Madhu Sree, vaangga, I remember posting a recipe for pineapple rasam.
Let me check, otherwise, I will post again.
Imm pineapple rasam gama gamanu irrukkum.

Narthangaai saadam is just like our lemon rice.
Use narthangaa instead of lemon. Just taste that the juice is not bitter.

O.K rainy seasonukku Madhu aanna veetukku poi citron eduthu varalaam.
Thanks, Kugan

Now add in the flour mixture and and mix till it forms,
a plaiable dough. Add the 3 tbs flour little by little if the dough is sticky.

Now take a marble size of the dough, and flatten it little.
Grease a baking tray and line them, a little apart.
Bake for about 15 minutes or till the cookies are cooked.
Remove and cool them before storing.

Dear Aarthii, how are you and your family?
Thanks for your post and welcome.
Hope every thing is fine.
Will mail you soon. Kugan

Dear Ramrish, thanks for your nice post.
Glad to know that you want to try the recipe.
As I have replied to Dev, you can use a cookie cutter.
One more tip, keep the dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
It will be easier to roll and cut the cookies.
I will soon post a recipe for choco chip cookies.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
