I used bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) instead of baking powder (since I store them in similar jars). The result was a peanut cookie with the texture of naan kataai.

Someone told me to heat the oven, turn it down, then set the boiled milk inside overnight. They never told me to turn the oven off!! Of course, like your cookies that refused to budge, I had a nice milk cake of sorts and a pot to place in the dust bin!!Jen Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735589129433554766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12940096.post-10059895043021164832008-05-28T03:34:00.000+01:002008-05-28T03:34:00.000+01:00Oh BOY can I relate.

Let me just say - "Improvising does not work when baking." Oh, it works gloriously with savory foods. But butter, eggs, sugar and the like - their alchemy is a stubborn little cliquey thing that doesn't take well to new arrivals or changing up the mix. At any rate, these look great. If I get over my fear of baking I may try them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12940096.post-70829742917654674952008-05-26T16:22:00.001+01:002008-05-26T16:22:00.001+01:00Oh Shammi, that lemon cookie story is just too goo...Oh Shammi, that lemon cookie story is just too good.

Perhaps I make it seem simpler than it is, but when it comes to food, just as you say, all that matters is how good something tastes-or not. <BR/>Your comment reminded me of another lovable trait of Mum’s-her tendency to not exclude anyone or anything on basis of these religious distinctions. I say this in particular because she was miles ahead of her ‘elite’ counterparts, not even having gone to graduate school. I loved her philosophy of ‘Sarvam Brahmamayam’; especially in the kitchen, where the distinctions between ‘Smartha’ or ‘Iyengar’ or whatever else were blurred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12940096.post-57364269633103898012008-05-19T18:40:00.000+01:002008-05-19T18:40:00.000+01:00You could always visit, you know…. ;)You could always visit, you know…. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12940096.post-74854432440238294462008-05-19T13:27:00.000+01:002008-05-19T13:27:00.000+01:00I have always loved peanut butter.
