Chocolate Cookies Recipe: Eggless

Eggless chocolate cookies - the mild bitterness of cocoa powder, when paired with sugar and butter, creates a crumbly delight that melts on the tastebuds. But wait, add a touch of spiciness from cayenne pepper, and the flavor takes on another dimension (CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE EGGLESS). 

Cayenne pepper is the classic choice, but you can also use chili flakes or any other type of chili powder. Once all the ingredients are combined, the dough will be sticky. That’s why it needs to rest in the fridge first. After chilling, pinch the dough into small balls and flatten with a fork.

Nasi lemak is one of Malaysia’s most iconic dishes and has put Malaysian food on the global map.

Kuih Kaswi Recipe

Chewy and scented with palm sugar (Gula Melaka) and fragrant pandan (screwpine) leaves, this is Kuih Kaswi, also known as Kuih Kasui. Like other popular Malay kuih-muih, it’s a steamed Malaysian delicacy and a traditional dessert (WAJIK/GLUTINOUS RICE CAKES). 

 

The Gula Melaka version, sometimes called Gula Merah, is essentially a palm sugar–flavored steamed dessert. It is infused with the fragrance of pandan leaves, which is what sets Malay kuih-muih apart from those made with vanilla essence (MALAYSIAN BANANA PANCAKE).

Abstract
This article explores the intricate relationship between cultural expectations, mental health, and wellness practices among young Indian women in Selangor. It examines how societal pressures and a lack of mental health awareness contribute to emotional distress and coping strategies, particularly in the context of yoga therapy.

By promoting open discussions around mental health and encouraging holistic practices, families can create supportive environments that nurture the mental wellness of young Indian women, ultimately leading to healthier, more balanced lives.
