cake in a bowl

Few days ago, I froze water in a small cup with a spoon in to make chocolate cups later. Today happened to be the right time for it. I melted butterscotch chips and dipped the frozen cup filler in the chocolate. I left it in the bowl to attend to other things. When I tried to wiggle the ice lose, it came out easily but the bottom of the cup stuck to the bowl. Then it was also a good time to try this recipe for cup of coffee cake in under five forwarded by my friend. I used 1 whole egg and replaced sourcream with yogurt. I chose not to use the crumble. Instead I put chunks of just solidified butterscotch into the mixture before putting it into the microwave. It is a cool idea. Especially if you want to try out how some flavours work in cake and not have to do with a large cake and that too without having to spend too much time on it.
And not much stuff to beat or clean.

Egg Malai Masala

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
