This is by far the most convenient and tasty way of introducing oats in your diet. These cookies are crisp and soft and nutty and crunchy all at the same time. A flavor explosion in your mouth! Getting back to the recipe. 24 medium-large size cookies. 3 cups old fashioned oats. 3/4 cup plain flour. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1 tsp vanilla extract.

It has a perfect balance of spice and tang. Not the simplest recipes for egg curry around, but definitely worth all the efforts. These cold winter days make this dish even more desirable. So get your aprons on and dive in! 4 to 6 people. 1/2 cup fresh grated coconut OR 1/4 cup dry grated coconut. 15 inch cinnamon stick.

Friday, December 20, 2013. Batata Kaalvan (Potato Curry) CKP Style. For everybody who do not understand why fish curries rock! As my husband does not eat fish and I can't stop eating them, we are almost always in a fix as we have to prepare two separate meals whenever I get my hands on some fresh fish. I also do feel a little bad that he misses out on the amazing curries that fish are cooked in. So here is how we make it! 4 - 5 garlic cloves, crushed. 1/4 tsp turmeric powder. 15 tsp red chilly powder.
