    Namak Pare is a deep fried savoury snack usually made during festivals as Holi and Deepavali. It is crispy and tasty and make a good snack for children. It is ideal to carry while travelling.

    Usually namak pare is made with self raising flour or a mix of self raising flour and wheat flour in the same ratio. But, I use only wheat flour along with semolina and they turn out equally good. Deep fried snacks are always welcome at home, children love to binge on this.

    It is that time of the month when I work on my themed post, and I have chosen travel food for kids. So stay tuned for tasty snacks in  the next three days.

  • No Bake Swiss Roll

    No Bake Swiss Roll

    No bake Swiss Roll is a tasty and easy to make snack. It has the goodness of chocolate and coconut in it.

    The variety of biscuits that we get in market are so many, the simple ones are rarely asked by kids. They love to snack on cream filled ones or the heart shaped sugary one is the favourite. But, I love to give these biscuits a makeover. I have created some in the past and when the theme was decided as Recipes with Biscuits, I was excited.

    After thinking for sometime, I finally settled down to No Bake Swiss Rolls,  I had read this in a magazine a few days back. The making process is quite simple but needs some time to set, biscuits are powdered and mixed with some syrup and butter to a dough. The filling is of desiccated coconut and sugar which gave a nice flavour. It is then rolled and allowed to set in refrigerator.

    You can serve it as a sweet or dessert for get-together or children’s party.

    The other recipes with biscuits that I have created Biscuit Cake, Krackjack Sev Puri, Choco Marie, Instant Chocolates

    Let me take you to the recipe without much delay.
