Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Double Chocolate Oatmeal cookies are some of my very favorite! One day I went to a book signing and the author happened to have written a cookbook about Chocolate, and she was serving these cookies. One bite and I was hooked! I do need to give a disclaimer, this is not the recipe that Cutler's uses! 

Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
from Chocolate Never Faileth by Annette Lyon pg 46

1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 cup oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, mix. Mix in flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until combined. Add the oats, mix until moistened. Stir in chocolate chips. Shape, either by dropping onto baking sheet by spoonfuls, or do what I like to do, use a small ice cream scoop, the kind with the handle on the side. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes. When they come out, they are still quite soft, so allow them to sit on the baking sheet for another 10 minutes, this kind of finishes the baking process. Let cookies completely cool on wire racks.

This recipe only makes about 1 1/2 dozen, but I always double it when I make it, because 1 1/2 dozen cookies get eaten really fast! This recipe has become my go-to cookie recipe, it's really quick to put together and bake and they are super yummy!

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
