Brownies

Brownies are definitely America’s favorite bar cookie (square). Brownies are so named because of their dark brown color, not because they contain chocolate. In fact, the first brownie recipes didn’t even contain chocolate.In Fannie Farmer’s ‘Boston Cooking School Cook Book’ the Brownie recipe calls for butter, sugar, Porto Rico molasses, an egg, flour, and pecan meat. So, I think we can safely say that our Brownie has evolved over the last century.

Kerala Chicken Cutlets

I started making cutlets in the early days of experimental cooking after marriage. I  had lots of  fun in shaping and frying them well.Alternatively, cookie cutters can be used to make cutlets of desired shape.  But getting the texture correct and not having them fall apart while frying took a lot of experience.
