Biscuit as Snacks

I do include biscuit as for snack. But I am particular on what is the content of the product that I am going to eat. Anyway, I am not endorsing any product here; it just so happen that I bought a product which I think will be beneficial to eat because of its content. Well I like it because it has wheat. It is low in fat, low in sugar and trans fat free.

A healthy snack to consider

I can perfectly match it with any other snacks that I can think of like fruit flavored yogurt, cheese spread or any other bread spreads that I like. I also consider biscuits as my emergency food especially when I am hungry at night and I needed to eat something. Well it is really my midnight snack aside from bananas that I also have.

I used cheese spread for this biscuit..

Wheat Biscuits such as these are rich in fiber and has vitamins and folic acid as well. Most of what I know is that people who want to lose weight often times buy crackers and biscuits like this. It gives them a feeling of a full stomach without even eating for more. Well for me, I don’t want to lose weight but gain. I just include this in my daily diet because as I have said, it is better as a snack rather than I eat junk foods which will never be good for my health. Biscuits can also go perfectly well with any drinks like coffee, tea, soft drinks, juice. But for me, I would only be skipping on tea, coffee and soft drinks. I can perfectly match this biscuit with milk, hot chocolate or fruit juices.

How to Make Flat Bread (Chappati)

Chapatti or Flat Bread

Believe me up until now, I am still perfecting to make my own chapatti's shape to be round or circle. Most of the time, I ended up on elongated or something like an alien ship or flying saucer that came from outer space. Seriously I don't watch my in-laws to make it since I am thousands of miles away from them, so I just learned it on my own by watching it on youtube.

Again you don't have to be an expert to cook something. Cooking should be a passion. You should love what you are doing so that it mirrors what you prepare before you serve it to your family and beloved.

Chapatti is made out of wheat flour. I haven't seen anyone mix it with white flour. Just to make a sample chapatti, use two cups of wheat flour and then only 3/4 cups of water and put it in a mixer to make a dough. Keep the dough in an open container for 20 minutes before you roll it into balls which is only a coin size.

Just use a thick rolling pin to make the size more round. Use a tava or a non stick pan and don't use any oil. Once you preheat your tava or non stick pan place your rolled dough and once you see small bubbles coming in, just roll your wheat dough and press it using any clean cloth to make the chapatti balloon in size.

Spread some ghee or butter in a ready hot chapatti and keep it on a tiffin to maintain it's temperature. Chappati is always part of Indian dishes which is always good to compare with any curry recipes.
