Making Atta Cookies in Air Fryer Without Oven is A Child's Play (Easy Healthy Homemade Gur Biscuits No Baking Powder/Soda)



imagine making cookies at home, that too, with only 3 ingredients. hanji hanji main mazak nahi kar rahi hun. you need only 3 ingredients to make homemade atta cookies without oven. in fact, you can bake cookies in air fryer or without it too. the easy atta cookies recipe uses homemade butter and gur or jaggery powder.





the first question is homemade butter better ?
yes, I say homemade cultured or fermented butter is way healthier and yummier than the store-bought stuff. you get a lot of additives along with the so-called butter in the market. but homemade is purely butter that too fermented. ravneet bhalla loves to make things from scratch. the recipe of making cultured butter is also up on the channel.

ingredients

atta cookies ingredients 
1 cup minus 1 tbsp (140 grams) whole wheat flour (please adjust according to dough- aim for a soft dough) 
1/4 cup butter homemade (cultured) 42 gram 
1/2 cup jaggery powder (62 grams)

begin the cookie preparation by creaming together sifted jaggery powder and refrigerated butter. i have shared a detailed video on cookie basics for beginners, please do check to learn how to bake biscuits without chemicals.
the creamed jaggery and butter mix will look pale and creamy of course. it will have stiff peaks too. that's absolutely perfect.
sift whole wheat atta and bring together into dough.
please do not knead cookie dough. this is not a chapati. but a cookie recipe. kneading is not allowed, nor recommended!!!
bring together the cookie dough into a log and pack in a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 mts.
cut into desired shapes and refrigerate again. since it's extremely hot my side, I refrigeration of cookie dough will help retain the shapes. else cookies might spread out while baking. meanwhile preheat airfryer to 160 deg c for 5 min
if you want to bake in kadahi or cooker without oven, please use a thick bottomed vessel to prevent the risk of burning cookies. preheat the utensil for 10 min.
bake atta butter biscuits without baking powder or soda for 10-12 min or little longer at 160 deg c. check if done, else bake for 2 min more. bake cookies in kadahi for 10-12 min or longer on a low flame. check if done. they tend to burn from bottom, so you can flip sides and bake for 2 min more. allow butter cookies to cool down before storing them in an airtight container. they are crispy butter bites made without refined sugar. you will love the flavors of these jagery cookies. ravneet bhalla needs motivation to keep coming up with healthy recipes. so please hit the like button to motivate me. take care until we meet next. cya

Is Fermented Rice Healthy? How Do You Ferment Rice [Odisha's Pakhala Bhaat Recipe]

 What is the meaning Pakhala bhaat? Is Pakhala good for health? Is fermented rice healthy?  Or in other words, does curd rice have b12? These are some of the questions that have been asked every now and then. So in this video from the Odia cuisine, I present to you Odisha special Pakhala - the ancient Odia tradition of fermenting rice. Now coming back to making Pakhala at home. I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water. Drain off excess water and let the rice come to room temperature. Then mix it with curd, salt, and water and store in an earthen clay pot. Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice...

Soaking turns pumpkin seeds water green | Is it SAFE?

 Pumpkin seeds cause water to develop a green tint mainly because they contain chlorophyll, the natural pigment that gives plants their green color. This phenomenon occurs through several interconnected processes that involve the seed's cellular structure and pigment composition. Raw pumpkin seeds, particularly the hulled green varieties commonly known as pepitas, contain significant amounts of chlorophyll. This is the same compound responsible for photosynthesis in plants and creates the distinctive green appearance in leaves, stems, and other plant tissues. The chlorophyll concentration in pumpkin seeds is naturally high since these seeds develop within the green interior of the pumpkin. When pumpkin seeds are soaked in water, their cellular walls begin to soften and break down gradually. This process allows water molecules to penetrate the seed structure and extract various compounds, including pigments. Although chlorophyll isn't completely water-soluble in its pure chemica...
