Sweet Rava Pidi Kozhukattai/Sweet Semolina Dumplings

Ganesh Chathurthi is 9th september. Tempted by variety of modaks posted by fellow bloggers, i prepared this vegan sweet dumplings with rava today, this dumplings takes hardly less minute to get ready when compared to the usual rice dumpling. Roasted rava, sugar,cardamom powder,some grated coconut is just enough to make this quick dumplings.If  you dont have rice flour or dont know how to make stuffed modaks, still you can make this quick,easy dumplings to please the God Ganesha.

This dumplings are vegan,if you have rava at home,just make this tiny dumplings even if you dont have enough time to make Kozhukattais. I will definitely try my hands to make the same sweet version with cornmeal to check whether this method works with yellow cornmeal.


Double Chocolate Cookies

Chocolate are my weakness, if i feel down i'll go definitely for baking that to with chocolate. Seriously baking and chocolates gives me more energy  and happiness.Thats why i have loads of baked goodies in my space. Trust me i learned many techniques only after entering to this immense virtual world and am still in learning process. We all know that cookies are small edible cake which suits incredible for an evening snacks. Kids goes crazy for this crunchy small cakes and my kids favourite always goes for chocolate chips cookies.

Coming to this double chocolate cookies,since its has double chocolates in it obviously its a double bonanza for chocoholic persons like me.These cookies are extremely dangerously addictive so that you may forget completely about your waist line. These rich cookies will be bit soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will turn firm once they gets cool.. Do take care not to overbake these super chocolatey cookies.This recipe for the letter 'D' as am running this month's long marathon with alphabets and with baked dishes as theme.

However this cake was a big hit among my friends, coz i baked this coffee cake for a small get together happened at our home before a month. This recipe is definitely a keeper which am gonna mix and match the ingredients in future, you can replace the sour cream with yogurt if you are not able to get them.Sending to Srivalli's Cake Mela.

Shaping a cloverleaf rolls are very much easier than you may think, just make a bread dough and pinch the dough into small balls. Drop three of those balls in a muffin tin and let them rise , once they get baked you can get these cute looking,buttery cloverleaf dinner rolls. I brushed my rolls with melted butter,you can also brush them with egg yolks to make them more appealing with a shiny crust.As i told in my previous post, this wonderful bake is for this month's long blogging marathon with 'B' as alphabet under baked dishes as theme.
