Mochakottai Karuvadu Kulumbu (Field Beans Salted Fish Curry)
As I
peer into the earthen pot, brimming with the flavorful Mochakottai Karuvadu
Kulumbu, my appetite awakens. I must admit, I have a soft spot for this
Indian-style salted fish curry. Salted fish has always held a special charm for
me, with its salty goodness. It's no surprise that I could happily indulge in
it every day. Yet, I'm mindful of the health implications of too much
saltiness.
But amidst these considerations, there's something comforting about a touch of saltiness, like an old friend. Making this curry is simple, without any fuss. My goal is always to make cooking a joy, not a chore.

Oatmealll Raisin Cookies: A Delightful Twist on Traditional Treats
The
anticipation mounted as I stood in my kitchen, contemplating whether to embark
on one final baking venture (Semperit Cookies) before returning to the daily grind. With just
three days left of my much-needed break, I found myself drawn to the allure of
homemade cookies (Vanilla Butter Cookies) once more. This time, the spotlight fell on Oatmeal Raisin
Cookies - a classic treat with a comforting charm.
Unlike some of my previous cookie escapades (Cayenne Chocolate Cookies & Nyonya Pineapple Tarts), the recipe for these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies promised simplicity and ease. Yet, as I soon discovered, even the seemingly straightforward can hold unexpected challenges. Armed with a recipe from a popular site, I dove into the baking process, only to encounter a sticky dough (Chinese Peanut Cookies) that defied all attempts at shaping.

Semperit Cookies: Crafting Sweet Memories, One Ribbon at a Time
Ah,
the delightful rhythm of baking continues in my kitchen! With each new
creation, I find myself drawn deeper into the enchanting world of homemade
treats. Despite the challenges that may arise, I refuse to be discouraged. So,
when the urge struck to craft Semperit Cookies-a beloved member of the Malay
cookie family -I dove right in. Little did I know, this venture would test my
patience like never before.
As I set out on this culinary journey, memories of past triumphs filled my mind. From the delicate Vanilla ButterCookies to the bold Cayenne Chocolate Cookies, and the detailed NyonyaPineapple Tarts to the comforting Chinese Peanut Cookies, not forget, the crunchy crumbly Suji Cookies, each creation had its own story to tell. Yet, none had prepared me for the meticulous process of shaping Semperit Cookies.

Vanilla Butter Cookies
With
some days still ahead of me during my leave from work, I figured it was the
perfect opportunity to dust off my baking skills and whip up some homemade
cookies. It's been ages since I last made cookies, mainly because neither I nor
my husband are big snackers. But with time on my hands, I felt inspired to dive
into the world of cookie making once again.
After trying my hand at Suji Cookies, Cayenne Chocolate Cookies, Nyonya Pineapple Tarts, and Chinese Peanut Cookies, I was on a roll and couldn't resist the urge to try another recipe. This time, I decided to go for something classic and comforting: Vanilla Butter Cookies. There's something special about these cookies—they're simple yet delicious, and making the dough is a breeze.

Suji Cookies
Suji Cookies, an integral part of our Indian heritage, hold a special place in our hearts, especially during the festive season of Deepavali. Fond memories flood my mind of gathering with loved ones, rolling dough and delicately placing cherries atop each cookie, a cherished tradition that remains etched in my memory. Following the recent successes with Cayenne Chocolate Cookies, NyonyaPineapple Tarts, and Chinese Peanut Cookies, the allure of Suji Cookies was undeniable. With their humble yet captivating aroma, these buttery delights promise to evoke reminiscence and delight with every crispy, sweet bite.
