fudge uses tahini.
Tahini can be home made.

The book has the origin of Tamarind as Tamar hindi - Indian date. Why should tangy tamarind be mistaken for dates when there are dates grown in India.

Pantry says - no sesame seeds.

I ended up making pistachio sesame cookies.

Only those werent what I had in my pantry.
So they go by the name of Almond Chia cookies.
If you are wondering where the almonds are. They are holding up the cookie like Atlas. Barazek. I used my hand to make the dough into a ball. I wonder how adding sugar by way of syrup changes the cookie dynamics.

When I first flipped through the pages of the book. The first dessert that piqued me was Coconut semolina cake. Just recently I had bakshalu made with coconut and semolina. This needed baking. So I was interested in finding out the end result.
I also made Roasted semolina pudding which is a very simple dessert mostly made by Indian women during fasting days. But I was surprised to find the ratio of 1/2 cup semolina o 3 cups water. I thought that much water would be an overkill, but its surprising to see how it all sets in the end despite the belief on the cook's part.

I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
