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 ...

If travelling in a bus the bus stops at maddur for sure for a coffee break and you can see almost 80 - 90 percent people grabbing a hand at these gorgeous looking extremely tasty things. Though they are something's that's fried, .... but you don't travel through  Maddur everyday now do you..? All said & done the good thing about this recipe is that you could instantly make it with whatever ingredient's you have at home.
