SHHH COOKING SECRETLY CHALLENGE

The challenge for this month in Shhh Secretly cooking challenge FB group is Stick to seeds suggested by Archana. You can find a lot of innovative and healthy recipes in her blog. I have bookmarked her stuffed Portabella mushrooms to try soon. As soon as the theme is announced I decided to cook something with Sesame seeds.

Discussed the same with my partner Mayuri and she is so sweet to give me honey and wheat flour as secret ingredients. I bookmarked the Italian sesame seed cookies from her blog long back and finally tried it out. Next, I wanted to try her Kenyan recipes Ugali and Mahamri soon. I gave her beet leaves and oregano and she came up with healthy Beetroot Buckwheat Risotto.

Notes

Baking time depends on the size and thickness of the cookies.

Always keep an eye out after 10 minutes.

Cookies will look soft when taken out of the oven but will become firm after 5-10 minutes.

You can use egg for binding instead of milk when coating with sesame seeds.

if you are using an oven bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes.
