Choclatey custard baskets

   Hi guys, this is my 200th post, and am soo happy about it..
Today I will share choclatey dessert in order to make this post special... Not long before, I attended choclate classes here at hyderabad... The tutor was soo nice to me, she taught me how to cook seven different types of choclates, though I wanted to make advanced course (Which included how to make choclate bouquets and hundred other types), time did'nt permit me to do so.  Doin or making choclate requires immense patience, and perfection bcoz this is a highly sensitive process,,, if you fail any step, choclate may get spoilt at end of the day..

Soya chunks ki vade

  My kiddoo remained sick for over four days... :( but, slowly she was recovering from her physical illness.  So, this weekend, I decided to make something special for her...She luves vada, and everytime she sees them outside, she will say, 'mai, i want vada'..

Afterall, it was an healthy protein combo pack, do try it for ur kids and let me know...

French Macaroons

    I had got this French macaroons for Baking partners challenge, having done first two challenges correctly, I got overambitious and resulted in burnt macaroons in my first time...  I did get upset and rate of upset was a too high factor because these macaroons required a very costly ingredients therefore making it hard to give consequent try unlike bread, buns, cakes etc.  And not only that these macaroons required high technical assistance like adding ingredients on particular texture of egg white or folding almond flour on a correct 50-stroke basis.  Though there are thousands of online videos, nothing can match like tutoring it on person.. But, what to do??...
   
   After had one failure attempt, I decided to visit all successful pages of macaroons accomplishers... and read lots of stories.. of all, I got fascinated  by the story of Swathi from zestysouthindiankitchen and Priya from cooklikepriya.  I read their story many times a day to understand the concept, thank u guys for such a brief description.  After reading so, i got hopes for an second try and finally made macaroons!!!!
