    Low Fat Fruit Biscuit – very crisp, but not “melt-in-the-mouth”.

    Maida - 2 cups

    Baking powder - 1 tsp

    Powdered sugar - ½ cup

    Ghee - 2 tbsp

    Mixed fruit - 50 gms

    Chopped almonds & cashews - each 1 tbsp

    Sieve maida, baking powder & sugar twice.

    Rub in ghee thoroughly.

    Add mixed fruit & chopped nuts.

    Mix to a soft dough, adding enough water.

    Roll out on a floured board to ¼ “ thick sheet.

    Cut into desired shapes.

    Arrange on a greased & flour-dusted baking tray.

    Bake at 350 deg F for 15 mts till golden.

    After all batches are baked keep them all in a tray & bake in a very low oven for 30 mts to make them more crisp.

    Dear Rama,
    It is not actually baking a second time. It is just keeping it warm for a longer time to make it more crisp.The fat content being low, otherwise it may be a little soft in the centre.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Nandhu,
    Thanks a ton (or a million?) !
    Yes, I do need help, very badly.Though I think, I have included all the recipes, a few are likely to have been missed out inadvertently.
    Just make a random search for a few recipes from the recipe index, in the A-Z thread & write to me the list of those that do not appear! I will be very thankful!!
    Love,
    Chithra.

    My mistake .. how can I do it.. how can I even think about it...bonkbonk

    How could I have asked that - its like asking Sun if it needs my help for torchlight ------ :bowdown:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown

    WOW.. you are so organized.. everything are in A-Z recipes..

    I did not check completely.. but did the following

    (1) Cook n bake
    (2) Rasams - Had separate section for soups as well BowBow
    (3) Modern Microwave cooking

    I will look for other sections as well.. but I bet that it might all be included in the recipe list... By chance, if they are missed, will let you know :)

    Chitra Maami you amaze me always !! lot to learn from you.. .. not just recipes ;)

    Dear Humera,
    I personally feel 250 is sufficient.
    I saw the following on the net about turbo air fnction.

    the turbo will "surge" making a kinda 'wub wub wub wub' sound (I've heard this) and go between spinning forward and backwards with the unequal pressures.

    I don't think, you need to bother much about it. It is spinning forward & backward from what I understand.
    Love,
    Chithra.
