Cumin flavoured Cookies

Jeera biscuits or cumin cookies are one of my favourite snack. Add a cup of masala chai and it is absolute bliss, especially on a rainy day. It is easy to make and is a good option for baking with kids. Hand them some cookie cutters and let them enjoy making multiple shapes with this…

Eggless Herbed Scones

The daughter loves scones and so do I. It reminds me of the endless stories from my childhood when I read Enid Blyton tales with secret picnics, afternoon teas and midnight feasts and almost everyone of them having scones on the menu. As a child I was so curious about what scones are and how…

Quick Loaf
