Back in the day, chow mein was as far as most households ventured. And besides a few indo-chinese staples in restaurants (with no unusual ingredients like tofu), there was no foreign food around. Iirc I don't think I ate pizza or pasta before getting to the US in 1997.

Might look for those break-off-and-bake cookies. Doubt I'll find it though. Much as I like the Indian-style biscuits with chai, It'd be fun to try to bake a soft fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie. Not gonna try from scratch though.

Are you going to try locally made chocolate?
Always wanted to try making Osmania biscuits, they seem like pie crust basically

I looked for chocolate chips but didn't immediately spot them, so we'll see. I don't know where to find locally made chocolate (unless you mean Amul, not some gourmet local single-origin bean or something).

M&N chocolates in RS Puram I believe, you could chop up their dark chocolate bars. They carry cocoa powder too. Plus they claim to deliver to door.

same here, coimbatore is famous for bakeries... I'm just randomly thinking of baking cookies because my sister bought an oven for my mom which she basically never uses

Every trip there are ever more fancier bakeries, leagues ahead of anything in suburban NJ. Lucky I don’t have a sweet tooth.
I’d love to learn to make my grandma’s athirasas though.

Cheesecake is just as good eggless! Sub eggs with yogurt (works for carrot cake also)
And tastes very Indian desert adjacent, can be made into bars, with toppings, swirls etc.
