Eggless Coconut Macaroons

This is an eggless version of coconut macaroons and those who love coconut will surely enjoy them:) Also this is an easy version with minimal ingredients, yeah we just need three ingredients in total! Isn't it awesome? Here I used sweetened coconut flakes since that what I had in my hand. So the macaroons were on the sweeter side, if we need less sweeter version, we can replace it with unsweetened flakes. Ok let's start baking macaroons:)

Ingredients:

• Coconut flakes - Around 2 to 3 cups (I used sweetened flakes)
• Condensed milk  - Around 1/2 to 3/4 cup (Sweetened condensed milk)
• Vanilla essence  - few drops

Note: The actual quantity of coconut flakes and condensed milk may vary; adjust as per requirement until we get the right consistency

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 F for 10 to 15 mins and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. If the coconut flakes are little big, we can use as such or we can grind it to small flakes and use them instead. It purely depends on our preference

WholeWheat Pancake Muffins

I have already posted an eggless whole wheat pancake recipe here and this one uses egg. During weekend mornings, it will be bit tired (or lazy :)) to stand before stove while making pancakes. To make it easier i tried baking them in mini muffin tins and it came out really well. I already tried an eggless version which I used to prefer on days when I wont eat eggs but didnt take pictures; so havent posted yet:)

These will be surely a hit among kids due to its size and ofcourse who will tell no to such an yummy mini bites and also made from whole wheat flour. Also we can make varieties by adding different flavour and toppings.

Yummy!!!!

Briyani Masala Powder

Preparation Time: 5 mins  
Cooking Time: 15-20 mins

Home made powders are always special. Briyani made with home made masala are flavourful and tastes great. This recipe suits our taste so nowadays am using this. Make sure to roast the ingredients one by one in low flame or else certain spices will get burnt fast which affects the flavor of the podi. If we are having, kalpasi, we can add a couple of it. I usually add 1 to 1.5 tsp of this powder per 1 cup of Rice.
