Aama biscuit /Motta biscuit / beans biscuit

-

It's a "no one can eat just one- ting ting ting" - situation with these cuties! ❤️ Super nostalgic and a favorite of many many many people I know!

I didn't know it was so simple to make! They do have a small pineapple Flavour which is not there in the Aama biscuit made in all bakeries. If you don't want it, you can skip it and keep it vanilla. So here goes...
                  AAMA/MOTTA BISCUIT

3/4 cup maida
5tbsp sugar (Powdered)
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
2 large eggs 
2 tbsps  BUTTER (I used salted) 
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
1/4tsp pineapple essence. (if you're not using pineapple, increase the B5vanilla to 1/2tsp)

Preheat oven to 120degrees celcius. 
Lay baking paper on a cookie tray/ cake pan. 
Seive the flour with baking powder. Keep aside. 
Beat eggs and sugar  together.
Add in the vanilla and pineapple essence, mix well. 
Add butter, beat till the butter gets incorporated. 
Add the flour mix in batches, till everything comes together.
Pour into piping bag and pipe small drops onto the baking paper. 
Bake for 22 mnts at 120degrees. The biscuits should have a slight golden brown coloring along the sides. 
Take out of the oven and let cool before peeling biscuits off the sheets. They may crumble if they are not cooled down.  

Store in air-tight containers and enjoy ❤️

We used to live in Dubai before we moved to South Africa. Dubai--the land of shawarmas, khuboos, kabaabs, Al Faham, hummus, mandhi, kabsa and my abssssolute favorite, sulaimani (black tea with spices, and lemon) ! ❤️ ❤️ I think my best memories of our Dubai days are the walks along the creek-side and on the beach with  my brand-new husband (😍) and there would be sulaimani vendors on bicycles. During winter, the feel of those walks and the bliss of the Sulaimani - ahhh! ❤️ ❤️  Not sure how I got writing about sulaimani, but today's post is on falafel and hummus. 😊 Different countries have different ways of making these, just like most popular foods. My version is a close approximation to the Israeli version I beleive but I do add chaat masala coz it's the magic spice!  So chickpeas is the basic ingredient. If using dry chickpeas, soak them overnight in water and pressure cook till fully cooked. If using canned, strain and rinse the chickpeas (re...

Fiiiinally I have a proper blog, so I don't have to mince my words to fit into Insta's teeny weeny typing space. I sure hope this makes me a 'food blogger', coz trust me, this is where my imagination ends! 🙃 So, for my first blog post, I think nothing could me more appropriate than the majestic Chilli Chicken! ❤️ It's an Indo-Chinese dish created by the migrant Chinese population in India by incorporating some of the Indian spices/methods with the Chinese sauces and ingredients. And this is something close to my heart as it was a very 'fancy' dish during my childhood years . Rarely made at home, generally ordered from 'Malaya', which was the 1st Chinese restaurant in our city (Cochin) ❤️  This recipe was given to me by my sister and I wouldn't have it any other way as there lives no connoisseur of Chilli Chicken as she . 😊 So here goes... .  .  Ingredients : .  Chicken pieces - 1kg (boneless or bone on) Onions        ...
