About Me

I am posting in this blog ,recipes which my 87 years old mother used in her cooking. Some of these are her own, some from her friends,some hand me downs from her elders etc etc. So the variety is awesome and as an admirer of his grandma's cooking, my son Arvind created this blog so that my mother's age old recipes can be shared with one and all .I have also posted some of my "tried and tested" recipes, especially the Non-vegetarian ones.I thought a purely vegetarian recipes' blog can be made more interesting with some non-veg recipes thrown inbetween.

Mixed fruit jam : 400 gms bottle (to be used as desired)

Method :
Cream fat and sugar.Add the vanilla essence and milk.
Sieve the two flours and baking powder together and add the above mixtures to this to make a smooth dough. Make into small balls and flatten between your palms or roll out the balls to 1/4 inch thick rounds (discs!)and smoothen the edges.Arrange in a baking tray and bake at 400F (200C )until they are golden brown .Allow to cool.Spread the jam on one and sandwich with another biscuit.Keep in an airtight container taking care to arrange neatly.
