Eggless Oats Cookies with Dry Mangoes

eggless oats dry fruit cookies
Eggless crisp cookies or biscuits made of oats, whole wheat flour and chewy dry mangoes.
These cookies can be made using 'tutti fruity' as well.  But I prefer dry fruits like dry mangoes, dry grapes/raisins, dry figs, dry apricots which do not have food colour or preservatives.

Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Instant Oats - 1/2 cup
Light Brown Sugar - 3/4 cup
Unsalted Butter - 1/4 pound (about 115 gms)
Walnuts or any other nuts - 1/4 cup
Dry Mangoes - 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp
Baking Powder - 1/4 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp
Green Cardamom/Elaichi - 2 pods (seeds only)

Method:
1. Heat the butter just enough to melt it.  Let it cool slightly.
2. Roughly chop walnuts and dry mangoes.  Use any other nuts or fruits of your choice - almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, dry apricots, dry grapes/raisins.  Crush the cardamom seeds to a fine powder in a mortar pestle.
3. In a mixing bowl, add melted butter and light brown sugar.  Mix well till sugar dissolves.  Now add chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup dry mangoes and cardamom powder.  Mix well.  Lastly, add all the dry ingredients - whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder and baking soda.  Mix well to form a soft dough.  If the dough is too dry, add few tbsp of milk or butter. 
4. Preheat the oven at 350 deg. F.  Divide the cookie dough into 15 - 20 equal size balls.  Flatten them and place them on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil or parchment paper.  Arrange the cookies each one a few inches apart.  Place a few pieces of chopped mangoes in the centre of all cookies.
5. Bake the cookies at 350 deg. F for 12 - 15 minutes or till the cookies turn crisp.  Let them cool for about 10 minutes.  After the cookies completely cool, store them in an airtight container.

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....

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.
