சூஸ் பெரி பிஸ்கட் / Simple Cookies




Hi all,
சூஸ் பெரி பிஸ்கட் is my all time favorite cookie ever!! My dad used to buy this from a nearby store in my childhood. Recently, I had a sudden craving for this biscuit and thought of sharing the recipe in my blog. I am sure anyone from Chennai, South India would have tasted this yummy cookie.
The store bought cookie would be in the shape of a cube, but I have chosen to make it in different shapes.

 Let us see how to bake these simple and yummy cookies, which calls for only a few ingredients..
All Purpose Flour -  2 cups
Ghee + Oil - 1 cups
Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1 pinch

 Now, in a bowl, sift the flour and mix all the dry ingredients. Now , add the oil + ghee mixture, little by little and make a dough.
Set this aside for 1/2 hour to 1 hour.
 
Now, preheat the oven to 310° F .
Flatten the dough on a greased plate and cut into desired shapes. 

Line the baking tray with parchment paper / butter paper and lay the cut cookies and bake for 25 minutes. 


The biscuits are ready to eat! I am sure that everyone in your family will love it. I would love to read your comments!

 TIPS : With the given measurement of the oil+ghee mixture, the top layer of the cookie will be soft and crumbly and the bottom will be crispy. If you want the cookie to be a little hard, you can reduce the oil+ghee mixture to 3/4th cup, instead of 1 cup.

 Soon I will post some photos with this same recipe, but by substituting the All Purpose Flour with Wheat Flour, as we all know that Maida / All Purpose Flour is not good for health.

Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life.  I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as...
