Gehun Parotta/ Whole wheat flour parotta

Manga-Yiral in Chettinad masala/ Chicken gizzard in chettinad masala

Kueh Makmur

Kueh Makmur is a  Malaysian biscuit. The outside layer of the biscuit is bland, but the dark peanut filling gives a sweet twist to the biscuit. Every time my grandmother(who is an expert when it comes to cooking or baking) makes this biscuit,  we would just wait for the biscuits to get baked and finish it in no time. The aroma and its taste makes you eat another  biscuit again and again and makes
