This is my 3rd recipe in Baked category
I had decided to make Orange Mousse or Orange Cheesecake which get rave reviews every time I make and is fairly simple to make. I wanted good oranges for both as I prefer to use fresh orange juice needed in the recipe.
I have mentioned earlier that I live in a small rural town in a tribal area and have to make do without things as they are simply not available when one needs them. Oranges were not available. I thought with the Ganpati Festival at least one fruit vendor will get good quality oranges or Kinus. But no and I had left it to late to make anything with O. So I came up with these Onion Crackers. I use to fry them but reading this recipe at
