    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.

      Narmadha thank you so much for trying out my recipe. Like how you have replaced plain flour with wheat flour. I've not made them in a long time. Seeing your photos is a reminder that I should bake them again.
