Eggless Rose Cookies/Achu Murukku Recipe - Kerala Achappam Without Egg
As far as I know achu murukku/rosette cookies/rose cookies is very popular in Kerala and is called as achappam in Malayalam. Recently when I was browsing for some Christmas special recipes, I found achu murukku without egg is made for Christmas by people in and around Nagercoil. And this is my most favourite snack too. I just love its mild sweetness with flavour of coconut milk.
Whenever my neighbour Mrs. Prema visits her native place in Kerala, I tell her to buy a packet of achappam and coconut oil halwa especially for me. As a big fan of this achappam, I wanted to try them in my kitchen for long time and bought achu murukku mould from Salem, Tamil nadu long back. I tried once some months ago but I couldn’t make it properly.

Yesterday I tried it again after referring this and this recipe. I made some slight changes in ingredients as per my convenience and taste. To my surprise, it came out really well and I was so happy and proud that I could make it well without eggs.

BENNE BISCUIT RECIPE - KARNATAKA IYENGAR BAKERY STYLE BISCUITS
Though Iam in Bangalore for more than 10 years, I had tasted these bakery stuffs only a few times. But every time when I come across Iyengar bakery style recipes in my fellow bloggers blog, I feel like trying them immediately but somehow I didn’t. Yesterday I was tempted very badly by seeing this recipe. The comments & feed backs from the readers made me try the recipe immediately. Actually it was titled as Benne biscuit(butter cookies) but ghee was used in the recipe. I doubted & browsed through so many benne biscuit recipes and most of them had ghee or oil. And finally I got the explanation for its name from here.
As this biscuit has a smooth & melt in mouth texture like butter, it is called Benne biscuit & not that its made of butter (Benne means butter in Kannada). Of course in bakeries they do use dalda or vegetable shortening. So without researching further, I just tried it. In the next 20 minutes, biscuits were ready in my hand & Yes, it was a big hit in my home & among my Kannadiga friends too. But my friends told cardamom is optional to use otherwise it is perfect ! My in-laws and myself loved it very much. I had already posted Multi grain Nankhatai recipe with oats,ragi & wheat flour using oil. But this recipe uses ghee. How come it tastes bad when you add so much of ghee??. Even Beginners in baking can dare to try this recipe. U will get the perfect result , Iam sure..
Ok, lets see how to make this iyengar bakery style eggless benne biscuit/Nankhatai at home easily.

ALMOND COOKIES – NO EGG NO BUTTER - BADAM BISCUIT
This is my second post on cookies/ biscuits. After trying multi grain nankhatai , I got the confidence of making varieties of cookies. I got this eggless almond cookies recipe from here.. Thanks a lot Anu, it tasted great. We loved it so much. I have done this badam biscuits thrice so far. When I tried this recipe for the first time i dint have butter in hand. So i just replaced the butter with cooking oil doubtfully. But to my surprise, it tasted great.
I started making it with cooking oil every time. I halved the original recipe and tried for the first time , but then I adjusted the recipe for smaller quantity. Here I’ve given the recipe for small quantity which yields around 10 biscuits. It will finish off in no time, try this. U’ll come to know.
Two readers from Sweet n Spicy mobile app tried this biscuit with wheat flour and liked it very much. Here is what they quoted:

Ragi Biscuits - Eggless, Butterless Finger Millet Cookies
First time I too tried only with maida & ghee. It tasted great, just melted in my mouth. But we all know maida and dalda are not advisable to eat.So I thought of using a combination of wheat flour, ragi flour , powdered oats and I replaced vanaspathi with cooking oil . It was excellent in taste. I couldn’t find any difference in the taste & texture.
Do try this ragi, wheat flour nankhatai , I am sure you’ll love this. Its a fool proof recipe. I’ve tried to give the exact measurements. Please adjust the amount of oil if necessary. Also you can see the picture of the biscuit I made just with wheat flour and little maida.Try whichever u like :)
