BM #116 Day 1 -
We, the BM group have embarked on yet another Mega Marathon with 26 posts in the month of september. This was postponed from April 2020 owing to the Pandemic. We are glad to be resuming our Mega Marathon.
In this edition we are off on saturdays and each week there will be a different theme. So we have the first and last weeks of September with 4 days each and the remaining 3 weeks with 6 days each.
This week I will be posting different types of platters. Today it is the High Tea Platter with Irani Samosa, Eggless Whole Wheat Custard Powder Cookies, Eggless Marble Cake, Smashed Baby Potatoes, Crunchy Puri and Masala Chai.
Keep reading for the recipe while I get the next platter ready for tomorrow.

Method Of Preparation -
Whisk the flour, custard powder, coconut powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Pour in the oil and combine to make a stiff dough sprinkling as much milk as needed.
Set aside the dough for a few minutes.
Pinch 36-38 equal portions of dough, roll them into thick discs, flatten with a fork and arrange in a lined baking tray.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Bake the cookies for about 15-18 minutes and remove from the oven. Allow them to cool and enjoy them.

Hi Tea Platter is fantastic, I love Irani Samosas - they remind me of Hyderabad , the marble cake is anytime welcome and those smashed potatoes , they are tempting me ! I might not drink tea , but the complete spread is perfect to enjoy without tea !
Love the first platter and looking forward to the rest !
The whole platter looks awesome Harini. I am eyeing that marble cake and the samosa. All the dishes will surely make high tea a wonderful experience. Looking forward to all your thalis.
The high tea platter is surely a wonderful theme to start with. What a wonderful array of dishes you have presented there and it is lovely to include Indian dishes as well. I love everything on your platter as Vaishali mentioned.
That’s a mouthwatering feast on the table. Love the table cloth too, it has a picnic feel to it :-). And the masala chai is so perfect for this! Lookin forward to your thalis :-)
Everything looks too tempting and I am confused which one to pick and which one to leave. Looking forward to your platters
I am a big-time high tea fan especially love floral teas and cookies. And this custard powder cookies sounds so yum and are there any alternatives to coconut powder? Can I use almond flour instead?
Your tea platter looks amazing with everything laid perfectly and something for everyone. The custard cookies looks good and yum, I have a lot of custard powder and was wondering what to do. Have a yummy recipe to try now
Fantastic platter Harini!Everything looks so good but I'm eyeing those smashed Baby potato and the Irani Samosa.
