Chickpea & Spinach Fritters In Appe Pan 😋

Some healthy choices are made when you notice an increasing belly fat 😜 and still cannot give up indulging, like example deep fried fritters with tea is a combo made in heaven, irresistible😋.

But this is the time I chose Appe pan to make this spinach and chickpea fritters and it is super tasty made in just a tsp of oil. Who cares than, rather keep on gobbling by keeping your worries aside with evening cup of tea.😍😍

Ingredients:-

1 Cup Boiled chickpeas

1 Cup Spinach Fine chopped

2 medium size boiled potato 

3 pods of crushed garlic

2 -3 green chilies finely chopped

1 tsp grated ginger 

1/4 cup fresh chopped green coriander 

1 tsp Cumin powder

1 tsp Coriander powder

1/2 tsp of dry mango powder (aamchur)

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Salt to taste 

Method:-

In a bowl, mash boiled chickpeas and boiled potato together. Add in chopped spinach, grated ginger- garlic, chopped green chilies and green coriander and all the spices mentioned above in the ingredient list.

Mix all thoroughly. Take equal portion and make equal size small balls which can fit in to Appe pan.

Turn the flame on with Appe pan on it, drop about 1/2 tsp of oil in each cavity and once it is hot, drop the spinach balls in each cavity and allow it to cook on medium flame for about 2 minutes or until it's nice golden brown, flip and further cook for 2-3 minutes in the same way.

This is the nonstick Appe pan with six lemon sized cavity.

Serve it with green coriander or mint chutney or with a mustard dip as I did..

Perfect evening treat with a cup of hot Indian tea.  

Melt-In-mouth Butter Cookies

 Butter cookies are the one which mostly many of us have grew eating this. Especially the local bakery butter cookies in my hometown  were one of my favourite, they were Simply superb and melt in mouth.  

Well this is the one near to its taste, utterly buttery delicious 😋😋😍😍 perfect crunch from outside and soft crumblier from inside...as I said its "Melt in mouth Cookies"❤️

Ingredients:-

1 1/2 Cup All purpose flour

3/4 Cup butter at room temperature 

4 tbsp Corn Starch

1 Egg yolk

4 1/2 tbsp castor sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla essence 

1 tsp Baking powder

Method:-

In a large bowl, mix all purpose flour with cornstarch and baking powder. Mix well and keep it aside.

In another large bowl, beat butter slightly  and later add in castor sugar. (I used my electric mixture to beat the butter and sugar).

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Now add in vanilla essence and egg yolk. Beat the mixture again until yolk in the butter and sugar mix turns light and fluffy. 

Now add in the flour and keep beating. Scrap down the sides of the bowl with spatula. It will be little crumbly. Use your hands and gather all the crumbly flour mixture in to a dough.

Transfer the cookie dough on to a plastic cling film. Roll it in to a tube in 3 1/2 cm thickness, wrap well and transfer it in to a refrigerator for half and hour.

Preheat oven at 180degree Celsius.

Bring out the dough, unwrap and slice into 1 1/2 cm thickness with a clean knife.

Line a baking tray with a parchment paper, arrange the sliced cookies by keeping at least 2-3 cm distance between each cookies. 

With the back of the fork, press each cookies gently to get that classic look.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly brown.

Bring it out from the oven and allow it stand for 5 minutes in the tray itself. Later transfer it on to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before filling a jar.

And here your melt in mouth cookies ready to serve.
