Break cake

It is ironic that the time that I have been eating lots is the time that I have been writing less of it. I havent been having much variety. Bored of whole wheat with peaut butter and brown rice, I have finally moved to some grapes and banana.
I first read of Viennese brownies on womansday.com but hey picture wins. with these I hope to break the fast of not having made desserts in a long time.
I have a birthday coming up. Cake time again. Yippee!

Thinking about Viennese brownies, I realise that it rhymes. Instead of baking them in a 9x9 square pan, I used a 8in round pan. And there started my troubles. I dont know why I wanted the brownies to be like pie slices, I had to almost bake them double time. Family and friends liked the taste, so no regret. I felt that the cream cheese part tasted like khalakand sweet.What I made didnt have the nice sandwich layer like in the pictures. once of the reasons is the swirl that I did which I shouldnt have because I put almond slices on the top. It was hard to decide what I wanted. The swirl look or the almond topping look. I was going to do half of this and half of that, but I did both which kind of served only half the purpose.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
