Lavender Shortbread

By Chef Chindi Varadarajulu, 31 Oct, 2018

    A passionate restaurateur and Chef, she led her restaurant in receiving many awards, and also garnered positive media attention.

     

     
     

    Ingredients

    • 200 gms butter
    • 250 gms flour
    • 75 gms cornflour
    • 105 gms icing sugar (separated 90 gms and 
    15 gms)
    • 2 gms salt
    • Lavender extract
     

    Preparation 

    • Take butter at room temperature and add salt. In a separate bowl, mix the corn flour and flour well. Add icing sugar to it and mix. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and mix well.
     
    • Pour onto an 11x11 tray and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Before putting it into the oven, it is a good idea to mark the required size onto the dough so it is easy to cut later. 
     
    • Once baked, take it out of the oven and cut when still hot. Sprinkle 15 grams of icing sugar after it cools down. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

    Spicy Smoky Potatoes

    They had a strange crunch to them that I soon figured out was fried lentils (in this case white urad dhal) so I have added these and a little more right at the end as peanuts, but if you don’t fancy them then just leave them out.
