Maida Biscuits ~ Deepavali Sweets!

I wish my readers a very happy Deepavali!

I know Deepavali holds special moments for every kid. And I remember my childhood with vivid clearness. It's almost like just yesterday! And every season, Amma would plan for something new sweet or snacks along with the favorite old ones. These maida biscuits are something she did one season. And then we completely forgot about it.

This time around, my Athamma was telling me of this biscuit and I was wondering remembering it from somewhere. This is normally done with eggs but since we make it for pooja, we replace it with a ripe banana. And those ripe bananas were just what Athamma wanted to make these for Konda. There were done in a jiffy and were a great hit with the kids. All three of them were taken in by the shape and the taste of these.

The heart and the car molds are Konda's playthings, which we thought would serve us better. The kids have a thing about eating snacks presented in lovable forms. The best thing about these biscuits is that they are easy to make and not consume a lot of oil. The whole sugar adds a different taste as you get to munch on them.
