Even those who are not a fan of mincemeat adore these fruity (yes, meatless) cookies
and always come back for more!

The jarred meatless mincemeat consists mainly of fruit and spices,
hence this 7-ingredient recipe...
Yield: 4+ Doz.
Prep: 10 Mins.
Bake: 10 to 12 Mins.

INGREDIENTS
--Note: I've only slightly revised this recipe from its original None Such cookie recipe
and have been preparing these since grade-school days--

1-1/2 c granulated sugar
1 cup shortening
3 large eggs
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1-1/3 cups (1/2 of a 27 oz. jar) None Such (Borden) ready to use meatless

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare cookie sheets lined with silpat liners or parchement paper; set aside.

In large stand mixer, beat sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add eggs, beat well. Sift flour, baking soda and salt through a sieve placed over mixing bowl of wet ingredients. Mix together, then add in mincemeat and mix until combined.

Drop cookie dough using a small scoop or tablespoon, 2 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. (Do not over bake or cookies will become too dry.  These cookies are meant to be moist and cake like. ~ Enjoy!

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...
