    I had the most wonderful feeling when I finally came up with a new logo for Microwave event. Next month marks the first anniversary of this wonderful event. When I had thought of the event, it was all spur of the moment and I didn't' have time to even think of something for the logo. And its been a year now, and I finally thought I should spend some time on this and get a new one out!

    This took just about 5 minutes to complete but a year to come into existence. So do check out the new logo for Microwave Easy Cooking and please use this going forward. I hope this month's theme is simmering in all your minds with soups and stews!

    Ok while all of you get your simmering soups out, let me talk about this simple snack that can be every kid's favorite one. It was mine and it is my daughter! When we thought what to make for the pooja in a jiffy, this is what came out. When you have the dough ready, it takes about 15 mins to get everything in place. Konda was really happy seeing this and wanted it for the snacks next day. I made about a medium tiffin box full, by time I completed making all the batch, it was half empty! Remember the salt version? or this Savory Maida Biscuits. Both have been my favorites during my childhood.

    I can only look forward eagerly to the time when my twins grow up to ask for these. Actually I did give them some to eat, but didn't want to overdo their first intake.

    Ingredients Needed:

    All purpose flour / Maida - 1 cup
    Salt to taste
    Ghee - 2 tsp
    Water to knead
    Flour for dusting

    For Syrup

    Sugar - 1/2 cup
    Water - 1 cup

    Oil for frying

    Method to prepare:

    Take the flour, salt in a bowl. Knead to a stiff dough. Let it rest for 10 mins.

    Then divide into equal balls. Take a ball and flatten on the rolling board using a rolling pin. The dough has to be of thickness of 1 inch. Then using a knife cut them into strips of 2 inchs sizes and do a cross cut. Each one will be like a diamond.

    Meanwhile, take the sugar in a pan filled with water. And cook over sim flame for the sugar to melt. Remove any scum if any. Then keep on stirring it to get a cystylation of 1 thread consistency.

    Heat a kadai with oil. Once the dough is cut as small diamonds, gently drop them into hot oil. Cook on both sides.

    When its cooked on both sides, drop these into the sugar syrup. let it coat on all sides. And remove.

    If you find sugar is not enough, you can add more and make more syrup.

    Store them in air tight container. These can stay crispy for couple of days, provided they are left behind.

    Hope you enjoyed these small treats from my childhood.
