Low Fat WholeWheat-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Having my dearest MIL & FIL over for a visit @ my place, i thought i'd give them a lil taste of my baking addiction, in fact i've been itching for almost over a month & a half to get my hands on my owen...Boy - O - Boy was i happy....Baking makes my heart skip a couple of beats with happines...!!
With Chocolate & Biscuit being a new addition to my trilingual 18 month old's awesomely mixed up, yet growing dictionary i decided to give her a healthy dose of a combination of what she's been eagerly wanting to eat just all of other than what is called Healthy food for a child of her age...& as a cherry on top she has her Paternal Grandparent's spoiling her to the G, what more could she ask for...?? anything you name she has it before she "SCREAM'S " her lungs out ...!!

So much so i am seriously giving a thought of putting her on to a play school ASAP...and drive in some discipline into the lil Brat...!!!
Well chocolate always send's in a sense of powerful guilt after an utterly awesome and extremely immense feeling of powerless-ness while having these heavenly goodies..!! I was inspired by Traditional Oatmeal cookies on Gourmet.com & decided to however just making a small attempt to try and make ourselves feel less guilt with a few changes here & there..!!

Also can be treated as and awesome serve warm cookie after school or a great treat to get packed away in your kids lunch box, however if you prefer to omit chocolate chips, i'd suggest raisins which go equally well or you could even experiment with even equal amount's of both... they taste divine..!!

+Green PeasPulao / Matar Pulao(One Pot Meal...;)

Matar/Green Peas Pulao(One Pot Meal): Weekend's somehow make me feel weak in the knees to eat rice...i feel really bored to have roti's & dosas the whole week through..!! My versatile pallets and the stomach who's used to eat variety from mom screams out and demands more variety on the weekends. However though a weekday today i broke the usual rules and cooked up my favorite "Matar Pulao" which doesn't take much time as well as it's not too much  of a labor, since it all goes in one pot and pressure cook cool and serve, so i don't need to even wash too many dishes, so last night's dinner was Green Peas Pulao, Karnataka style with a slight variation for the sake of good health..;P What goes Inside: 1Cup: Basmati Rice(i used Basmati, since this is what i can acquire here easily ) or normal cooking rice of your choice. Spices: As per your taste you may add or delete the same(Cinnamon sticks+Green Cardamom+C...

+Homemade Indian Curds / Yoghurt/ Dahi/ Thair Recipe:)

+Homemade curds Recipe: It's amazing how life changes after marriage! Especially simple things such as consumption of curds too .....after being marrying a ' mallu boy ', I was amazed at the way they either mix curd in everything or rather cook almost everything with curd!! Initially it was a culture shock for me, a Rajput( being born n brought up one)!! I hardly had had curd ever in life until then!! Well as with anyone things changed gradually for me too....I understood far too quickly that I need to master the art of making well set curd as soon as possible...( yes...even curd setting is as good as Art..!!)... well finally after 10 years of marriage, two kids and infinite trials and error methods I came out victorious, this one really works well each time!!! The important thing is it really works well on our wallets too....and works fantabulous-ly on the health of our kids too..:) Now I can brag about making my very own dahi- Sakkar, dahi n parantha's, dahi Kari'...

Basic Eggless WWF Loaf Cake..;)

Basic Eggless WWF Sponge Loaf Cake..;) A Confession : Though I've been baking for quite sometime now,i must confess a basic sponge cake was more a matter of luck in my "cake"...Oops...sorry "case"..!!  I would go on and on like mom always very rightly said "Try try never say die... " i kept trying until i continued to succeed(psst: just to ensure i'm doing it perfectly right)..!!  Finally I've succeeded & so proud to shout it out loud to the world...i managed to bake the most "Mmmm..moist Eggless WWF Sponge Cake"...). It's been such a hit at my place that I've already baked it thrice in 3days in a row (I swear i'm just not exaggerating one bite..sorry bit..;) and also tried my new experiment "Basic Eggless WWF-Oatmeal & Chocolate Loaf Cake"...Well that recipe will follow soon though..!! Baking a cake always takes me through the nostalgia of school days where we learnt the famous nursery rhyme " ...
