Eggless rose cookies - Christmas recipe are not cookies in the real sense, but are so called because they look like dainty roses. This traditional snack is believed to be of Anglo-Indian origin, and is made commonly during Christmas time. In the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu it is quite often made during the festival of Diwali and a popular Diwali recipe.

To make rose cookies, combine the plain flour, cornflour, sugar, cinnamon powder and baking soda in a deep bowl and mix well. Add approx. 3/4 cup of water gradually, mix well and whisk well to make a smooth batter of coating consistency. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan very well. Dip the rose cookie mould in the hot oil. And allow it to heat up for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the rose cookie mould from the oil and dip half mould into the batter taking care that the mould is evenly coated with the batter. Dip the mould again in the hot oil and as the cookie cooks, loosen the cookies slightly using a fork and deep-fry till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper. Repeat steps 4 to 7 to make 24 more cookies. Just before serving, dust the cookies with the powdered sugar evenly and serve immediately.

Achappam is made by coating a cinnamon-flavoured, mildly-sweet plain flour batter on a rose-shaped mould and deep-frying till crisp. The cookies are then dusted with powdered sugar, which gives them an additional appeal, both in terms of appearance and taste.

These achu murukku can also be stored in an airtight container but make sure you cool them completely before storing, and do not sprinkle sugar till the time of serving, because if you sprinkle sugar and store, it will release water and make the cookies soggy.

Tips for rose cookies. 1. Add the water gradually while making the dough, as the amount of water depends on the quality of the flour. It should be thick enough to coat the rose cookie mould and not of dropping consistency like a dosa batter. 2. Greasing the cookie mould by dipping in hot oil is necessary each time you fry a new cookie. 3. If you don’t have powdered sugar, grind the table sugar in a mixer and sieve it before use.

Rose cookie is not originally an Anglo indian recipe. Keralites make this with very different ingredients which had been modified over the years buy other communities who have made this their own.

Unfortunately, ,, the real achappams are made with rice flour and coconut milk with added sugar and sesame seeds. Maida is not used by Christians in kerala..also no baking soda
