Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Regular readers might have read my previous posts and its no secret that I like Italian food. Most Italian restaurants serve fresh baked bread as an appetizer. Our favorite are these garlic and parsley flavored Cheddar Cheese Biscuits popularly known as Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I find these easy as compared to the yeast breads.

Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour/Maida - 1 cup
Cheddar Cheese (Sharp) - 3/4 cup
Unsalted Butter - 5 tbsp
Milk - about 1/2 cup
Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Dry Parsley - 1/2 tsp
Sugar - 1/4 tsp
Salt

How to bake Cheddar Bay Biscuits:
  • Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F.  
  • Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with butter.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients - all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, fresh ground black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt and sugar. Mix well.
  • In a big microwave safe bowl, add 4 tbsp butter and microwave for 20 seconds, just enough to soften it. Add oil and grated cheddar cheese. To this, add the dry ingredients. Add milk little at a time, to form a soft dough.
Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
  • In a small pan, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add 1/2 tsp garlic and dry parsley. Use this melted butter for brushing the baked biscuits. You can add more butter as well.
  • Divide the dough into 12 balls and place them a few inches apart on the greased tray. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Brush the half baked biscuits with the melted butter and bake for another 5 minutes or so. 
Enjoy soft, flaky Cheddar Cheese Biscuits as an appetizer. We enjoyed these with Minestrone Soup.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
